ABOUT

Born and raised in France by an American mother and a French father, I’ve always embraced the beauty of blending different cultural perspectives. I live in the vibrant and multicultural neighborhood of Long Island City, Queens.One of the things I love most about being both a birth doula and a yoga/pilates instructor is discovering the natural synergy between the two—especially in finding intuitive, embodied ways to cope with pain.I trained as a birth doula with DONA International, Spinning Babies and Carriage House Birth in New York City.

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!”
- Marissa & Nick, January 2025“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!”
- Melissa, September 2024"Laura took the time to truly get to know me and my husband, listening to every concern without
an ounce of judgment. She was consistently present — checking in, answering our questions,
and making sure we felt seen, heard, and cared for. Her calm presence brought so much peace
during such an intense and vulnerable time."
- Lauren, June 2025"I am so happy I found my Doula, Laura. Her calm and reassuring personality is exactly what I needed. I truly believe her knowledge prevented from me from having a c-section which is something I really wanted to avoid. Laura advocated for me when needed and provided the encouragement that was crucial towards my vaginal delivery."
