Prenatal Yoga, Wellness, and Doula Services
"Birth is not only about making babies. It's about making mothers—strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and believe in their inner strength.
Whenever and however you give birth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, and your spirt for the rest of your life” -Ina May Gaskin
You deserve to feel supported, empowered, and your best during such a sacred and transformative time. As a doula, holistic wellness coach, and prenatal yoga teacher my commitment is to act as a trail guide supporting and empowering you through the journey of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood, and to be an anchor of calm amidst waves of confusion and pain, and to be a reminder of your strength.

Why use a birth doula?
As a doula and mother, I recognize that birth is a sacred life experience that will be remembered for the rest of your life, and my role as a doula is to nurture and protect my client’s memory of this experience no matter your birth preferences. I provide continuous unbiased support, and am completely there for my client and their family to navigate this beautiful experience, and bring my knowledge and tools to the experience to make them feel as comfortable and supported as possible.
Why Practice Prenatal Yoga?
Prenatal yoga can be a powerful tool to empower and support birthing people to feel comfortable in their bodies during an uncomfortable time where your body is growing and shifting on the daily. During this sacred time you are forming a new relationship with your body and baby, and you will experience a range of emotions and feelings.
Prenatal yoga can assist in managing these feelings and stressors, create an opportunity to take care of your body and mind, give you more opportunity to take part in creating a nurturing environment for the baby, and prepare for the journey of labor, delivery, and parenthood. The benefits span through all these stages, not just labor.
Depending on location these private sessions can be done with Lauren in person in the comfort of your home, a studio space (Massapequa), or virtually via zoom.
How can we work together?
This can be in the form of all inclusive packages, labor and birth support, personalized private prenatal yoga sessions, prenatal doula visits, partner workshops, postpartum support, recorded offerings and more. Depending on your needs, estimated due date, availability, location, and other factors we can work together in a variety of ways.
Concierge style support, weekly sessions, monthly sessions, and more. Don’t see what you need? Just ask, we can create a custom package together to suit your needs.

More kind words from clients…
“Lauren is very skilled in her yoga and meditation practice and it is evident that she has great experience. She has truly guided me throughout my pregnancy beyond just the scheduled session. She has provided me with skills on how to breathe better and ease any anxieties that come with pregnancy. I’ve grown through her private classes and I’m truly thankful for all her help, guidance, and positive energy and support”
— Jackie M.
Lauren has an instinctively sensitive and nurturing approach to the practice. She encourages the practitioner to *feel* the value of a posture - more focused on the authenticity- rather than the physical shape- of a posture. She has a very welcoming and humble approach - perfect for a beginner or a seasoned practitioner.
— Katie R.
