I worked alongside Laura for a number of years as co-leaders of a breastfeeding support group. Laura was gentle, warm, and upbeat in all her interactions with the mothers and their babies. She shined in instilling confidence in mothers to develop their own parenting style, while also drawing on her experience and knowledge to help guide them through rough patches. Behind the scenes, Laura is very organized and reliable. Helping families get off to a good start has been a passion of Laura's for over 20 years. I highly recommend her services as a post-partum doula!

If you're on the fence about hiring a Postparum Doula, let me do my best to sell you on why Laura is the best investment for families welcoming a new baby! 

1) Laura is incredible with Babies AND Moms. She is kind, compassionate, a good listener and knows when to lead and when to "be with". Her presence is calm and grounded. 

2) She's very knowlegble about breastfeeding. She helped me with positoinal changes, pumping support and held space for me to process what it looked like being away from baby while breastfeeding. 

3) She's a wonderful educator on babywearing. My baby loved nappping with Laura or going on spring walks. 

4) She's a wonderful cook! She helped us with meal prep and produce chopping for quick snacks in the fridge. 

5) She helped me with laundry, even for my older children. 

I would highly reccomend working with Laura for any famlies welcoming a new baby. We hired her to work with our family for our third baby but I wish we would have hired her with my first two. She's a GEM!
