Lauri Mark, CD(DONA)
Experience Highlights: Birth & Postpartum Doula /Childbirth Education/Lactation Education/VBAC/Premmies
Lauri sees birth as a life changing, natural event in the lives of many of her clients. Childbirth can be a strengthening experience, one where new parents become empowered and build their self-esteem through positive birth experiences, having long lasting effects on the individual and the growing family. As each person is unique, so is their birthing experience unique. She will help you get the information you need to make informed decisions and support you through any of your choices. Every circumstance can lead to positive birth experiences.
Bringing a new baby home is a time for many adjustments. Lauri will support you as you make this transition, offering evidence based information and resources on babycare and infant feeding.
As an educator, Lauri strives to instill confidence in birthing people through evidence based information in pregnancy, childbirth and early childcare. A background in dance has led to a deep understanding of the physical aspects of birth and a hands on approach to labour support.
Lauri has a wealth of experience through over 30 years assisting clients with breastfeeding and as a doula. I support new families in Toronto hospitals, The Birth Centre and homes and continue to be fascinated by the birth process.
My goal is to help you achieve a positive birth experience.
