About Laurynn

I am so happy you are here! My name is Laurynn. I am a birthkeeper and student midwife serving families in DFW 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 daughter, Olive, born at Natural Beginnings Birth Center in 2023 as well as a son, Finn, born at home this past September. I believe that birth is a sacred rite of passage to be respected and honored, I encourage and love the inner wild woman in her most vulnerable space, and I believe in the innate ability and intuitive nature of her body and her baby during the whole process. The birth of my daughter and son have 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!

Laurynn was great! She made my husband and I feel so much better about the birthing process in the weeks leading up to my labor. She was so knowledgeable and we learned so much from her. I opted for a hospital birth and really wanted someone there to advocate for me, and Laurynn did not let us down. At first my husband did not understand why I wanted a doula, but afterwards, he couldn't stop raving about how it was the best money we spent. It was great for him to have someone there supporting both him and I through the process, and it made it a lot less stressful for him. I credit Laurynn to my smooth labor and delivery, and was so grateful for her. She made me feel as comfortable as possible during my labor, and fought for us to try more natural interventions rather than opting for the hospital interventions, and her bag of tricks worked wonders. I'm so grateful for her, and would definitely recommend her to any expecting mothers! I can't wait to use her next time around for my home birth!

Laurynn was an amazing doula, friend and absolute rock for me during my whole pregnancy, labor and birth. She was there for me every step of the way and I would recommend her over and over again. Her calm presence and warm energy makes it feel like you have your bestest friend in your corner. Through every question during pregnancy to every contraction during labor, she was incredible and reassuring. There's no one else I would rather have with me during my birth. Laurynn was a big part of my small birth team and made bringing my first baby at home a magical experience. Laurynn will not only be your doula and your advocate, but she will become a friend for life! Best. Doula. Ever!

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for having Laurynn by my side throughout my birth experience. From the moment we first met, her warmth, kindness, and deep care for both me and my family were evident. She wasn’t just a doula; she became an integral part of our journey, providing support, education, and love every step of the way. Laurynn advocated for me when I needed it most, ensuring that my voice was heard, and I felt empowered to make the best decisions for myself and my baby. Her presence was not only a source of strength for me but also for my husband, who benefited greatly from her guidance and reassurance. With Laurynn’s help, I was able to achieve the unmedicated birth I had always hoped for, and it was truly a beautiful and empowering experience. I couldn’t have done it without her. She is more than just a doula; she is a gift, and we are forever thankful for her unwavering dedication and love
