About Lauran
Lauran is a certified birth and postpartum doula. She offers compassionate, evidence-based care to all clients because she believes that every new parent deserves to feel seen and heard during the life transition into parenthood
Lauran became a doula in 2021 after she experienced two very different births of her own. She is a mother to 2 girls. She loves to read, bake, and get outside with the family.
Hi, I am Lauran! My passion has always been helping families thrive which is what led me to pursue a Bachelor's of Science in Child and Family Development. I have two precious daughters that arrived by drastically different birthing experiences. My first pregnancy led to a fascination with pregnancy and birthing but it was after witnessing the birth of my niece that I knew I had found my calling. I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to all clients because I believe that every new parent deserves to feel seen and heard during the life transition into parenthood.
I provide services to families in the Northwest Metro Atlanta area, including but not limited to, Atlanta, Decatur, Marietta, Woodstock, Canton, Holly Springs, Cartersville, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, Powder Springs, Kennesaw and Smyrna. My services are available to those birthing in hospitals, birth centers or home births attended by a trained midwife. I am an LGBTQ+ friendly birth provider welcoming parents of all races, religions and non-religious backgrounds.
Client testimonial:
“Throughout my contractions (when I was 8cm+), she was there comforting me. She never left my side. She provided water throughout my labor and delivery, placed cool towels on my neck, massaged my back, affirmed me with words, helped with my breathing, etc. I know that her affirmations and support helped me to have a peaceful birth (unmedicated, waterbirth) in a short period of time. (The nurses were impressed with how I handled everything). Words can't really express how appreciative I am.
After birth, she was there with me in the hospital making sure my needs and desires were met. She helped me with my latch and anything else I needed!! It was just a beautiful experience and I'm so grateful that our paths crossed.
If you're looking for a great doula, please contact Lauran. You will not be disappointed!” ~ Sara S.
