Hello and welcome! My name is Laurynn Howard. I am a birthkeeper serving families in Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas. I offer antenatal support through various services including birth and postpartum doula, birth planning, lactation support, and placenta encapsulation. I am happily married to my other half, Colin, and have a sweet daughter, Olive, born at Natural Beginnings Birth Center in Statesville on April 30th, 2023. The birth of my daughter opened doors in my soul that I didn’t know existed, and in response, I have developed an extreme passion for helping women and their families feel empowered, safe, and nurtured during birth. Whether you have had previous birth trauma, you want to achieve your first homebirth, or you want to birth in the hospital, my goal is to have you leaving your experience feeling powerful, happy, accomplished, and that you had a voice that was heard and respected by your provider. I want to set you and your partner up with the tools to take charge of — and ENJOY — your birth as well as provide a space in which you feel the most loved and comfortable to welcome your newest blessing to the world. I’m beyond excited to connect with you, hear your story, and find out more about your desires for your birth!

I offer holistic birth doula, sibling doula, postpartum doula, and online birth planning packages as well as placenta encapsulation and a la carte services (pre-natal appointments, belly massage, etc) for a personalized experience.
My experience with Laurynn Howard as a doula was amazing! She's very versatile and will help elevate and make any experience you choose to take perfect. She's open and non judgmental towards how you want your birth experience to be natural, medicated, home birth, hospital, etc. She will be there for you and help you through it all even after the birth! She’s very worth it for her pricing. She's very dedicated and enjoys helping people bring precious babies into the world. Absolutely love and recommend her as a doula for any mommy to be she's amazing!

Gosh what to even say about Laurynn…. She is truly a God send. She is everything and more you could ever ask for in a doula and FRIEND. Not only is she meant for this work but she becomes that friend you have prayed for your whole life. She will always be there when you need her. She is so passionate for this work and was truly born to support and educate in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. The birth community became a better place when Laurynn joined! You need her for your journey to parenthood!
