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.

Kylee was the most amazing doula I have ever had! I would pay her prices any day to have her! She was always so quick to answer any questions I had. The day of the labor she showed up so quick I couldn’t believe it! If I didn’t have her support during the labor I don’t know what I would have done. She helped me with counter pressure and tens unit that was a total game changer! I dilated all the way to a 7 with her help before I got the epidural! Her class was also the best! I’m so glad my husband and I could go together and feel so prepared for our labor. She was the best support and I felt instantly connected to her on our first intro call through zoom! Even though I didn’t know her that well I felt so comfortable around her! I would highly recommend Kylee and I tell all my pregnant friends about her and her class! Hypnobabies also really helped me have a great mind set for my labor!

My name is Jillian Cain and I am so excited to begin my journey as a postpartum doula. I hope to be able to support families in the Salt Lake City area, including as far east as Park City, Heber, Midway. I believe that postpartum care is just as much about caring for the mother as it is caring for the child. If the mother feels confident and supported, they are able to be more present and relaxed while supporting their new family member. Whether this is your first or third child, I believe a postpartum doula can help change the first 12 weeks after you give birth.

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.”

Hello, My name is Johanna and I am a certified postpartum doula and gentle sleep coach based in Daybreak, Utah! I love supporting families in their postpartum journey. I am happy to help wherever it is needed: caring for the birthing parent or the newborn, helping with older siblings, cooking, and overall helping you navigate life with a new baby! Moreover, I offer holistic sleep support that is tailored to your family. I don't work with any separation-based sleep training methods such as Ferber and CIO. Instead, we look for gentle and realistic ways to improve your baby's sleep. In addition to my trainings, I hold a master's degree in Psychology and am CPR/first aid certified. In my free time, I love to travel, read, do pilates, and do the crossword. I mainly serve clients in and around SLC but am open to travel assignments!

Johanna was our babysitter for our son Peter from 10 months until 2,5 y.o. And our daughter Clara from the first week to 5 months. Johanna is an amazing care taker, she is very knowledgeable and experience across all ages. She is very kind and loving with the kids, and can create a strong bound with them very quickly. She also know how to be strict and make sure that rules are being followed. We would also ask her for advice for sleep training as well as more little things like how to get our son be improve his skills with his balance bike. She always came up with great input and feedback. We all loved her dearly, she became a family member to us, and we hope you can now enjoy her service as much as we did.

Natalie is known as the child whisperer in our house. She started helping our family when our second child was three months old, guiding my husband and me as we adjusted to life with two kids. As our postpartum doula, she was an incredible support — especially since we were both working and our baby had trouble sleeping. Our first child had been an easy sleeper, so we had no idea what to do with a restless baby! Natalie was the only one who could calmly guide our baby to sleep, and she had such a natural way of connecting with our toddler. She also taught us new approaches to parenting that made our home more peaceful and our routines more manageable. I’ll be forever grateful for the time she spent with our family — even now, our toddler still asks when Natalie can come over to play. You should also know that Natalie takes initiative in the most thoughtful ways. She made our lives so much easier — preparing meals for the kids when I had forgotten to plan ahead (which was most days!) and quietly helping with little chores around the house without being asked. She’s truly amazing.

Hello! My name is Lavinia, and I’m a mother who has personally experienced the profound journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. After facing challenges such as preeclampsia and caring for a premature baby, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and mental needs that arise during this transformative time. These experiences have shaped my passion for supporting other parents as they navigate their unique journeys into parenthood. As a Doula, my philosophy revolves around providing compassionate, individualized care, ensuring that each family feels empowered, informed, and nurtured throughout the process. I believe in the power of holistic support—whether it’s offering emotional encouragement, practical assistance, or simply being a steady presence. My goal is to create a calm, supportive environment where both parents and babies feel safe and cared for, allowing families to thrive during the birthing experience and beyond.
