You. Do. You.

I say it all the time.

I so often see people and accounts sharing posts that seem judgmental. Making people feel bad for the choices they make.

Sleep training? Great. Bed Sharing? Great. Formula or Breast Milk? Both are awesome! Medicated vs unmedicated? Super cool. Want to be induced rather than spontaneous labor? Let’s do it. All are great. You do You. Why shame people for their choices?

As a doula, I educate and support. I give my clients evidence-based information, that way they can make the best choice that works for them and their family. Then, I support that decision! Easy.

You do You. Raise your family in a way that works for you.

Pregnancy isn’t for everyone. And that’s okay! It can be hard, exhausting and defeating at times. Just because you don’t enjoy being pregnant doesn’t mean you don’t or won’t love your baby.

For some folks it’s the constant worry of what’s next- future plans, financial worries or how it’s going to affect your relationships. For others, it’s the feeling like your body isn’t yours anymore. Maybe hard to recognize yourself? And for others, they may be experiencing perinatal depression.

However you are feeling, know you are not alone.

This is Us✨

I’m Lauren. I’m a Birth and Postpartum Doula. I’m passionate about supporting individuals and their families during such a transitional time. I love teaching. I used to teach preschool. I love all things child development.

Outside of my birth and postpartum work, I love to cook and bake. I’m trying to pick up golf so I can hopefully, one day, beat my sweet fiancé 😬We are getting married in a few short months! To say we are obsessed with our dog is an understatement.

If anyone has recommendations on hobbies I can pick up… let me know! It’s hard when work is also your hobby 🙃

Expecting parents and new mothers are bringing life forth in isolation like we haven't in decades. But there is hope.

Doulas are in close proximity to the mother throughout labor and can help her have a more positive and empowering birth experience.

What exactly do postpartum doulas do can be answered quite simply. They instill a sense of stability where new parents can thrive.
