“Lauren, I can’t thank you enough for all your support, guidance and experience. There is no doubt I wouldn’t have been able to do it without you. You were comforting when I needed it, pushed me when I needed the encouragement, and advocated for me when I couldn’t. So grateful for you. Thank you.”

“Thank you Lauren for helping me have the birth experience of my dreams!!!”

“Lauren invests her whole heart and soul into her work and goes above and beyond for her clients. I engaged her late in my pregnancy and only worked with her for a few weeks before I delivered, but I knew right away that I would choose her as the one support person I was allowed in L&D at the hospital. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, that meant I could not have my husband there. But despite the stress of the situation, I felt safe and supported with her by my side. Lauren made herself extremely available for me throughout our work together. She quickly intuited my style and tailored her support to my preferences. For example, she quickly figured out that I’m a very evidence-based person, and took upon herself to send bullet-point summaries of all the research she had combed along with links to relevant studies to answer my many questions. I had an extremely challenging VBAC and Lauren stayed by my side throughout a 13-hour labor without so much as a break for food or the bathroom. I could not have achieved my goal of an unmedicated, natural birth without her by my side. In short, she was amazing and I’d recommend her to anyone!”

“I knew in the first minute of our initial conversation that Lauren was who I wanted by my side during this process. She had such a calming presence over the phone, I felt confident she could help manage my anxiety. Lauren far exceeded our expectations. She arrived at our house at 2am, right when my labor entered the height of its intensity. She used all kinds of coping methods for the next 6 hours while my contractions were 3-5 minutes apart. She encouraged me to make all the decisions on my own and supported my choices. She was there to offer her insight but not to interfere. She then stood my our side for the next 12 hours at the hospital until our daughter safely entered the world. My husband and I would have been at a total loss without the aid of Lauren. We credit our positive labor experience to her and are forever grateful for her guidance.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Lauren. The most important thing to note is how well Lauren listens and retains information about your wants and needs. She came to the birth prepared with everything she needed to help me execute the birth I wanted. Lauren was patient, responsive, present, a source of constant support. She believed in me when I absolutely did not believe in myself. Because of her, and solely because I listened to her coaching, I was able to deliver without medication. That was so important to me and she made sure it got done! She took my needs very seriosuly and advocated for me in the hospital during and after labor. It was a beautiful experience through and through. ”

“CALMING- that is the word I would use to describe Lauren! She has a peaceful presence to her that is the ideal spirit needed in a doula. My husband and I would have been lost without her calming guidance as we labored at home and later in the hospital. Lauren provided both emotional and physical support throughout my pregnancy and most importantly, in the hospital. It is thanks to her that I was able to experience the birth I imagined and held it together to welcome a beautiful baby boy while laboring and delivering without medication. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support in one of the most important days of our lives!”

“We recently used Lauren for the birth of our first child which was a marathon (talking 24 hours), all night long event. Lauren stuck by us through the entire event which was an emotional rollercoster ride of decision making, delays and shift changes. She was extremely positive and non-judgemental (super helpful for my skeptical but sensitive personality). She provided warm emotional support, a wealth of knowledge, massage and encouragement which was irriplaceable. I highly recommend her services, especially for someone like myself who was quite nervous about the whole experience. She is highly positive and is passionate about what she does. ”

“For me and my husband hiring Lauren to be our doula was single most important decision that allowed us to have natural unmedicated birth that we dreamed of. She is incredibly warm, approachable and down to earth, at the same time, if needed, she will be a gladiator fighting for you and your baby. She is extremely knowledgeable and takes time to get to know you and understand your needs. That’s exactly who you need in the delivery room!

Lauren allowed us to be better prepared for the labor. She helped us get through it and welcome our precious baby to this world. She also followed up with us multiple times to make sure that all of our questions were answered. It was a true pleasure to have her on our team. I don’t think that we would be able to achieve our goals without her help. ”

“We were on the fence about hiring a doula for the birth of our second child, but we’re so glad we decided to work with Lauren. From the beginning, she was warm, positive, and engaging. She made us feel like she was personally invested in me having the labor that I envisioned. Lauren was available to answer all of our questions before labor through email, text, and calls. The day of our daughter’s birth, Lauren went out of her way to meet us at our midwife’s office for a check and then was waiting for us at the hospital when we arrived. She never left my side, always looking for ways to support me through each contraction (while also hydrating me and giving me energy boosts with honey and apple sauce). Lauren was positive and encouraging the whole way through! After my daughter was born, she stayed with us another couple of hours to make sure that all was well. Postpartum, she was able to share contact information for lactation consultants, physical therapists, etc. and checked in many times on the progress of my recovery. I would absolutely recommend Lauren to any family looking for support during pregnancy and delivery.”

“Hiring Lauren to assist in the birth of our daughter was one of the best decisions my husband and I could have made as first time parents. Lauren has a very warm and welcoming personality. My husband and I immediately felt at ease talking to her during our first meeting. Lauren answered all of our questions and gave us very helpful advice. When I went into labor, a bit earlier than expected, Lauren met us at the hospital immediately and was there every step of the way. During our hospital stay, Lauren ensured that I was well taken care of and anticipated my every need. Lauren provided constant emotional support and helped us remember all of the techniques that we went over in childbirth class (which are all pretty easy to forget when in the throes of labor) and talked me through every contraction. My husband and I both are forever grateful for Lauren and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing doula. We look forward to working with Lauren again in the future.”
