“I was calm, ready and prepared. Lauren listened to my questions, but she heard what I didn’t say. she noticed when i was uneasy and she allowed me grace and space to process my feelings. my birth plan had detours and caveats. we knew what options we had because of our childbirth education class with lauren.”
“with a HIGH-RISK pregnancy, we relied on our doula to translate and form our questions for all of our doctors. lauren made sure we were ready for EMERGENCIES AND educated us about the nicu. this made a stressful day less anxious, and she helped us coordinate logistics at home for our toddler.”
