Laura is a postpartum doula with a lifelong passion for caretaking, maternal and mental health, and early childhood development. Her love for supporting growing families began early — earning her first certification as a Red Cross babysitter at just 11 years old at Girl Scout Camp. Since then, she has worked with children and families in many roles, including camp counselor and leadership team member at nearby Camp Champions, a nanny for many families, au pair in Italy, and preschool teacher at Austin’s Yoga Peace School.

Laura’s doula work is deeply rooted in education, empowerment, and nurturing care. In addition to her postpartum doula training and continuing education,, she has experience in prenatal and postnatal yoga, infant massage instruction, and kids’ yoga: including family, baby, and “parent & me” classes. She is also a certified CPR and First Aid instructor and is especially passionate about equipping new and expecting parents with the skills and confidence to keep their little ones safe. Laura believes that when parents feel calm, supported, and well-resourced, the entire family thrives.

As a postpartum doula, Laura’s goal is to “work herself out of a job” — helping families build confidence, trust their instincts, and feel prepared for life beyond the fourth trimester. She is especially passionate about supporting birthing parents as they heal physically, emotionally, and mentally after birth, while also holding space for non-birthing parents, older siblings, grandparents, and even family pets.

A natural nurturer, Laura loves cooking for her clients — whether it’s nourishing postpartum meals, lactation cookies, or freezer-friendly dishes for busy days ahead. She is also expanding her offerings and is currently training to become a certified pediatric sleep consultant.

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Laura is a proud graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, where she studied Sociology and Psychology — a background that continues to inform and enrich her work with growing families.

Outside of her work, Laura loves enjoying the outdoors in Austin: hiking the Greenbelt, walking Town Lake, and swimming at Barton Springs. She’s an avid reader of memoirs, a crafty creative, and a devoted dog mom to her two senior pups. A travel enthusiast, she’s also a proud member of the 50 States Club.
