Laura
BIRTH DOULA
I am French-American, born and raised in France by an American mother and a French father. I first moved to New York City in 2014 for my undergraduate studies, and returned in 2021 to join my husband, Nicholas, a talented fashion designer.
My path toward birth work began in 2017 during my Peace Corps service in Paraguay, where I discovered Yoga and began sharing it with local women. There, I witnessed the profound power of movement as a way to reconnect with our bodies, build resilience, and cultivate a sense of empowerment through life’s most meaningful transitions.
As a birth doula, I integrate my training as a certified Yoga and Pilates instructor to support expecting parents in building strength, easing discomfort, and fostering mindfulness throughout pregnancy and birth.
Holding space, guiding mindful movement, and accompanying people through transformative milestones is where I feel most grounded and purposeful.
A core part of my calling is advocating for birthing people, uplifting their voices, honoring their bodily autonomy, and supporting informed decision-making from pregnancy through postpartum.
It would be an honor to walk alongside you on this remarkable journey of transformation and growth.
Testimonials
“Laura helped us be informed about our options leading up to the birth. Her calming presence helped us through the entire process. It was so helpful to have her by our side during labor, especially as this was our first baby and there were so many unknowns!”
- Marissa & Nick
“Having Laura with us was a blessing. She was informative, supportive but in no way controlling. I couldn't imagine this experience without her.”
- Jimi
“I was struggling to find a doula when my prenatal yoga instructor, Laura, let me know she was one and I felt saved! I don't consider myself in tune with my own body and I don't often feel comfortable around others but I did with Laura. She eased my anxiety with her calm demeanor and hands on techniques. We had to be induced for medical reasons at 37 weeks, meaning we had to completely scrap my birth plan but with Laura by our side we felt everything turned out perfectly!”
