Testimonials

  • “We hired Lauren to be with us for the birth of our baby girl in 2019. After a challenging first birth 3 years before, I felt having a doula with us for the second round would be comforting. Lauren exceeded all expectations. She is so calm, caring and championing at the same time. Prior to the birth she made sure she was very aware of my wishes. She was very reassuring that she would do everything that she could to advocate for my plan, but was also upfront and truthful that sometime we have to be open to last minute change. We ended up with a healthy baby girl and a healthy and happy mama. I will recommend Laurens care to all my friends!”

  • “Lauren is awesome! She was the perfect addition to our story and we are both so glad she was there. She checked in on me frequently while pregnant and helped me with a birth plan, which brought up questions I didn’t even know I had and topics I wouldn’t have known to think about. She worked her butt off for me the day of delivery, she and the nurses did everything they could to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. She not only provided endless support for me, but really important support for my husband as well. Things don’t always go as planned and having someone experienced by your side along the way can be EVERYTHING. You rock lady! XOXO”

  • “Lauren was so helpful in the birth of our first child. Baby decided to come early before my mother could join us in Juneau and having her help coach me through birth was so helpful. She assisted in motivating me through a long labor and helped me get things moving when labor slowed down. She stayed with us for the majority of my 40 hour labor and I don’t know if I could have done it without her. Lauren is a wonderful doula.”

  • “I had to come to Juneau to give birth and leave behind my 2 year old daughter with my mom. I was alone and in a strange town. I was staying at a hotel and had no support. My OB strongly suggested that I call Lauren. I had no idea what a doula was but I’m beyond grateful that she was able to be with me during my labor and birth. Things took a turn about 13 hours in and without Lauren (who I now consider part of our family) I don’t know what would have happened. She went above and beyond to take care of me and right at the start of a pandemic too. Lauren is where it’s at. Thank you so much!”

  • “We hired Lauren because we knew I was going to have to labor and birth alone, while my husband stayed behind at the hotel with our toddler. Being from out of town and having no support in Juneau was scary, I’m so happy I took the recommendation from my OB to talk to Lauren. Having Lauren with me in my birth, when I was all alone and memories of my first birth were coming back, astounded me. I never realized how much I needed her and needed her help in processing my first birth in order to have this second birth. She was positive and calm, clear about everything that was happening, she kept my husband up to date and eventually was able to video call him when our second son was being born. She also took pictures that we will cherish forever. Thank you again, Lauren! You changed my view on birth and helped me feel empowered and in charge.”

  • Lauren is smart, funny and understanding. During labor she helped draw out the strength I needed to birth my baby with confidence. She brought confidence and calm into the birthing room and was so good about picking up details in the background that allowed things to run smoothly. She has built relationships with so many people in the field and in our community it felt like we have known her for years. We couldn't recommend her more for people expecting a baby and seeking support.
