Service introduction
Congratulations! This is such a powerful and life-changing season. My name is Lori, and I bring over 45 years of experience as a Labor & Delivery and Pediatric Newborn Registered Nurse. After a long and fulfilling career in the hospital setting, I now offer private postpartum doula support for families who want a higher level of care, guidance, and peace of mind during their transition home. Having supported thousands of mothers and newborns, I provide a unique level of insight that blends clinical expertise with calm, intuitive care. I understand not only what is “normal,” but what truly needs attention; allowing you to feel safe, supported, and confident without second-guessing yourself. My role is to ensure your recovery is protected, your baby is thriving, and you feel grounded in your new rhythm. Whether it’s hands-on newborn care, feeding support, or simply creating a calm and nurturing environment, I meet you where you are with steady, experienced guidance. Families who choose to work with me are often looking for more than just help; they want reassurance, expertise, and a trusted presence during one of the most important transitions of their lives. I offer postpartum, birth, and lactation support, along with complimentary consultations to explore how I can best support your family in a way that feels aligned and personalized. If this level of care speaks to you, I would be honored to support you. Please feel free to reach out anytime to connect.

Ratings and reviews
Having Lori as my doula completely changed my labor experience. I had 2 kids prior to finding Lori and she took care of me in every way possible. She made sure to understand my wants and needs before the big day came. She taught me some breathing techniques and how to relax the body. She was very detailed in her lessons, extremely sweet and caring. She treated my family as her own. When the big day came, Lori made sure that not only I was taken care of but my husband as well. I describe my labor experience as a day at the spa. We had music, dimmed lights, massages with essential oils and snacks. She made sure I was comfortable the whole time as well as my husband. She allowed my husband and I to experience the beauty of bringing a child into this world without all the stress of making sure my decisions with my labor was being honored. She not only held the doctors and nurses accountable but she did the same to me with having my child naturally. She brought scripture to me that my husband would read to me which gave me the strength to get through it even when it was too hard and I wanted to give up. Even after the baby was here, lori made sure I was taken care of. She came to my home, allowed me to rest and helped with my daily routine so nothing fell through the cracks. She truly took care of me and my family. I will definitely use Lori again as my doula.
