BIRTH SUPPORT
$1500
Serving sooke to victoria, Bc and surrounding area
As a woman and mother, I know firsthand how overwhelming the unknowns of birth and motherhood can be. It’s my goal that you move through your birth feeling informed, validated, and respected so your journey to motherhood starts from a strong and grounded place.
As a birth doula, I help you tune out the noise of conflicting information, family opinions, and social media messaging and tune into your true desires. Who are you as a woman? As a mother? What do you believe about birth? About your body? And how does this impact the ways in which you prepare for birth? We’ll go far beyond basic birth plans and utilize a blend of evidence-based resources, ancestral knowledge, somatic practices, and your own innate wisdom to help you birth in your way and on your terms.
Continuous and compassionate doula care for pregnancy, labour, and birth in Victoria, BC and beyond
BIRTH SUPPORT PACKAGE INCLUDES
2 in-person prenatal meetings to establish our relationship, share knowledge and resources, and prepare holistically for your birth
unlimited voice note and text support for the duration of your contract so you feel heard, seen, and held
access to a library of Nest & Nourish original e-books on topics you care about, like Birth & Postpartum Planning, Breastfeeding, Comfort Measures for Labour, and Newborn Care. They're like mini childbirth education classes!

Virtual somatic coaching sessions, if desired, to prepare your body, heart, and mind for birth and motherhood from a body based, trauma-informed, nervous system perspective
I’m here to offer gentle guidance through birth and the mainstream medical system with the practiced eyes of a nurse and the compassionate heart of a doula. I’m here to support you to make informed and nourishing decisions throughout your labour and birth. I’m here to be a witness, friend, confidante, teammate, and advocate.
I’m here for you.

Your well-nourished motherhood starts here
I can’t express enough how grateful I am for Lauren’s doula services. From the moment I decided to hire her around 34 weeks, I knew I had made the right decision. Her calming presence and unwavering support truly transformed my birth experience. Despite my birth plan not going as expected, Lauren ensured that I never felt judged or unsupported. Instead, I felt empowered, heard, and completely taken care of every step of the way.

From the moment I met Lauren, I felt like I was talking to a dear friend. I immediately felt comfortable and supported as we explored topics like matrescence, boundary work, and partner dynamics after having a child. Our conversations became a lifeline for me during a particularly complicated postpartum period. I felt safe enough to leave my baby for a few hours to attend much-needed pelvic floor physiotherapy and other aftercare, thanks to Lauren’s nursing background. It was truly a privilege to be held by someone so passionate, knowledgeable, and kind.
