Doula Client Testimonials

“I can’t say enough how much I would recommend working with Laura!"

— Emily

"I am excited to recommend Laura to all the pregnant people I encounter in the Upper Valley!"

— Laura

"Laura’s professionalism, warmth, and friendliness made her an invaluable resource for us at our daughter’s birth.”

— Alexandra

"Working with Laura through the prenatal, birth, and postpartum period was amazing. When my wife was in labor and Laura arrived at the hospital to support us, my wife and I felt like a great weight was lifted. Laura came to understand us so well in our two prenatal visits that the support she provided to us during and after labor was better than I could have imagined."

— Michael (partner)

"Laura was absolutely amazing! I would recommend her doula services to anyone, hands down. And we very much hope to use her again if we have a second child!"

— Sam + Nate

"The moment I met Laura I knew she was the Doula I needed to have with me during my pregnancy and labor. I immediately felt a connection to her and sensed a genuine, thoughtful and well informed person. Having a doula for me not only gave me a support person before and through such a huge moment in life but also now a friend. Laura truly was the best person for our family and we are so grateful to have had her there with us."

— Rebecca + Chris

"This was our third child and first time with a Doula and it was so worth it. Laura worked perfectly for what we needed. She was supportive, helped us talk through decisions, but also didn’t make us feel any pressure to make a specific decision. Being a partner, it was great having the support during the stressful times and a second set of hands that knew different techniques. Very professional, but also caring and easy to work with. Would recommend Laura to any one having a child."

— Dan (partner)

“We loved working with Laura! She was so comforting to us during a time that was very story for us, going into a birth after having a traumatic experience with our first. It made such a huge difference to us and our family to have Laura as our doula.”

— Sarah + Whit

“Laura is a caring, informed, and wonderfully supportive doula. My partner and I so appreciated the way she listened to our concerns, the space she created for us during the labor, and her subsequent follow-up visits. We’re grateful to have had her love and expertise during our birth journey.”

— Libby + Brad

"I knew I wanted to hire a doula for my first childbirth experience for support navigating the birthing process, as well as a bit of past trauma-related hospital anxiety. But, my husband and I didn't *really* know what we were looking for until we found Laura! We interviewed a few doulas, ranging from spiritual/woo-woo to very process-oriented. Laura stood out to us as the perfect balance of the two, as someone who appreciates and can speak to research and also will lean into more holistic practices like breath work and acupressure. We met 2x with Laura IRL prior to the birth and she was also very available to us via text for updates/questions/reassurance. She helped us know what conversations to have as a duo, what to think about for myself, and how to build a birth plan together.”

— Emma + Alex

"It is hard to put into words how much working with Laura improved our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. More than anything, we just feel so lucky to have had her support during this life changing experience. I think everyone should have a doula - doula care makes this amazing, challenging time so much easier and happier. But I think Laura specifically is an incredible gem of a doula - I can’t imagine a personality better suited to the role. She is warm, compassionate, thoughtful and exactly the person I needed caring for me during birth.”

— Karina + John

"We absolutely loved having Laura with us as our doula for the birth of our second child. We felt so seen, heard, and held. We also really appreciated the thoughtful work she did with us prenatally to process our prior birth experience as we prepared for our next birth. Laura has a deep knowledge of the whole scope of doula care and always offered her expertise in the kindest ways. I can't recommend her highly enough and will be clamoring to work with her again if/when our family grows."

— Elizabeth + Adrian

"Laura was absolutely amazing to work with and provided so much support both with knowledge and emotional balance. If anyone is thinking about working with a doula, reach out to Laura and just experience how wonderful she is for both the birthing and support partners."

— Sarah + CJ

We had a lot of unexpected things happen during labor and if Laura hadn't been there with her knowledge of what we wanted and what is or should be standard practice we would not have had the same experience. We truly would not have had the best under the circumstances birthing experience without Laura. We are telling everyone to use a doula for the continuity of support and their knowledge during a big life event.”

— Erin + Chris

She was so supportive of what I felt I needed to do for myself. I was pleasantly surprised that she was not opposed to me getting an epidural, in fact she was so supportive of it as she knew it was what I needed at the time.

— Kathryn

"For me, having a doula for my pregnancy, labor and birth made all the difference. As first time parents-to-be, my partner and I were privileged to have Laura as our doula. We were able to have the birth we wanted in part thanks to her support, coaching, and know-how. We felt empowered to do things our way and felt we were respected by our care providers. We would recommend Laura to anyone preparing for a birth!”

— Jane + David

ADVANCING LGBTQ+ INCLUSION IN SCHOOLS

“Laura’s training on gender inclusivity was one of the most impactful professional development sessions I’ve attended. She combined research, real-life stories, and concrete strategies, making complex issues both accessible and actionable. I walked away not only with a deeper understanding of the challenges LGBTQ+ students face but also with practical steps I could immediately implement to create a more inclusive and supportive classroom. Every educator should have the opportunity to learn from her.”
