Hello! My name is Lauren McFall and I am a birth doula based in Grand Haven, Michigan. I have always had a passion for supporting others, and working in the birth space. I’m here to help birthing people of all walks of life to birth on their own terms.
Birth doulas can be just the right crutch during pregnancy, and childbirth. We provide support, comfort, massage, pain management tools, and offer support to you, your partner, and your birth plan during labor. Hiring a birth doula can be essential to having a positive birth experience.
“Lauren was such a help during our birth. She always had such a positive and supportive attitude. She was such a shining light during the stress of our long labor. I am so grateful for her and her help. Also, thankful for her documenting our birth with her camera!”
“We had the wonderful privilege of working with Lauren for the birth of our second child. Upon meeting her, you immediately get a sense that this line of work comes naturally for her as she has a very calm and gentle demeanor during the labor process. Throughout my labor, she not only
provided encouraging words and helpful maneuvers, but she did a great job at reading where I was mentally and emotionally as she made her next move or asked me a question. (Anyone who has been in labor knows that answering too many questions can be overwhelming…) She also took some amazing photos for us that look something of what a professional photographer would produce! Outside of all that, she is a bubbly and very genuine person, who is easy to open up to during postpartum! 5/5 for Lauren :)”
“Lauren is so helpful & positive to have around! Every question I asked, she had an uplifting, supportive & wealth of knowledge! She’s a main reason we felt prepared!”
