Hi everyone! I’m Lauren, a birth, bereavement and postpartum support doula based near Elizabethtown Kentucky. I became passionate about Birth about three years ago when I found out that I was pregnant with my daughter. As a first time mom with a medical condition that prevented me from having an epidural, I took a deep dive into all things unmedicated birth. I took the Pain Free Birth course with Karen Welton, I learned breathing exercises, had countless conversations with my husband about my wishes & really did everything I felt that I could to prepare for my birth. I fired my OB at 28 weeks and joined a midwifery practice based out of Charleston South Carolina and went on to have a beautifully unmedicated water birth after a 32 hour long labor. I gave birth to a healthy 8lbs baby girl and have been breastfeeding her successfully for over two years. My passion lies heavily in unmedicated births and breastfeeding but I serve as an advocate for mothers of all kinds and help them to achieve their dream birth and postpartum season. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I would be more than happy to help in whatever way I can. Blessings to all.
