Your go to doula for the

birth bestie vibe with a

comforting, nurturing touch.

Hello! My name is Lauren.

I’m the birth and postpartum doula in Durham region who you can also find whipping up natural skincare products in my kitchen, making coffee for my community at my part time barista job, or sitting in the sun with my nose behind a good book.

Becoming a doula felt like stepping into a path that was already laid out for me. I always knew I would work with supporting women in some capacity. I have always felt a fierce protection for other women, and connected easily and deeply with the women in my life. Combined with my interest in herbal healing and natural remedies, my work with and love for children and babies, my need to feed everyone I love home cooked, nourishing meals, and my interest in birth & the medical system, I realized that I already was a doula, I just needed to take the leap onto the path. 

 Early in 2025, I completed a 10 day doula training retreat in Costa Rica, which was a beautiful way to begin my new career. In the past couple of years I have been amazed by the women I work with, the births I have experienced by their sides, and the cocoon of postpartum.

I believe that birth and postpartum are some of the most transformational and impactful moments of a woman’s life, and they deserve to be positive experiences. Feeling cared for, understood, nourished, and supported are essential in the journey from Maiden, to Mother (and from mother of one, to two, to three…). 

Every woman’s story is different, just as her birth is, and her mothering is. I know that every woman has everything she needs inside her, and so my job is to help create the space for her to flourish confidently in her journey, however that looks for her.

If you’re looking for a doula you want to feel cared for by, someone you feel comfortable texting “is this my mucous plug?,” and someone who who knows how important the little details are and takes care of them so you don’t have to (like LED candles at your birth and a warm cup of tea postpartum), then hello! 

Now, I’d love to hear a little bit about you. 

The next step

A few things you should know…

  • What led me to becoming a doula?

    Stepping into my career as a doula felt like putting all the puzzle pieces together and finally seeing the full picture. From my years spent nannying, to my interest in herbal healing and cooking, to my passion for connecting with and advocating for women; when all of these elements of myself came together as I researched what a doula was, I knew that this work was meant for me! On top of that, I always wanted to be a business owner. I could go on, there are so many little reasons for me to step into this path, but overall, I chalk it up to destiny! And I haven't looked back, since.

  • Where did I get my training?

    Through The Doula School (formerly known as Doula Canada), I completed a 10 day long in person training retreat in Costa Rica. This was one of the best experiences of my life, being surrounded by other women, incredible teachers, and in such a beautiful environment. I knew I wanted to learn in person, but this was beyond my expectations! I felt completely immersed in the material, made connections I will treasure for life, and learned from incredible teachers each with their own styles. 10/10 would recommend! From there, I completed the online material and certified as a Birth and Postpartum Doula. Since then I have completed a 20 hour Mexican rebozo workshop, and 8 hours of Spinning Babies training- I am always learning more!

  • Why Maiden and Mother?

    The journey into (and through) motherhood is one of the most impactful experiences of a woman’s life. From the archetype of the maiden, to the mother, this transition is rich with growth, learning, change, and wonder. I wanted to honour the woman in all her phases within my work, by creating space for her to carve out her own path within the transformation of motherhood. By giving attention and recognition to this process, encouraging space for integrating, healing, and sharing, as well as supporting every woman’s unique birth and postpartum experience, I value the becoming of a mother just as much as the beautiful birth of a baby.

  • Why choose me?

    You deserve to feel connected, understood, and safe during one of the most important moments of your life. I love building strong connections with my clients, taking the time truly understanding what they want and where they’re coming from, because this isn't just about your birth. This is about your transformation! I make sure my clients know I’m in their corner no matter what, supporting the ebb and flow of their process and decision making, and informing them with evidence based information and tips and tricks throughout the process, leading to an empowered and positive birth experience. 

    Empathy, positivity, connection, and information are the pillars of my work, and with these qualities at the forefront, you will safe and supported with my doula care from pregnancy to postpartum.

“I will never forget you by my side. I was so afraid of the system and giving birth, but you eased me and ensured a positive experience.

If anyone is considering a doula, I can attest it is the best thing you can do for yourself. I also recommend Lauren as she was the best support and gentle touch at birth. I can’t speak highly enough of her.” -M
