Hello, I’m Lauren- a mother to two daughters and a holistic labor + traditional postpartum doula with an education focused on the Ayurvedic philosophy. I view pregnancy, birth, and the process of becoming a mother as not only a physical event; but a spiritual experience as well. In your most sacred spaces, I act as a gentle guide +space holder in pregnancy, labor, postpartum and beyond. Supporting mothers/families during their greatest transitions, and weaving in ritual+cereomy as a means to support and honor these initiations and grand transitions is a passion of mine. It is through my own difficult experiences with child birth and the Matrescence time, that I feel deeply called to give other mothers/families what I did not receive. It takes a village to raise a mother. None of us were meant to do this alone, nor should we have to!

As a midwife, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside many doulas, and Lauren stands out as truly exceptional. She brings a calm, grounded presence to every birth, with an intuitive sense of what is needed in each moment. Her gentle, steady voice and unwavering support help birthing people feel safe, seen, and empowered—no matter the setting. Her deep knowledge and experience make her an invaluable part of any birth team. She collaborates seamlessly with care providers and brings stamina, grace, and compassion to every stage of the journey. Her postpartum care is equally thoughtful, with a strong focus on holistic maternal healing, both physical and emotional. I recommend her without hesitation. She’s a rare and steady force in this work.

Jorie is a birth + postpartum doula and loves every moment of it. She’s certified through Birth Boot Camp and has also trained as a VBAC doula to support clients having a vaginal birth after cesarean. At the young age of 15, Jorie had the privilege of attending her first nephew's birth, an experience that ignited a deep-seated passion within her for supporting families during pregnancy and beyond. Once she experienced that birth, she continued to attend the rest of her nephews + nieces births and took to being the friend or sister who sat with loved ones in their postpartum days. She is known for her warmth, patience, and intuitive ability to learn and guide people in the newness of parenthood. Whether Jorie’s clients find themselves in the midst of labor or navigating the beautiful chaos of life with a newborn, she is there to walk alongside them every step of the way. With her training and hands-on life experience, Jorie’s aim is to cultivate a safe and nurturing environment where her clients feel empowered to make decisions that resonate with their unique journey. Beyond her doula duties, you’ll often find Jorie working on her hobbies and crafts, throwing on her pottery wheel or hanging with her family. She believes in finding joy in life's simple pleasures and cherishing every moment of the journey. She is deeply honored to accompany her clients on their path to parenthood, offering unwavering support, guidance, and a sprinkle of joy & laughter along the way!

I highly recommend Jorie as a doula, both for birth and postpartum! She is SO kind and caring. During birth, she’s an expert at knowing how to advocate for you, encourage you, and what comfort measures to use. Postpartum is also so much better with extra help! Jorie is the best, so thankful for her! :)

Hi! I’m Krysta. I’m a VBAC mama, birth doula, and motherhood photographer devoted to walking alongside women through their profound transition into motherhood. As a doula, I offer a calm, confident presence and holistic approach rooted in reverence for birth, current research, and trust in a mother’s intuition and strength. You don’t need to be saved or steered. You deserve someone to walk alongside you—celebrating your wins, supporting you through the tough spots, and offering reliable, evidence-based, autonomy-centered guidance and empowerment. My work as a motherhood photographer flows from that same reverence. Encapsulating the deep connections, raw emotions, and intimate beauty of your story in a way that transcends time. Whether I’m supporting your birth or documenting your journey, I offer presence, care, and connection every step of the way. Birth is unpredictable, but my support is not. “Modern obstetrics often centers around control, not trust. We speak of birth as something to get through instead of something to lean into. It’s a system that distrusts the natural rhythms of the body, replaces intuition with intervention, and calls it safety.”

I will treasure my photos forever! I’m obsessed! . She somehow captured the emotions of my experience with beautiful photos I will treasure forever. Krysta is so talented, I can’t recommend her enough!

