Happy to have you here,
Lauren Robson
Certified birth and postpartum doula, lactation educator, maternal mental health advocate
My journey into doula work began after the birth of my daughter in 2019. As a first-time mom, I found myself with unanswered questions, and the rushed appointments with my doctors left me feeling unsupported. My husband and I turned to Google for answers, only to find ourselves overwhelmed with information, which caused anxiety. The lack of personalized care during my postpartum period further emphasized the need for comprehensive support beyond the standard 6-week checkup.
Since then, my goal has been to ensure mothers feel informed and supported throughout their pregnancies and postpartum journeys. Every time I have the privilege of assisting a mother, it reinforces my belief in the profound impact of a doula’s job.
"Just as a women's heart knows how and when to pump, her lungs to inhale, and her hand to pull back from fire, so she knows when and how to give birth."
