About Me

Hi, I'm Laci! I'm a San Diego–based birth doula dedicated to supporting families with compassionate, evidence-based, and heart-centered care. My path to birth work began with two transformative births that made me realize there is a gap in the traditional healthcare system when it comes to supporting birthing individuals. I believe that birth is not only a physical experience but an emotional and transformative one—a sacred threshold—and every family deserves to feel informed, empowered, and deeply supported through it all.
My mission is to provide grounded, compassionate support as you journey through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. What I bring to each birth is calm presence, grounded intuition, and a commitment to honoring your unique wishes. I've supported families across a wide spectrum of birth preferences—unmedicated, epidural-supported, VBAC, cesarean, hospital, birth center, and home birth—and my role is always the same: to hold a nurturing space where you feel seen, safe, heard, and respected. With both heart and skill, I offer individualized care that helps you navigate your unique birth experience with confidence and clarity.
Outside the birth space, I'm with my girls exploring parks, museums, and libraries, or drinking an iced coffee.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that birth is not only a physical experience but an emotional and transformative one, a sacred threshold. Having walked through two transformative births of my own, I came to see the gap in the traditional healthcare system when it comes to supporting birthing individuals, and I believe every family deserves to feel informed, empowered, and deeply supported through it all.

What I bring to each birth is a calm presence, grounded intuition, and a commitment to honoring your unique wishes. Whatever your birth preferences - unmedicated, epidural-supported, VBAC, cesarean, or in a hospital, birth center, or at home - my role is always the same: to hold a nurturing space where you feel seen, safe, heard, and respected. With both heart and skill, I offer individualized, evidence-based care that meets you exactly where you are.

Overall, my goal is to help you navigate your unique birth experience with confidence and clarity—feeling empowered, supported, and deeply cared for every step of the way.
