The Baby Whisperer

As a Queer Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10+ years of experience, Laurie comes to her doula position with therapeutic skill, deep compassion for people, and a desire to empower families.

Apart from her psychological expertise, Laurie has been employed as a nanny and daycare teacher, volunteered as a NICU cuddler, been present in several births, worked with pregnant teens and provided parent education in a nonprofit setting, and have provided postpartum “Auntie” support with a multitude of family and friends and their newborn journeys.  

As a queer person, Laurie values diversity and working with marginalized populations, including trans birthing people. I’m here to support you in your newborn phase no matter what your family looks like.

Laurie has often been called a “baby whisperer” since she was young and regularly receives feedback that she brings deep calm and peace (and also humor) to chaotic spaces.

Laurie was doula-trained through DONA International in 2024 and plans on continued education through Birth Advocacy Doula’s which has more of a focus on diverse/marginalized communities and social justice.
