For the big night,
and all the sleepless
ones after.
Unmedicated
birth
support
& overnight
help for
twin families in YYC.
I’ll do the hip squeezes. You do the birthing.
I’m Lauren, a doula in Calgary. I love physiological birth, and I’m just as comfortable in a hospital room as I am in your living room. My approach is holistic, but I’m also a very practical person, so you’ll get a lot of hands-on help: positions, pressure, and plenty of ideas when labour gets intense, & I’ll look after your partner too.
I’m trained in VBAC support, lactation, hypnosis for birth, and NICU care, so I stay calm when things go differently than planned, as birth often does. One thing I believe deeply: you can’t control birth, you can only navigate it. The goal is to have a baby, not to perform birth a certain way. I’ll share what I know, and the choices are always yours.
I work alongside your midwife or OB, never instead of them, and I’m there afterwards to make sure you feel comfortable and confident feeding your baby.
Where I come in.
-
Birth at home
I help you through contractions with positions, pressure, and encouragement, and I’m with you from early labour until your baby arrives.
-
Birth in hospital
Yes, you can have an unmedicated hospital birth. I’ll help you cope, keep communication easy with your care team, and keep the room feeling calm.
-
Postpartum nights
Picture a full night of sleep. I take the 2 AM wake-ups and the 4 AM cries, and you wake up feeling like a person again. Twins? Even better.
Something pulling you closer?
