As a first time mom, I had a huge fear of normal delivery. I honestly believed I would never be able to handle labour pain and always thought I’d go for a C-section just to avoid it. But when my OB explained the disadvantages of a c-section, I slowly prepared myself for a normal delivery- though deep down, that fear was still in the corner of my heart. That’s when I decided to reach out for doula support. I knew doulas are there to emotionally support us and stay by our side through that challenging yet beautiful moment. Another big reason was that my husband and I are the only two people here in Canada. We moved here around 2022 and don’t have any immediate family around. As first time parents, both being the only children in our families, we had zero experience with newborns. It was overwhelming at times, and we truly felt lost and alone. That’s why choosing doula support was one of the most incredible decisions I’ve made- and selecting Lauren was truly the best thing that happened to us From the beginning, Lauren was so professional, calm, and caring. She provided me with a lot of labour and postpartum knowledge, did her own research, and shared so many helpful exercise materials to prepare me for my delivery. Whenever I had questions, she responded promptly and explained everything clearly. On my labour day, when I called her, she arrived at the hospital within an hour- whichw as simply amazing. She came fully prepared with massage oil, a pain relief comb, snacks, calming music, soft lights, and so many thoughtful items to make the experience more comfortable. Her presence game me so much confidence to face labour. She even worked closely with my husband, guiding and coordinating everything during those long hours. Lauren went above and beyond- she took notes on every single detail of my labour and later created a beautiful report for me to keep. She also supported me in making important decisions throughout the process with such care and understanding. I am so grateful that I chose Lauren as my doula. Her guidance, encouragement, and knowledge made a world of difference during one of the most important moments of my life. She’s friendly, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend Lauren to any expecting mom looking for emotional support, confidence, and care throughout pregnancy, labour, and beyond.

I loved having Lauren in my home while I was newly postpartum. She is extremely friendly and supportive. Whether it was bringing me water while I was breastfeeding my son, grabbing groceries, cooking delicious and healthy food, or listening to my current struggles, she always made sure to put my needs first. I felt comfortable to ask her for help based on what I needed that day. I looked forward to her support every week and while I’m no longer newly postpartum, I will definitely be having her back to help me meal prep.

Having a doula is something I truly can’t explain, it’s something you have to experience for yourself. At first, I didn’t fully understand why I felt I needed a doula, but I knew I wanted someone like Lauren by my side. I tried explaining it to my husband, but he didn’t quite get it either. After giving birth, I can confidently say I would not have had such a positive unmedicated birth experience without Lauren. Even my husband was incredibly grateful that we decided to hire her as our birth doula, and my midwife commented on how amazing she was. Giving birth was the most vulnerable, painful, and blissful experience of my life. Lauren helped me feel supported, capable, and deeply grateful throughout the entire process. She also prepared me mentally and emotionally to navigate contractions unmedicated, which was absolutely priceless. If I have more babies in the future, I will without a doubt hire her again.

Having Lauren as my doula was one of the greatest blessings of my pregnancy and birth. From the start, her warmth, calm presence, and genuine care made me feel safe, supported, and heard. She came prepared for every visit, always made herself available, and went above and beyond to guide me with compassion and knowledge. When my husband, Zack, felt anxious about the birth, she took the time to connect with him privately, easing his fears and helping him feel confident in his role. When I faced discrimination from my initial midwife, Lauren stood firmly by my side, advocating for me, validating my feelings, and even accompanying me to an appointment, something far beyond what was expected of her. She created thoughtful worksheets to help me navigate decisions and mentally prepare for labour, and when my birth took an unexpected turn, she was my anchor. I will never forget her holding my hand, breathing with me, and cheering me on through every contraction and push. Though my birth unfolded differently than I had planned, it was everything I hoped it would be: empowering, supported, and full of love, thanks largely to Lauren’s incredible care.
