"Laura's Knowledge & Support Was Simply AMAZING!"
“Laura is one of the most kind, caring, bubbly, fun and overall incredible women I have ever met. I have had the pleasure of knowing Laura for more than 10 years, and while she was our Doula during my first pregnancy I was able to see her passion and love of helping others every step of the way. Throughout my pregnancy Laura took time to speak with my husband and I about all things pregnancy and delivery. She helped us talk through and create a birth plan and gave us resources to prepare for the journey. Although my delivery was an unplanned cesarean, Laura's knowledge and support throughout my 20+ hours of labor was simply AMAZING! Laura showed up for us how we needed. when she arrived she spoke with the hospital staff to understand my plan of care, when we needed a calming presence she was there, when we needed to laugh to lighten the mood she was there, when my husband needed to step away for coffee or rest she was there, when I needed to be reminded that I could do difficult things or a shoulder to cry on she was there!
Overall I had a wonderful experience with Laura and would recommend her to any pregnant mamma whether this is your first or last pregnancy, Laura truly is a remarkable Doula.”

"Laura Really Cares; A True Source of Comfort and Peace"
“Laura really cares! Her calm and empathetic presence were a true source of comfort and peace during delivery. She is competent, but also loves what she is doing, that’s why her support touches the heart. Laura was not only present during the time of delivery (which lasted 15 hours!) but also during my pregnancy. She was always ready to educate, guide, support, and visit, if need be, to make sure that my husband and I are confident of the process and encouraged. She is cheerful, friendly, and so genuine. Being from another culture, I experienced Laura’s cultural sensitivity in that she was able to connect with me and advocate for me in ways that transcended our cultural difference! If you are looking for a trustworthy, competent, and empathetic doula, Laura is surely who you are looking for!!”
