Hi there! I am Lauren, Dar la Luz Doula, student midwife and Licensed Midwife Apprentice.
Would you like to enjoy a healthier, happier, more peaceful pregnancy and birth experience?
Is having your partner present and helpful during your delivery important to you both?
Would you like to avoid unnecessary medical interventions if possible?
Would you like to have an advocate, a source of encouragement and comfort during your pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum?
I would be honored to support you and your family during this wonderful, powerful, life changing time. I would love to share with you how you can plan and prepare for the birth you desire! 
A child being born; another soul added to this world is a gift and a miracle.

"Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward..."-Psalm127:3

All About Waves of Mercy Doula Services

My Story

As a mother of 4 children (all delivered drug free with 3 home births), I have firsthand experience of the joys and struggles of pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postnatal care.

I offer personalized birthing support not only to you but also to your partner. My goal is to give you and your family the attention, recourses and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your pregnancy, delivery and postpartum planning.

I honor and support many different types of birth and pregnancy outcomes including but not limited to miscarriage, life-limiting diagnoses, gestational diabetes, and mothers with PTSD.

I love learning all I can about birthing, and I am a firm believer that birth is not a one-size fits all life event.

If you are interested in how I could come alongside you, let's get together and talk about your hopes and dreams for your birth experience over coffee or tea!
