A visiting angel! Lauren was a wonderful support postpartum. Part of what makes postpartum a little overwhelming is the lack of time to keep up on everyday essential tasks. Lauren stepped in and cleaned my house, did our dishes, helped care for me and my children, and cooked us delicious, nutritious, organic meals. It made a world of difference in my postpartum experience! She is a lovely soul who is accepting and easy to be around – which is so important when you’re feeling emotional and vulnerable after giving birth. She held space for me to share my birth story and brought compassion and empathy to such an emotional experience. She’s an angel!

Lauren made my birth and postpartum experience wonderful. She was there to support me with advice, expert knowledge, and especially pain relieving massages during contractions at the hospital. I was very nervous about the whole labor process and communicating my birth preferences to the nurses. My first experience at a hospital was giving birth to my first born, so I was very relieved to know that Lauren was there to support me and guide me through the process. Lauren had given me information about the whole labor process and asked me about all of my birth plan preferences weeks before hand. This gave me time to really think about what I wanted for me and my baby and do my own research. Lauren is an easy-going and open person. I love that about her. She is so easy to talk to and really makes you feel taken care of pre, post, and during labor. I would recommend Lauren to any of my friends and family that are expecting. She really is the most compassionate doula!

Post eating the delicious made-with-love lactation cookie you brought over: I put baby down in the bassinet with your sleep tips. We couldn’t have done that without you!
