Hello! My name is Lauren, and I provide heartfelt birth and postpartum support for mothers and families during one of life’s most transformative seasons. As both a birth and postpartum doula—and a mother myself—I understand the importance of feeling empowered, nurtured, and understood throughout pregnancy, birth, and the days that follow. Whether it’s offering calm, steady presence during labor, or providing personalized postpartum care—like preparing meals, tending to laundry, offering emotional support, or sharing practical guidance—I’m here to walk alongside you. My goal is to create a space rooted in simplicity, generosity, and authenticity so you can feel cared for and focus on what matters most: your growing family.

Lauren is amazing! She helped me build my birth plan and was able to bring her own experience and knowledge to help me make educated decisions. I ended up having to be medically induced early, and she talked through my birth plan with me again and helped me make adjustments. Day of, it was SO helpful to have her in the room to talk through decisions because the midwife was giving recommendations to change my birth plan, and it was so helpful to have a third party person who was educated in L&D to be able to talk this through with and come to the best conclusion for me. In the midst of giving birth, she was so helpful, attending to our every need. Because we had met ahead of time and she really took the time to get to know my goals and desires, she was able to advocate for me. I had precipitous labor, so things escalated quickly. At one point, my midwife asked me a question about pain meds that needed an immediate response. I was mid-contraction and unable to speak, but Lauren jumped in with no hesitation and communicated exactly what I wanted to say! She was also able to help keep my husband calm and engaged during our baby’s birth, and even he said he was so thankful Lauren was there with us! I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone interested in hiring a doula!

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a wife, mother to three beautiful girls, and a doula who believes every woman deserves to feel heard, protected, and deeply cared for during their journey to motherhood. I found my calling to be a doula through my own journey into motherhood and my three very different birth stories. Birth is one of the most powerful and vulnerable experiences in a woman’s life, and no one should have to walk through it alone. I believe birth is a God-given process. My role as your doula is to help create an environment where the body feels safe, supported, and free to do the work it was created to do. Birth can be unpredictable, but your support shouldn’t be. Whether you need a calm voice during labor, someone to advocate for your wishes, or simply a reassuring presence, I’m there. When you invite me into your birth journey, you’re not just gaining a doula, you’re gaining someone who will treat you like family. I believe every family deserves to feel heard, protected, and confident in their choices. I will walk beside you using my personal experiences and evidence based information to provide steady support and encouragement so that you can make decisions that feel right for you and your baby and step into your birth experience feeling confident and prepared. To me, this work is not just about birth. It’s about people. It’s about families. Your birth, your voice, your story. I’m simply there to help you feel supported, protected, and empowered through it all. Whatever your birth goals are, I’d love to hear them. I have faith in you. Let’s chat and see if we’re a good match!

First off Rhonda was amazing from the moment I met her on zoom I instantly felt safe motherly love. She was someone that could help me navigate through my pregnancy and birth. My first pregnancy I was younger less educated on birth and nervous. My pregnancy in 2024 leading up to the birth of my baby girl was nothing short of amazing. Rhonda encouraged me, she was attentive, she checked on me regularly. If you are looking for a doula she is the one. I absolutely will never forget her being apart of my life and the impact she made on myself and my family. I delivered a 7 lb 2 oz baby girl natural no medication at all and I thank Rhonda and god for seeing me through that deliver. When I wanted to give up and said I couldn't do it Rhonda encouraged me and comforted me we listened to gospel music during my delivery as she rubbed my face and talked me through if I were to have another baby id call her right on up. I will forever love her and respect her. She even did my placenta encapsulation she is heaven sent call Rhonda right on up!

Julie Trotter

I’m a Mother of 5 and have been a Birth and Postpartum Doula since 2005. I believe informed, supported families make confident decisions and that emotional safety matters just as much as physical care. My approach is calm, judgment-free, and deeply client-centered. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with hands-on education, advocacy, and compassionate emotional support. I’m especially mindful of how past experiences, expectations, and birth trauma can shape the way someone moves through pregnancy and birth, and I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I don’t believe there’s one “right” way to give birth. My role is to meet you where you are, help you understand your options, and support you in making decisions that feel aligned with your values. Whether you’re planning a low-intervention birth, navigating medical care, or processing a previous experience, I’m here to walk alongside you. When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me staying active in the gym, learning more about holistic health, or soaking up time with my own family.

We highly recommend Julie! From day one, she brought such positive energy into our home, and her support during the early days with our newborn was truly invaluable. She was attentive, respectful, and incredibly helpful, making our transition into this new chapter so much smoother. Thank you so much, Julie, for everything you did to help us settle in!

We were lucky enough to have Leah as our night nurse for six months, starting from the very first night we brought our son home from the hospital. From day one, she brought such a calm, reassuring presence into our home—and we instantly trusted her. Leah is incredibly knowledgeable and was a steady guide for us as first-time parents. She helped our son develop a strong, consistent schedule (both day and night), which made a huge difference for everyone’s sleep and sanity. She was also an amazing resource for postpartum support—always ready with thoughtful advice and encouragement when we needed it most. In addition, Leah is flexible and truly does her best to accommodate any schedule changes. She always made us feel like our family’s well-being was her top priority. Our baby absolutely adored her and gravitated toward her from the beginning. Leah made a meaningful impact on our family, and we’re so grateful for the care and peace of mind she gave us. If you’re considering night support for your newborn, I can’t recommend her highly enough!

When I got connected with Marissa, I just knew she was the right doula for me. I know there’s no such thing as perfect, but my spirit truly aligned with hers. I trusted God and felt at peace not choosing a backup doula, even though I had interviewed three. And I have no regrets. I was induced at 37 weeks, so I wasn’t able to fully follow my birthing plan. However, we had discussed it in depth, and she knew exactly what I wanted. Marissa was firm, supportive, and confident which I deeply appreciated. She wasn’t afraid to speak up for me. She made sure to ask me if decisions being made were truly what I wanted and ensured I understood everything happening. She also made sure she had all the information just like I did. I felt completely comfortable and safe with her. I didn’t feel like I had to track or manage everything because I knew she was doing that. She made sure I had water, juice, crackers everything I needed. I’m not used to being taken care of. I’m usually the strong friend, the one who handles everything on my own. So when Marissa was putting chapstick on my lips, socks on my feet, rubbing my back, and helping me stay comfortable, it honestly shocked me in the best way. It meant more than I can explain. Yes, she’s a doula but to me, it never felt like just a job to her. It felt genuine, loving, and intentional. I will always adore and appreciate her for how she showed up for me during one of the most important moments of my life.

Mislene was so encouraging and supportive throughout my labor, delivery, and postpartum. She has consistently shown support for me and my family through the ups and downs of childbirth and parenthood. I would definitely recommend her to any new moms.

— Cara M., review of Mislene Cherisca

September 2026

I had the BEST experience with Mislene. Even my mother fell in love. Lol. Every step of the process giving birth for the first time was handled with care. I truly felt at ease. We had plans A, B, and C in place, and had to use them all. Mislene supported me the entire pregnancy, encapsulated my placenta, and did belly binding after. I could not have asked for a better experience!

— Davynn B., review of Mislene Cherisca

September 2026

I would highly recommend getting a doula to help educate you along your pregnancy journey especially Mislene she’s very knowledgeable and attentive to creating a peaceful environment for you while you’re getting ready for your upcoming delivery date and helped me prepare with my first baby I didn’t know what to expect or the different things to do to help ease your delivery. Until I met my doula I would encourage everyone to have her apart of their special moment welcoming your little one into this world!
