About Lacey

Hey! I’m Lacey and if I’m not gardening, crafting, or homeschooling my children, I’m obsessing with all things birth and postpartum. It all started when I was pregnant with my first, but I quickly became overwhelmed and scared with all the thoughts of how I was handling pregnancy, constantly hearing daunting labor stories, and also being baffled with the notion of breastfeeding and caring for my new yet changing body. I graciously had my family and friends for an amazing support system (which included some mouth watering meals by the way), but if I had an expert in the field I know I would have experienced less pain and anxiety. By the time I was pregnant with my second, I had a few goals in mind. They were to have a natural unmediated birth, to have a more positive breastfeeding journey, give myself grace, and become a doula to help YOU, but only IF I could successfully complete the prior three goals. Well, they all happened! And shortly after my second child had his first birthday, I became a certified birth doula and a couple years later I completed my postpartum training to become what we call a full spectrum doula. I’v attended countless births in all places and have supported women through homebirth, natural, medicated, cesarean, and Christian faith-based births. So if your a super crunchy granola type of girl or a silky satin lady there’s no judgment and I support it all. Now, sit back and rest assured that I am here for you 24/7. For the 2am questions through the 5am water breaking. For all the breastfeeding troubles and to reassure you that YES all the hair you are loosing during postpartum will grow back! I would be honored to be a part of this incredible time in your life. Education and Qualifications Bachelor in Biology and Minors in Psychology and Philosophy from LeMoyne College.

I am so grateful that we found Lacey! She was an integral part of my pregnancy journey. Lacey worked with us to create a custom package that made sense for our needs. I loved her calming and holistic approach; she is truly dedicated and knowledgeable in her field. My birth plan changed in the last few weeks of pregnancy due to my baby being breech and I ended up needing a c-section. Lacey was such a huge support in easing my anxiety as this plan threw me for a loop! During my c-section, Lacey was present in the OR and helped to keep me calm while my husband was with our baby at the warming station. Also, she took incredible birth photos of such intimate moments that I wouldn't have had without her. After my birth, she came to our home 2x to help with lactation and she really provided me with the confidence I needed as I began this journey of motherhood. She also provided me with 2 homemade essential oil rollers that I used daily! Even though our time is officially over, I know I could reach out to her with any questions if I needed support. I truly couldn't recommend Lacey more. I cannot imagine my birth story without her. Thank you, Lacey, for all you've done for us!

We are so thankful to have had Lacey present with us during our labor and delivery. She is calm, confident and encouraging throughout the entire process- and let me stress -it was a process! We chose to deliver at a hospital, and having her there was so reassuring as this was our first baby. She aided in so many position changes throughout the day as it was my desire to have a unmedicated labor and delivery, she helped my husband and I understand advice given by the medical staff. I’m so sad that we are moving out state, otherwise I would 100% want her with us again if we are blessed with more children.

Lacey was a dream to work with. Her calm demeanor, enthusiastic energy, and strong faith in the Lord made all the difference for the birth of my daughter. I absolutely would recommend Lacey to anyone looking to have a powerful woman in their corner.
