Hi! My name is Lauren. I have been happily married since 2012. God blessed us with five beautiful children, three boys and two girls. My husband and I are both percussionists and that is how we met! We own a landscape company called Daddy Lawn Care. Our three boys are homeschooled (8 th grade, 5 th grade, and preschool). We chose to homeschool because we want to spend more time as a family, teach our kids how to be compassionate people, have good work ethic, and to instill our faith in them.
My whole life, I wanted to have kids and be a mom. Being number four out of five kids and the last three being born in birthing centers, that is how I envisioned having my own kids. My first two boys were born in a hospital up in Michigan because we did not have midwives in our area. After we moved back to Florida, our third son was born at home in the birthing pool. Finally, what I always wanted! I then had my daughter sixteen months later the same way. My fifth baby, our newest little girl, was born at a birthing center in the pool. She was breech until 37 weeks when she flipped on her own. At 39 weeks, I noticed she had flipped back! I went in for an emergency ECV at 39+4 and had her turned. I went to the birthing center at midnight to have labor started and had her that morning! What an experience every labor is!
“When a woman is in labor, she is in anguish because her hour has arrived; but when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the pain because of her joy that a child has been born into the world.” - John 16:21
After my experience with my first labor and birth, I felt the desire to help other moms. It was not until after having my third son that I took the leap to become a doula. I am a Certified Birth Doula (CD), Certified Postpartum Doula (CPD), Certified Breastfeeding Counselor (CBC), and a Certified Childbirth Educator (CCE) through International Doula Institute (IDI). I love supporting other moms and helping them know their own strength. Understanding that labor is unpredictable, I want to help moms feel confident in their decisions and to see the beauty in their unique story. I started Dedicated Doulas to have a team of like-minded doulas to help and support our clients as well as each other! Our clients have a choice in who they would like to be their doula. We also joined the Space Coast Doulas because it is a wonderful group of women and support!
“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers… strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength,” – Barbara Katz Rothman
I would love to meet with you and discuss how I can help and serve you. Text or call anytime!
