Do yourself a huge favor and hire Laura! We recently had our first baby and to be honest, I questioned the value of a Doula, and then I wondered what if I have an emergency c section do they still add value? Well, then I met Laura and hiring her was the best birthing decision we could have made! Laura is not only an incredibly skilled Doula, but she was so calm, kind, and supportive. She respected my birth plan, helped me stick to it, but also supported me when I had to stray away from it. Laura advocated for me in ways I did not even know I needed advocating while in labor at the hospital. I was

I had a wonderful experience with Laura. She is super friendly and always available to help. Her customized exercise during my pregnancy not only helped me to keep active but also increased my core strength and helped to control my gestational diabetes . The best thing about her is that she takes your feedback and customize exercise as needed. Her proactive commitment towards her clients is really commendable. I highly recommend her and you will also have great experience with her as I had. Thank you so much Laura for making my second pregnancy an enjoyable experience by keeping me active.

Working with Laura on my postpartum journey has been smooth and very productive for my C-section healing and health overall. Her exercise routines are simple yet effective. It may seem easy at first but trust me, they are working! She is a very good resource if someone is looking for a personal trainer.

Laura is an amazing doula! She comes to the table with tons of knowledge, care, and professionalism. I recently had my first child and used her during and after my pregnancy for both training and doula services. Leading up to my birth she helped keep me in shape and prep my body for labor. She also worked with me postpartum to help me recover and continue to build strength to support myself and my daughter. As a doula she ensured my husband and I were ready for the birthing experience, and during my labor and birth she was there to physically and emotionally support us. If you are looking for a

Having Laura support us during the birth of our daughter was hands down the best decision we've ever made! Laura is extremely knowledgeable and professional, but was also incredibly emotionally supportive and caring. Laura knew exactly what was needed every step of the way! She offers the perfect balance of pragmatic advice and empathic comfort and encouragement. She was able to provide guidance to help move the baby into the optimal position during early labor at home and offered hands-on and verbal support to help ease the contractions. Her doula bag is well stocked with everything from a TENS
