MY STORY

 

The space holder and joy bringer. The constant companion and energy creator. The giving hands, the biggest cheerleader.

Hi, I'm Lauren.

I’m a badass doula.

I was raised in Northern Virginia, studied in Florida, and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Theology. Shortly after school, I moved my life to Johannesburg, South Africa where I learned how to be a part of a community, how to be both supportive and supported.

 
 

Four years later, back in the States, I gave birth to my first son, Sterling, with my doula by my side. During my labor I met the rawest version of myself. She was adaptive, powerful, stunning, and strong. It was a monumental moment in my life that made me realize I am a force to be reckoned. As I began feeling empowered as a women and mother, I developed deep passions to see other women channeling their truest form of themselves, in and during labor. It’s a wild honor to support women in their pilgrimage into motherhood.

 
 

I have much love and respect for woman of all cultures, ethnicities and religions. I understand that the birth of your child(ren) is a sacred moment in your life. Your experience matters and the people who surround and support you throughout labor are hand picked. As your doula, I feel honored to be invited into your birth space. You create your flow, I go with you. I match your energy and your needs, and we work together as a team.

When I am not championing mothers in labor, you can find me singing at random venues, mountain biking like a mad woman, raising two wild little men, and surfing. I am playful and effervescent, with a good dose of spice, that thrives on human connection and vulnerability. There is no such thing as a stranger in my world. I love life and creating energy.
