Our Story
Nurturing Arrivals Birth Support was founded from a place of personal transformation and deep passion. After facing two challenging labors, Laci realized the lack of information about her choices left her unable to advocate for herself. This spurred her to learn and empower other mothers to advocate for the births they deserve.
​
A chance meeting through a mutual friend connected Laci with Jaqulynn, forming a powerful partnership. Inspired by Laci's experiences and driven by a shared mission, Jaqulynn became her mentor. Together, they merged their expertise to support mothers in their community.

Nurturing Arrivals Birth Support is dedicated to ensuring that every mother can have the best possible birth experience, empowering them with knowledge and unwavering support.

Birth Doula
Soon to be: DONA Certified Doula, HypnoBirth Doula and Educator
My journey to becoming a mother was not easy. I had two very different and difficult births that taught me a lot about myself and the challenges of childbirth. My first birth was a long and exhausting labor that ended in an emergency cesarean. I felt scared, helpless, and disappointed that I couldn’t have the natural birth I wanted. My second birth was a planned cesarian, I felt unprepared, anxious, and overwhelmed by the intensity of the experience and felt guilty for not trying to deliver naturally. Both of my births left me feeling traumatized and in need of healing.
​
These experiences made me realize that there is a gap in the traditional healthcare system when it comes to supporting mothers during birth. I felt that I didn’t get enough information, education, or emotional support from my providers, and that I had to advocate for myself and my baby. I decided to become a doula to fill that gap and to help other mothers have a better birth experience. As a doula, I offer personalized and continuous support to mothers before, during, and after birth. I help them prepare for their birth, cope with their pain, communicate with their providers, and celebrate their achievements. I want every mother to feel empowered, respected, and joyful during their birth.

I believe in fostering a sense of connectedness—to each other, to the earth, and to the greater forces of life that connect everything around us—and I hope that with each birth, women can experience the profound sense of bliss and unity they were designed to have while embracing the sacredness of the birth journey.
