Testimonial for Lauren Heide
My husband and I first met Lauren in 2020 as a Parents-as-Teacher guide to our firstborn and we absolutely loved her ability to give us pointers and tips of how to help support his growth, both physically and mentally. Though we were saddened to see her leave as a PAT, we were very excited for her new endeavor starting Baby Bean Doula. Fast forward a few years later and finding out we were pregnant with Baby #3, our first item to check off the list was asking Lauren to join our care team for baby's arrival, to which she said yes... HOORAY!! While preparing for baby, Lauren provided us with helpful tips to ensure an as-smooth-as-possible labor, while also easing our stressors from our previous births. Having Lauren on our team gave us the peace of mind knowing we would have a birth that wouldn't traumatize us like our other two. She checked in on me during all parts of labor, kept me moving throughout and during contractions, had us try certain methods we had shown interest in, and provided encouragement when I didn't think I could go any further. Lauren's expertise and knowledge of our family made all the difference in our birth experience for baby #3. We are so fortunate to have had Lauren as our doula and cannot thank her enough for her contribution to our baby's birthing story. Though the Juneau community is losing an amazing doula, the Spokane community is gaining Lauren's expertise and amazing advocation for her clients. Thank you Lauren!!
