Laura Hogan.


Laura's journey to become a certified Postpartum Doula began as a teenager who found cozy corners in bookstores reading and absorbing like a sponge all the information she could get about birth, newborns and becoming a Mom.  After completing her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a rewarding 30+ year career in Special Education she took the leap to certify as a Postpartum Doula.

With a serene and supportive nature, Laura offers personalized assistance to families, covering areas such as infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery, bonding, soothing, and baby care. Her intuitive approach allows her to meet individuals where they are and address their needs during the fourth trimester.

As a mother of three, Laura deeply understands the significance of postpartum care. Her mission is to empower birthing parents and their partners, facilitating nourishment, grounding, and empowerment as they embark on or continue their journey into parenthood. She holds a personal interest in postpartum mental health, drawing from her own experience of a traumatic birth and recovery with her second baby.

Testimonials.

  • Octavia. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

    I cannot recommend Laura highly enough! She provided overnight care for my twins from the day we got home from the hospital. Laura supported  not just physical but also invaluable emotional and mental health during a challenging postpartum period. Her calming presence, expertise, and genuine compassion made all the difference in those early weeks.

    She intuitively knew when I needed reassurance and someone to listen. Knowing my babies were in such capable hands allowed me to get the sleep I desperately needed, which was essential for my recovery. She was patient, nurturing, and always went above and beyond to ensure both my twins and I were well cared for.

    I am incredibly grateful for Laura and the  support she provided me and my partner as we birthed our rainbow baby. She not only helped with daytime newborn care but also created a safe, nurturing space for me to process my emotions and anxiety. Her kindness, patience, and understanding made all the difference in my healing journey. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of both practical and emotional support during postpartum

    I was really struggling when my baby was 2 weeks old. I had a consultation with Laura and was having doubts about the cost and did I really need a doula? I took the leap and booked Laura for 1 shift, that became 2 and then 4 months of support. I’m so happy I did, it’s hard to express how much I needed the support, but wasn’t really aware. She came into our lives when I needed her the most. We’ll always hold space in our hearts for Laura in our family’s journey

    Laura was with me as our surrogate birthed our son early and my partner wasn’t able to fly here immediately. She helped with all our doctors appointments, phototherapy and caring for our son while I went to the lawyers. I was completely on my own and English isn’t my first language- Laura was so helpful and I always felt comfortable and safe when my son was in her care
