Have the birth you want with the support of a doula

Studies show that women who have the support of a doula during labor report more positive birth experiences, have shorter labors, are less likely to have a cesarean - just to name a few of the benefits.

 

Prepare for labor with body balancing sessions

Pregnancy and birth are immense physiological processes that, ideally, should be specifically supported rather than simply modifying one’s regular routine. As a certified Body Ready Method pro®, I use a 5-pillar method to help pregnant women achieve balanced strength and mobility in order to not only minimize aches, pains, and dysfunction, but to also support a more efficient birthing process.

Childbirth and labor-prep classes

Often a reason women are fearful of labor is because so much of the process is unknown. Learning about labor can pull back the veil and reveal that childbirth, when understood and prepared for, can be an amazing experience. Lauren teaches two different workshops - Labor Essentials and Body Ready Birth - to set families up for success in their pursuit of a joyful birth.
