Hello Friend!

Hello Friend!

My name is Lauren and I am a holistic doula serving the South Austin to New Braunfels region. I offer support, advocacy, and education to mothers and partners looking to create their dream birth experience starting with pregnancy and birth, building a relationship to last a lifetime! I would love nothing more than to be another shoulder to lean on during this amazing life transition.

My passion to become a birthworker started with the breech birth of my first daughter. I dreamed of a natural birth at the local birth center, however the universe had other plans. At 37 weeks the midwife at my birth center started really pushing me to schedule a c section, painting a picture of how “lovely” a planned c section could be. Deep in my heart I knew that was not the path for myself or my baby. I was ultimately fired from my provider with little guidance at 38 weeks, and found a new provider who allowed me the space for my natural birth. My daughter was born butt first in perfect health in San Antonio, TX. Going through this taught me so much about a mother’s intuition, fueling my passion to support other mothers in their journey to empowered motherhood.

Previous to becoming a doula, I've dedicated 7 years in personal training with certification in pre and postnatal fitness. I have trained many body types in various stages of fitness and life, so I know the importance of meeting someone where they are. There is no “one size fits all” option in birth or fitness and with movement being so beneficial during pregnancy, I'll help you find a rhythm that works for you through the various stages.

I look forward to being at your side through everything this journey puts in your path, supporting you with different tools to care for yourself through pregnancy, advocacy for yourself in difficult moments, and reminders of strength as you move through birth and postpartum.
