Soothing Presence Birth Services

Hello! My name is Laura, I am a certified labor and birth doula who has been fascinated by the miracle of pregnancy and birth from a very young age. I fell in love with birth work when I joined the UNMH Birth Companion program as a volunteer doula, where I supported a variety of births, including both medicated and unmedicated. Whether this is your first or fifth birth, my passion lies with being there to help you have the best experience possible. As your doula, I will provide judgement free support through education that will help guide you through your pregnancy and empower you to make informed decisions. I will also equip you with all the tools necessary to manage your labor and the birth of your baby, such as relaxation techniques, comfort measures and breathing exercises. My goal is to bring peace and tranquility to your birth space helping you to feel safe and cared for. When I’m not spending time with my family and friends, I enjoy tending my beautiful rose garden, going for long walks with my pooch and curling up with a good book! I look forward to serving you on this journey of physical, emotional and educational empowerment!
