HELPING YOU TRUST THE DESIGN OF BIRTH AND ENTER MOTHERHOOD WITH PEACE

Let’s Plan A Birth Your Mind, Body, And Spirit Look Forward To.

Serving mothers throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences. I support birth as a woman-centered, peace-filled, and transformative experience.

Hey there, I’m Lauren.

I’m a doula, childbirth educator, mama, and lover of God.

I know finding out you’re pregnant and preparing for birth can feel overwhelming. We live in a society that conditions women to fear this sacred transition period of their lives.

But I believe pregnancy is an opportunity for restorative healing in our bodies, a blessed connection to our babies, and connecting to our God-given intuition as women. I think no matter the circumstances of your birth, you can have peace. I’m here to support you in this.

I help women identify their birth fears, provide evidence-based childbirth education, and support families in my local community throughout their labor and births.

Culture is plagued with fear surrounding pregnancy and childbirth. I'm here to show you there is another way.

If you…

👉 Want to have an unmedicated, physiologic birth but are scared…

👉 Have had a previous unmedicated birth but weren’t adequately prepared…

👉 Are planning a homebirth and aren’t sure where to start…

👉 The first in your recent family to choose to birth differently…

👉 Aren’t sure what kind of birth you want but know you are ready to understand and deeply connect to your body…

👉 Know birth is a sacred life event and want to treat it as such…

👉 Already dabbling in holistic and alternative approaches to health and wellness…

This course is for you! It’s time to acquire the tools, confidence, and peace of mind to birth in your God-given power.

“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body

and knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.”

— A psalm of David, 139:13-16

I created these graphics (swipe to see 2nd!) to show you visually how the medicalization of birth impacts when babies are born (often to provider convenience). If you don’t care about physiologic birth, this probably won’t matter to you.
I wrote my miscarriage story last month. And today, mourning I don’t have our squishy one month old in my arms, felt like the day to honor his life by sharing more of what I walked through. Sharing this experience feels healing and helpful for
When most women imagine experiencing labor contractions, they tense up, grit their teeth, or clutch their hands. We’ve been taught birth is scary and hard and entirely miserable. And when we treat it as such, it is. But when we go inward,

Family Testimonials

  • I attended a workshop where Lauren did a presentation and let me just say she affirmed me in my decisions made for my daughter’s natural birth and also encouraged me in making holistic decisions for any future births I may have! 🤍🤍

  • I will forever be so thankful for Lauren. She truly held space for me and preserved an atmosphere of peace during my labor. Time and effort was taken to learn what support strategies would benefit me and she was ready with them at every right moment. Her sensitivity to the Holy Spirit was such a blessing as she watched over me, calling for strength and peace to be supplied to me when I so needed it. There was a moment in the beginning of active labor where I reached out for my husband’s hand, but as he wasn’t facing me he didn’t notice. But Lauren noticed. She was so aware of me and rose up with support and encouragement when I couldn’t express the need vocally. Even with my husband present as an caring and active support person, there was so much need for Lauren as my doula. I could probably go on and on, but I will say that I would have Lauren present again and again and again. We had some unforseen changes to our birth plan, and Lauren attending as our doula ended up being one of the few things that did not change. I cannot fully express my gratitude for her steadiness in the midst of so much change and readjustment. I would encourage any woman considering hiring a doula to reach out to Lauren. She is powerful, gentle, attentive and carrys an immense passion and love for women and birth.

  • Lauren is awesome! From her interpersonal touch to brutal honesty you can’t pick a better child birth educator/doula/coach, especially if you’re planning an at home birth. If you’re planning a hospital birth, I have no doubts that she will fight for your preferences with any nurse or doctor, should it ever come down to it. I would trust her to advocate for me anytime and any day! As my husband put it, “God has put her on this earth to do exactly what she’s doing” and she excels at it :)

  • Where do I start with Lauren! I had first found her Instagram and was ASTOUNDED at the freedom, empowerment and voice she carried in her feed. I truly don’t know that I’ve learned more from birth pages as I have from hers. And they’re so well worded and formulated, not belittling or demeaning. Then we met in person and I fell in love even more!!! She is one of the warmest friendliest women I have ever met. We chatted over coffee for a little over an hour and I could’ve sat with her for 5+ hours. She is SO attentive and educated. She is supportive and empowering and such a bundle of resource. You can expect her to be honest, empowering and kind… and if you are even considering hiring her, this is your sign - DO IT! One of the reasons I am most excited to get pregnant is to have her as my doula/childbirth educator and to have her champion my husband & I throughout my perinatal period. I can’t rave enough!

  • Lauren is absolutely amazing! She helped my husband and I walk unconventionally through birth classes with baby #5. Having never taken a birth class, Lauren helped encourage us that there was always something we could learn and that she would be happy to customize our birth class experience by focusing on the areas we felt were most applicable or important to our family. She did just that! I would suggest Lauren to anyone looking for birth education classes or needing birth support in any way! She is passionate, compassionate, and incredibly gifted in birth education and advocacy for Mommy and baby's health. We are so thankful that she played a role in helping us have the birth outcome we desired!
