Empathetic, calming, nurturing

The fourth trimester is a unique and tender time that deserves utmost care and attention. I believe postpartum planning and nurturing care are the keys to a positive and fulfilling experience. My holistic approach encompasses nourishing meals, gentle body care, community support, and essential rest. Every family is unique, and your care is tailored to meet your specific wants and needs.

About

As a mother of two beautiful children, I intimately understand the joys and challenges that come with the postpartum period. My own journey inspired me to become a passionate advocate for new parents, providing them with the support and care they truly deserve during this tender time. My journey into postpartum care has been enriched by the wisdom of ancient traditions, including Ayurvedic practices and other nurturing techniques. I bring this knowledge into my doula practice to offer you a holistic experience that enhances your postpartum healing and rejuvenation. My services include meal planning, belly binding, warm oil body treatments, and herbal soaks. I also offer postpartum planning education for you and your support team. I am honored to be a part of your postpartum experience, and I look forward to helping you create a nurturing space where you can thrive as a parent. When I’m not supporting new families, you can find me gardening, having a dance party with my little ones, or trying to sneak in a few pages of the latest book I’m reading.

 

Postpartum can be the most nourishing time of your life.

Hear from my families

"Lauren is fantastic. She was pivotal in my postpartum and motherhood journey. Lauren was able to step into my home and always have a positive impact. I particularly enjoyed help with cooking and trying new recipes she shared. The herbal baths and body work were an extra treat and time to spend on myself. She is a wealth of knowledge and always willing to help in whatever way she can. I will miss having her here to help and to talk to. Thank you for everything Lauren!!!"
"After a rough postpartum experience following the birth of my first child in early 2020, I knew that I would benefit from the help of a postpartum doula with my second child. I was referred to Lauren by a friend who raved about her recent experience and I had to learn more. I reached out to Lauren while I was just a few months pregnant with my daughter and felt an immediate connection. As we discussed her offerings, I became very interested in her ayurvedic postpartum support packages and decided to ask that she help me along my postpartum journey as my doula. I am a very private person so I was a bit unsure about hiring a doula, but my experience with Lauren was not what I had expected. Even in our initial calls during my pregnancy, she was so supportive of my goals and open to hearing my fears, while guiding me through unfamiliar ayurvedic practices. As I experienced some complications towards the end of my pregnancy, she was always available to talk (and really listen) and very flexible in accommodating what felt like a constant moving timeline for our little girl's arrival. When our baby arrived, Lauren seamlessly joined our little family, offering support while never being intrusive. I looked forward to her visits, which allowed me some time to focus on myself during a period of life where it can be very easy to lose yourself. She was always attuned to my needs (as well as the needs of my family) and never unwilling to pivot when those needs changed, even on a daily basis. Some days Lauren focused exclusively on preparing soothing foods or teas, while other days we would do almost exclusively self-care activities. Other days, she would just hold our baby while she slept so that I could shower or nap. When our daughter faced some health challenges, Lauren took the initiative to guess what might be most needed, which was so appreciated. I look back on those first six weeks with such fond memories and Lauren is a large part of that. I consider Lauren a friend for life and would recommend her to anyone looking for a more joyous postpartum experience."
