TESTIMONIALS:
Lauren has been such a wonderful support to us during our pregnancy and through postpartum with our daughter. She is a warm soul and really extended her heart to us during the many ups and downs of bringing our first child into the world.
Lauren’s background in herbalism came in handy many times during our time together- She is always ready with a remedy to recommend to address and physical or emotional challenges that came up. She made us some wonderful teas for pregnancy support and lactation that really made a difference. My milk supply was low and it quickly increased after a magic jar of herbs from Lauren.
I really appreciated the way Lauren checked in with me regularly during my pregnancy. She really held me and saw me through some rough spots along the way. I can’t express enough the authenticity of the support and love she offers her clients. As a mama of three, she knows what you’re going through!
We especially enjoyed having her cook us delicious, nourishing meals after the birth. It was such a treat to lie in bed and be taken care of as a family after such an intense ride. Anyone seeking a compassionate and supportive partner in birth would be very lucky to have Lauren at their side.

Having just given birth, I was looking for someone who could come into
my home with love and respect for the sacred time-space we were in. I
feel so fortunate that we found Lauren, she has gently entered my home
and offered so much helpful guidance and warmth just with her presence
alone. She has a wide breadth of knowledge of herbal medicine and
post-partum woman/infant care.
Lauren shows up with full presence and openness for your process,
which I found to be so crucial; to be allowed to be as I was during
those first tender weeks and still now; has offered me a way to rest
in the unfolding.
Lauren offers the most gentle loving support, coming from years of experience.
Lauren understands the delicate time-space a woman is traversing
post-partum and how to offer support for both Mom and new baby. Over
the past 3 months, I have continued to lean on Lauren's kind help both
in the home with practicalities and in my personal healing. She makes
the best soups, that my partner and I just love.
She has also offered herbal remedies that have aided my healing both
physically and emotionally; from tonics/syrups to poultices and her
intuitive way has been tremendously helpful and on the mark.
I would highly recommend working with Lauren for your birth-process; I
only wish I had started working with her earlier during my pregnancy.

Lauren was the doula for the birth of my second child, and I could not have been more grateful for her presence! Lauren was wise, sensitive, supportive, intuitive, encouraging, and calm. She was everything I could have hoped for in a doula :)
She skillfully applied physical counter-pressure when needed which helped tremendously with the intense back labor. This birth experience was so much more positive than my previous one, and having a caring and skilled doula made all the difference. Thank you, Lauren! It was such a gift to have you at our birth.
