I am Full Spectrum Doula for three years striving to craft a practice in which I work with women during pregnancy to seek evidence-based information, and to feel capable, confident, and strong as consumers, as birthing women, and as life-givers. Regardless of their birth choices, these prenatal visits, as well as the additional communication during my clients’ pregnancies, have the potential to set women on a path of making their own decisions and trusting themselves throughout pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the postpartum period .As is so often the case with birth, things may go completely differently than envisioned. But with a strong foundation of trust in themselves, their bodies, and their supporting person going into labor, a doula can help support a woman to have a powerful birthing experience in which she is an active participant and the ultimate decision maker. How I show up for each woman in labor will be different, according to her personality, her needs, her desires, and the rest of her support team

My journey into birth work began eight years ago after the birth of my son and deepened through my experience as a gestational surrogate and, most recently, the birth of my daughter this past summer. Those journeys which were both beautiful and challenging, showed me the power of feeling seen and supported. My own doula’s care really inspired me to offer that same gift to others. I hold a Master’s in Counseling, am a National Certified Counselor, and am a Certified Doula through New Beginnings Doula Training. I’m currently pursuing my Licensed Professional Counselor credential and Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C). I also serve as a Specialized Support Coordinator for Postpartum Support International for birth trauma, where I connect families to resources for the postpartum journey including perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and birth trauma. To me, birth is a mind, body, and spiritual experience. My approach blends compassion, trauma-informed care, advocacy, and holistic practices to help you feel empowered and heard.

As a birth doula based in central NJ, my practice is influenced by my experience as a massage therapist for over 30 years. I have broad understanding of the physical challenges facing pregnant and postpartum individuals. I’m certified as Body Ready Method™ professional to address body alignment issues during pregnancy, which can result in a more optimal labor and birth. I also teach an in-person Body Ready Birth™ workshop for birthers and their partners to practice labor positions that can ease the baby’s journey through the pelvis. I prepare my clients with tools to calm their nervous system and release their fears using Hypnobirthing meditations and breathing techniques. As an integral part of the birth team, I provide educational resources, in-person prenatal/postpartum visits and compassionate care during active labor and birth.

You will have support from an experienced Doula to make sure your questions are answered and you have the tools you need to feel confident and empowered.

Hi families, my name is Lauren and I am the founder and owner of Birthing With LC, where I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based support to growing families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My passion for maternal health began after the birth of my first daughter in 2013, when my own transformative experience as a new mother inspired me to learn more about pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation. After welcoming three beautiful children while navigating the challenges of hyperemesis gravidarum, I developed a deep understanding of how important it is for families to receive unbiased, nurturing care. These experiences shaped my mission to ensure every family feels safe, informed, respected, and fully supported throughout their birthing journey. As a Certified Birth Doula, Certified Lactation Support Counselor, and Certified Body, Ready, Method® Professional, I empower families with the knowledge, confidence, and emotional support they need to approach birth with trust in themselves and their abilities. I believe every woman deserves to feel strong, capable, and heard, and I am committed to helping remove the fear that too often surrounds childbirth. When I’m not supporting families, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three children, training in the gym with my husband, continuing my education, and collaborating with fellow birth professionals to make a positive impact—one birth at a time.
