Wholistic Women’s Healthcare

I was so fortunate to have Lauren as midwife for my recent homebirth! She was absolutely wonderful throughout my prenatal care and always available when I needed her. I instantly felt comfortable and calm with her, she just has that kind of personality… makes you feel important, heard, and more like a trusted friend!
Our homebirth went absolutely amazing, honestly I couldn’t have wished for a more spectacular birth team. Her and her assistant, Mel, held our birth space with so much love and respect, allowing my husband, daughter, and I to really have our own experience and were there to witness and support and encourage us through it all. I really just don’t even have enough wonderful words for them! So so blessed to have had them as part of our sacred birth experience and I am so glad to have made some lovely friends along the way. Lauren will –without a doubt– be our midwife for our next birth!

I cannot say enough nice things about Lauren. Her demeanor is absolutely lovely and gentle, but she is also wealth of knowledge and very skilled. She provided all of my prenatal care, attended my birth, and provided postpartum care as well. She always spent a generous amount of time with me, not only discussing clinical information, but making sure to establish a trusting relationship through providng emotional support as well. Lauren is genuine and kind and passionate about her work. She practices evidence based care and always provides informed consent. Her presence at my birth was confident, but so peaceful and supportive. I am so grateful to her for providing top notch care for me and my family so that we could have the most beautiful, peaceful, dreamy homebirth. If you are looking for a loveable midwife who also has mad skills, she’s your girl. I want to have more babies just so she can be my midwife again ;)

Lauren is amazing and inspirational! My husband and I were incredibly blessed to have her at our home birth and hospital birth. To start with she rushed over to our house on minimal sleep, having just attended a long overnight birth, she somehow had the energy to be fully present with us. She exuded a glowing confidence that, without saying anything at all, washed over me completely. She was instrumental in our perseverance of 36 hours of labor at home as well as with the decision to transfer (baby was posterior with his hands up around his face). We had tried everything the midwives could think of to change his position manually. Once at the hospital she stayed on top of sticking to our birth plan as much as possible, to the point of feeding me spoonful after spoonful of ice chips because the nurses were worried of a fever. I did not end up with a fever. She stayed right by my side through 2 ½ hours of pushing and once our beautiful boy was born, she helped me control my bleeding by saying, «You just have to turn off the faucet now.» With those words I was able to visualize what I needed to do and within a minute my bleeding slowed. As I floated slowly out of the haze that is laborland, I realized I had a tight grip around her waist with a fistful of her shirt. Ha! I had no clue how long I had been locked like that. Not only had she been an essential emotional support, but she had also become a strong physical support! My husband and I are planning to have more kids (not right away though!) and we can’t imagine our future births without her!
