My labour and birth was long and had many changes… what started out as a fast progressing home birth turned into a c section after 14 hours of labour in hospital. I couldn’t have done it without the support of Lauren, she was my support person for my C-section and she was steady and calm when I was not.

Lauren is funny, kind, knowledgable and beyond supportive. The tools she also provided me with close to my birth were so helpful, she’s just so prepared with whatever you might need. Although Lauren was there as primarily my support and advocate, she was also great support for my partner. He really clicked with her as well, which was so important. She had resources for him and our prenatal visit before my birth was so helpful for him.

Throughout my pregnancy, labour and postpartum I felt totally supported by Lauren. She did many check ins via text and was constantly offering advice if needed.

I cannot recommend her enough. She was such a huge part of bringing our sweet baby here, and I would absolutely choose her again if we have another child.

I have so many great things to say about Lauren, but if you only read a few sentences of this, my key advice is hire her as your doula! 

Lauren was incredibly kind and supportive with me during my pregnancy, birth, and post partum. She is very responsive and informative. If she didn't have an answer for me, she went looking for the information. I originally planned to have a natural birth when I hired Lauren, and shifted my birth plan to planned C Section which was a big shift in terms of type of  support needed. Lauren pivoted her resources and approach immediately and still provided me with the absolute best support. It's just really nice to know you have someone in your corner. Pregnancy is rough at times and I had so many questions. She always answered so quickly, thoroughly, and made me feel calm. 

On my birth day, Lauren was running around the city trying to find me specific items to make me more comfortable, and has just been an absolute pleasure to work with. 

I could go on and on, but overall, I'd highly recommend Lauren. She's full of life and energy and is wonderful to be around. A solid voice and advocate for you and your pregnancy and post partum journey. What more could you ask for!

I can’t recommend Lauren enough. From the very beginning, she brought a calm, capable presence into our home and offered thoughtful, steady support—not just for our baby, but for me as a new mother. Unlike many doulas who focus mainly on the newborn, Lauren truly understands the importance of caring for the mother as well. She consistently made sure I felt seen, supported, and able to rest and recover. Lauren is incredibly reliable, attentive, and proactive. She quickly became our go-to overnight doula, and we always felt completely confident in her care. She’s also wonderfully engaged—she loved taking our baby out for walks in the stroller and to the playground, giving me the gift of quiet mornings and uninterrupted sleep. She’s easy to talk to, never hesitated to pitch in with anything that would make our lives easier—and she’s the kind of person who thinks of the little things. One of my favorite parts of having Lauren in our home was her tahini chocolate chip cookies. She made them during her shifts (testing and refining the recipe until it was just right), and I’d wake up to a fresh batch waiting for me in the kitchen. It became a small but deeply appreciated ritual. Lauren is a true professional with a generous heart, and any family would be lucky to have her by their side during the postpartum season.

Lauren has been an absolute game changer in my postpartum journey. I’ve worked with a few doulas in the past, but she’s the first one who truly went above and beyond to support me as a mother—not just the baby. Every challenge I ran into, she had an answer or a solution ready. From emotional support to practical guidance, she made me feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for.

One of the most amazing things she did was prepping meals for us during the night while everyone (including baby) was sleeping. I can’t express how deeply comforting it was to wake up to a clean kitchen and a fridge full of nourishing, homemade food. It made such a difference in how I started my days—less stress, more time to rest and recover, and actual meals I didn’t have to think about.

Lauren brought so much peace, care, and capability into our home. She handled every hurdle with grace and skill, and her presence felt like a warm exhale during a time that can feel so overwhelming. I’m endlessly grateful for her support and truly couldn’t recommend her more.

I truly cannot imagine my birth experience without Lauren by our side. From start to finish, she was an unwavering source of strength, knowledge, and support. My labor came with its challenges, but Lauren remained calm, confident, and incredibly resourceful the entire time. She seemed to have a position or technique for every stage, and her expertise in movement and positioning made a huge difference in how I coped through contractions.

One thing I still can’t get over is how she did double hip squeezes on me—nonstop—for what must have been 12 hours. My husband is twice her size and even he was in awe of her strength and stamina! She never left my side, and her support didn’t stop after the birth. Lauren was instrumental in helping me navigate early breastfeeding struggles, and she continued to check in for months postpartum. She always responded quickly to any questions we had, offering reassurance and thoughtful advice every time.

Lauren is a rare gem—compassionate, knowledgeable, and fiercely dedicated. I’m so grateful she was part of our birth team, and I truly can’t recommend her enough.

We started working with Lauren a few weeks postpartum and are so glad we did. Knowing now what a doula can do- and particularly how knowledgeable, supportive, and caring Lauren is- I wish we had had her help sooner! From the moment Lauren walked in, she was always doing something; she is hardworking and it's obvious she really cares about the people she works with. I was especially grateful for the way she was willing to problem-solve and think through things with us. We really valued her opinion. We were also so grateful for the overnight visits, which helped our whole family get a better footing in the earliest weeks. I would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone!

Lauren is an absolute pleasure to work with! She is very generous with her knowledge and experience. I immediately felt comfortable around her and had no reservations asking 'potentially dumb" questions or her perspective on different topics related to childbirth and child-rearing. I love that Lauren is open minded, non-judgmental and can easily interact with expecting moms from different backgrounds, cultures, ages and different life journeys. I highly highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a doula!

Lauren helped us with both day and night support for our two colicky  twin girls. She helped with breastfeeding, as well as the extremely difficult naps at the time. One of our girls could only nap while being worn and walking. Lauren would both help us get the one twin to sleep in the crib and then would walk the other while my husband and I could get a very much needed break! In addition to that she would regularly be our knight in shining armor after we had battled with the girls in the afternoon to stop screaming. She would walk in the door, and very calmly take the angrier of the two babies and they would almost immediately calm down. It was magic and she truly got us through the worst of it while handling both babies. I would recommend her to my family and friends, she is a phenomenal doula and we are so grateful for all of her help!

Lauren was a wonderful part of my pregnancy and post parfum journey. I had considered getting a doula for quite some time but didn’t end up getting one until the very end of my pregnancy. She helped me work towards the birth that I wanted and helped me preserve my decisions during labour. She made me feel a little more human in a situation that can take some of that away from you. She was a great support after the birth of my babes too and was always a warm friendly face.

Lauren provided our family with postpartum support after we had twins. She was warm, caring, attentive, and very competent in supporting us with the care of our boys. She has a calm presence and was a very welcome addition to our home. We would absolutely recommend her to other parents. Thanks Lauren!!

Lauren was extremely attentive, dedicated, and invested in us having a successful delivery. It was a long process and she stuck by our side the whole time, which made such a huge difference. We are so happy with how everything went. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a Doula!
