About me
Hi, I'm LaVerne, also known as the Baby Whisperer and I've been a doula for almost ten years. My work centers on creating a calm, nurturing environment where families can truly thrive during pregnancy, birth, and those busy early weeks. I support mothers through the full spectrum of their journey, from birth preparation and labor support to postpartum recovery, both mentally, emotionally, and physically. During birth, I serve as a steady presence, offering comfort measures, encouragement, and advocacy so you can have the empowering experience you envision. In the postpartum period, I'm deeply attuned to babies' cues, cries, and signals, and I provide hands-on care including household tasks, feeding, diapering, bathing, sleep coaching, & meal prep for mom. I specialize in evening/overnight care and work with a team of loving, certified and background checked doulas.

Service introduction
I offer daytime and overnight support for households with new babies. Care includes prioritizing mom‘s mental and physical healing (nutrient dense foods, teas, wound care, belly binding, rub downs, sitz baths, and holding space). I also help parents understand their newborns through newborn education, breast-feeding and latching support, and intuitive parenting. Total care includes changing diapers, feeding or bringing baby to mommy to nurse, pumping support and milk storage, baby laundry, nursing organization, and household tasks. I’d love to talk to you about how my team and I can support your individual needs.
Ratings and reviews
My wife and I really enjoyed working with Lavi. I reached out to her because my wife was very overwhelmed and I was about to return back to work. She came in our household and really helped my wife find peace. She helped our baby fall asleep on a schedule (which she is still on), she always made sure my wife had something to eat, every time I came home from work my wife was very relaxed and I learned a lot about how I can help. I think she made a huge difference in our lives and I’m very glad that she was able to support us.