I have always been passionate about birth work, but it wasn’t until I gave birth that I felt a desire to help other women. I felt alone for part of my labor and never want any woman to feel the way I did. Women deserve so much support and love during such a vulnerable and life changing moment in their lives. I will be your advocate and support you emotionally and physically during your labor and birth experience. I want you to have your dream birth and I know I can help make that happen for you, and alongside you each step of the way!

Pregnancy, birth, and babies...I love it all! I see the birth process as a huge opportunity for growth and healing. This is an opportunity for the birthing person to communicate with their body and find their own intuitive & unique way of birthing. This is not just a mother experience but a parent experience, I love getting the partners involved. I am also a massage therapists and birth photographer. Massage during labor can be so helpful and amazing and I love capturing the sweet moments between a couple and meeting your baby! One of my more recent educational experiences is Cranial Sacral Therapy for Infants. I love working with the babies!

Let me start by saying that I NEVER leave reviews unless I was really moved by something. Joleen is such an incredible doula, words can't express enough how much support she provided during my birth experience. She actually cares about her clients and the outcome they desire. I highly recommend having a doula who is also a massage therapist-- a damn good one at that-- I had extreme back labor and needed counter pressure every single contraction. She was with me for 9 or 10 hours and never gave up! She had me move into countless different positions to get my baby to move down and out, and I never felt like we ran out of things to try. My husband was skeptical of hiring a doula at first, but was so thankful that we had her help and that it wasn't all on him after it was all said and done. 😉 I attribute my going natural 100% on the team of people I had with me that day; I would have caved and got an epidural if it was just me and the hubby. My midwife was even complimenting her on how much she was doing to help me! Joleen's gentle guidance was everything. I highly recommend her to anyone who is going to give birth, but especially those who want to have a natural birth!! Having that extra support could really make or break your experience. ❤

Hi, I'm Hunter! Im 25 years old and a fierce advocate serving Salt Lake and Utah County. In doing research to prepare myself for future pregnancy I was faced with the sad reality that many people have entered the birth space uninformed and unsupported, with so many voices shouting at them about the "one right way" to give birth and be a parent. Only to leave the birth space scared, in pain, and often traumatized. This reality felt bleak to me so I began my journey learning how to provide advocacy, alignment, and assurance to my clients. I believe everyone should have access to emotional, physical and spiritual support while diving into labor and finding their inner power during birth.

I am a proud boy mom to three wonderful boys who will someday change the world. I am an Army Medic and EMT. I love helping people, but felt called to develop my passion for birth work after my second child was born in the height of COVID during an amazing home birth. I have learned that there is so much to be honored in pregnancy, the birthing space, and the postpartum period, and I love being able to help families feel empowered and supported during those transitions.

My name is Bailey Howell, and I am a certified Postpartum and Infant Care Doula, as well as a pre-certified Labor Doula! I recently graduated from Utah State with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies and realized that I have a huge passion for strengthening family relationships and bringing more joy into the home. Birth brings a substantial change to a family and my goal is to bring more education and support to new parents in order to make the transition to parenthood easier. I am so excited to work with families in Cache Valley!

Recent review

Bailey's services made a large impact in my mental and physical well being in early postpartum. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and I was not able to have assistance from family after the birth of my third baby. She was able to take care of things that I wasn't able to physically (errands, moving boxes, caring for my toddlers, etc). This allowed me to have the rest my body so desperately needed after my C-Section. She also assisted with meal preparation and I am still being blessed with these efforts months later. My children still ask when Bailey is coming to our home and I am grateful Bailey became part of my mothering village.

