Birth Support Package
Whether you’re a first-time mom, welcoming your fourth child, birthing in home or at the hospital, you are the one that knows what’s best for your body and your baby. We’ll help you to hold your birth as the sacred experience that it is and ensure you have the support you need to feel empowered as you birth your way. It’s our honor to walk this journey with you!
2x Prenatal Sessions
During these sessions we’ll discuss birth preferences & create a birth plan unique to the experience you want. You’ll talk through options and receive resources for you to make the best decisions for you and your baby. The last prenatal will include ways to encourage your body to naturally go into labor.
Information is power. Your prenatal sessions are designed to have a plan that allows you to make decisions from a place of empowerment rather than fear.
4x Body Ready Method®
BRM® focuses on creating alignment in the body so that you can optimize the birthing experience.
This practice is an approach to using whole body functional tools during pregnancy for a more efficient birth and smoother postpartum recovery.

2x Trauma Release Therapy Sessions
The goal of trauma release is to identify and release the emotional and physical imprints of traumatic experiences, allowing you to reframe your perception of those experiences and create new, healthier patterns of thought and behavior.
The therapy is designed to bypass conscious resistance and engage the subconscious mind, where these imprints are stored.
Continuous Labor Support
One of the key aspects of doula support is the continuous presence throughout labor. We utilize various comfort measures and techniques to help manage the physical sensations and discomforts of labor. We also can act as advocates for your wishes and birth plan. We typically join you during early labor and remain with you until after the birth, offering unwavering support during the entire process.
Postpartum Support
We help you navigate the emotional changes that often accompany the postpartum period, including postpartum mood disorders. We provide recommendations on nutritional support and supplements that can help balance hormones in the postpartum period.
We also offer support and education around breastfeeding. We help with proper latch and positioning, provide guidance on establishing breastfeeding routines, offer tips to address common breastfeeding challenges, and connect you to additional resources, such as lactation consultants, if needed.

What Our Clients
Are Saying
Emily, Second Time Mom
“After having a disappointing experience with my first delivery, I knew I wanted this time to be different. By happenstance we found Lauren to be our doula and I can wholeheartedly say it was THE reason why I was successful in having an incredibly peaceful, natural delivery. Not only did Lauren provide me with the tips and tricks needed to prepare my body for birth, she offered constant support and guidance during any pre birth jitters. Lauren is incredibly knowledgeable and has a very calming presence. It is obvious she loves what she does and genuinely cares about her clients.”
Jillian, First Time Mom
“She transformed my perspective on pregnancy and served as an invaluable resource in education and preparation. I felt cared for, encouraged, and empowered going into labor with Laurelen by my side. She went above and beyond for us during the birth of our daughter and throughout the challenges & joy that followed. If
you are looking for a reliable and organized doula, Signature Birth Services will care for you every step of the way.”
Lauren, Second Time Mom
“Laurelen helped me with my second pregnancy so much. I suffered from trauma from my first pregnancy and birth that created uncontrollable fears. She guided me to find my way to a calm place. She empowered me to express what I needed. Laurelen helped me advocate for myself and to find clarity when I became stuck in the dark places that past trauma had created. I am so thankful she helped me see the difference between the traumatic experience and the new experiences I was living. The birth of my second son was a healing and joyful experience that I so desperately needed. I was able to see the positivity and joy in the individual moments. I know I would not have had this experience without working with Laurelen.”
