I'm Lauren, a birth doula and photographer based in Milwaukie, Oregon, just outside of Portland. I grew up in Delaware, but have lived on the West Coast since 2017. I am a mom to one child, two dogs, and a cat. I love reading, getting outside, and exploring new cities. I love trying out new hobbies: currently, I'm learning how to crochet! I trained through Doula Love Portland's DONA International and OHA Approved program. My practice is trauma-informed, inclusive, and evidence-based. I honor all paths to parenthood and believe that every person deserves compassionate, culturally responsive care during their most vulnerable moments. I believe birth is not just a beginning. It is a continuation of a lineage - of wisdom, of strength, of becoming. I am here to hold space for you to make your own choices while feeling supported, safe, and seen.

As a first time mom, I was searching for someone who could be an advocate for my husband and I. Someone who could guide us through the birthing process and the many decisions that came with it in a moment of high emotion. Lauren was the calming and sound voice of reason and compassion that we needed. In the prenatal period she patiently answered all my questions, and even sent me literature on things we discussed for further research. Together, we built my ideal birth plan, and she created an easy to follow worksheet that I could reference and bring with me to the hospital. When the time finally came, and the birth plan completely derailed, Lauren remained calm and was there every step of the way. During an extremely long and exhausting labor process, Lauren was there providing support through suggestions, positioning, counter pressure, etc. And with every change in the birth plan and decision that came along the way, Lauren helped us understand our options and gave me peace of mind that every decision made was founded in fact and not emotion. From an emotional standpoint, Lauren also kept reminding me that I was one step closer to meeting my baby. This also helped calm my anxious mind as things progressed. After an unexpected C-section, we finally held our baby, and though things did not go as planned, we took solace in knowing that we made the best choices for our family. I cannot thank Lauren enough for the support she provided, and can't imagine how my husband and I would have dealt with the situation without her. If you are a first time mom, or even a second or third, I highly recommend her and her doula services!

I had the pleasure of working with Lorrie as my doula for the birth of my first child, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the start, she put my mind at ease, building my confidence through her deep knowledge of the birthing process. She helped me navigate my options to create a flexible birth plan that felt exactly right for me. Our weekly virtual prenatal yoga sessions were a lifesaver—not only for stress reduction but for mental preparation. Lorrie tailored every pose to my needs and taught me breathing techniques that became essential during labor. She even prepared my support team so they knew exactly how to show up for me. My goal was to labor at home as long as possible. Thanks to Lorrie’s calm guidance through intense contractions, I arrived at the hospital 8cm dilated! Even when things took an unexpected turn resulting in an emergency C-section and a NICU stay, Lorrie stayed by my side. She gave me the tools to advocate for myself and provided constant encouragement during a difficult time. Lorrie provides holistic, culturally appropriate care that every birthing person deserves. I’m now a healthy mama to a healthy baby boy, and I can't wait to have her support me again for my next child.