Hi there! I am a DONA trained birth doula and have also been working to help people through injuries and chronic pain as a professional massage therapist for over 12 years now. I gained a passion for birth while making birth plans and creating roles for my own birth team during the birthing chapter of my life with my four cherubs. I was able to birth in various settings. I am all about doing things your way. I believe a woman should strive to have the birth experience she desires. I believe in a well thought out birth plan and in a unified birth team. Though things don't always go just as planned, having one is very empowering. I also have really appreciated the births I have been in where the partner is a strong presence during the birth. The power of a unified couple is not to be diminished. If you choose me to assist your birth, I will be there to help educate, empower, advocate and help you and your partner have an unforgettable bonding experience with each other and your baby. Whether you have a desire to birth at home, at a birth center, in a hospital--with an epidural or hoping to go med free, I will support you in your goals, we will do it "your way".

Hello! I am a Certified Birth Doula serving families in Salt Lake and Utah counties. I am passionate about helping moms and their partners have the AMAZING birth experiences they deserve. I have always thought that pregnancy and birth are the most incredible things in the world. While battling infertility the last few years, I found myself feeling a lack of purpose in my life. This led me to birth work and becoming a birth doula. From the fascinating training to the first birth I attended, I knew this was the purpose I was looking for. I became a Birth Boot Camp Certified Birth Doula in January 2024. I passionately believe that every mom can and deserves to have a positive birth experience, whatever that looks like to her. I look forward to helping you achieve that!

Meredith is a certified birth doula, postpartum doula, certified women’s hormone specialist, cycle + fertility coach, menstruation educator, and mother to three amazing kids, ages 7, 5 and 3. She loves everything about the menstrual cycle–hormones, menstruation, fertility, birth, postpartum, and menopause. She loves teaching women (and families) how to use their cycle to balance their lives (and their hormones) and accomplish their goals for growing their family, or not. But Birth has a special place in Meredith’s heart. She came to birth work on a Thursday afternoon driving home from her Human Resources job. She was complaining about her job to her sister and her sister’s response was, “you should go be a Doula”. What’s a Doula? After her sister explained what a Doula does, a voice inside of her said, “I was born to do that”. She was in Doula training the next month and she has never looked back. She loves being with families and witnessing their growth and transformation as they move through the birth and postpartum process. Meredith excels at supporting families through natural/unmedicated birth both in and out of the hospital, and a lot of her clients have great results from her support in delaying medication so that it supports their labor rather than hinders it. Meredith is passionate about families knowing their options, preparing well, and tapping into the spiritual nature of the birth process to create an empowering experience. Additionally, she excels at assisting families to set up healthy rhythms for maximized nighttime sleep, feeding and bonding postpartum.

Meredith is an amazing doula! She assisted with our birth and my husband and I felt that we would have been lost without her. She maintained boundaries/wishes, was super knowledgeable and provided such a calming presence and emotional support! She had a great sense of humor and really added positivity to our birth experience.

Chelsea is an amazing Doula! She was with us for 20+ hours during the birth of our first son.

She was a calming presence in the room and provided so much peace, comfort, and encouragement. She is a gift and amazing! Highly recommend Chelsea for doula services as she is truly amazing - we would have been lost through the process without her!!

I’m a childbirth doula and registered nurse with an innate desire to support other women in the most beautiful and loving way possible. I have a medical background with a holistic mindset and desire that every woman have a nurturing and fulfilling birth and postpartum experience. I believe this is the most amazing work we can do as women….supporting others and having babies!

Recent review

Alyssa was the best birthing partner/assistant I could've hoped for. It was my first birth, and it was long (spanned over 3 days) and HARD. She was with me through the whole thing, and even came to some of my doctor's appointments with me. She taught my husband how to support me and they created the best team together. Alyssa used different modalities to help me feel comfortable. I especially liked the tens unit, counter pressure, and massage. I couldn't have survived as long as I did without those. Alyssa came weeks before my birthing time to help with any questions or concerns I had so that I felt prepared. I also felt more confident having her at the hospital because she is a nurse and knows how to advocate for her clients. And let me just throw this out there because I believe in honest reviews. Alyssa was affordable because she believes every woman should have the support they need. She went above and beyond what I ever expected. There are expensive doulas out there... a bigger price tag does not always mean quality. You will not regret having Alyssa as your doula.
