I spend my days with plants, growing food as an organic farmer living with my chosen family in West Bend. I have a deep relationship with the earth and am always looking for ways to learn more about how the earth gives us what we need.

I’m currently booking clients from November 2022 through January 2023.

“I couldn’t be more grateful for Lauren’s presence and support during my birth. Having her as my doula gave my husband and me a strong sense of peace that what we wanted and needed would be understood, encouraged, and advocated for. She asked great questions throughout the pregnancy in preparation, helped us put our birth plan on paper, and was a grounded, informed, and safe confidant. During labor she worked tirelessly to help keep me hydrated, moving as needed and even made it possible for my husband to sleep. I couldn’t imagine doing it without her and would definitely hire her back if we have another child.” -Rox, Former Client
