Birth support is offered as a comprehensive package for $1000, which includes two prenatal visits, continuous labour support, use of comfort tools like TENS and aromatherapy, and a postpartum follow-up. Postpartum care is available at $35–$45/hr, depending on timing and depth of support. Daytime visits typically start at $35/hr, while evening, overnight, or more involved care—like meal prep, herbal support, or personalized healing practices—may be at the higher end.

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!
