Laura Johnson

About me

I am a registered nurse with 25 years of experience in labor & delivery, maternal and child public health, and pediatrics. I have been providing postpartum doula services to friends and family, informally, for many years. I have chosen to make postpartum doula care my full- time work because I believe that every birthing and non-birthing person deserves deep support after the birth or adoption of a baby. With an extensive background in caring for medically complex infants and children, as well as socially vulnerable populations, I am passionate about providing equitable, trauma-informed care to everyone. As your postpartum doula, I will support you and your family in the ways that feel best for you. You, your baby, and your family are always at the center of my care. When your body and soul feel safe and loved, anything is possible. Providing support to all families, with a focus on: ❤️ Families with infants who may require care in the NICU, including premature infants, medically fragile infants, and infants with special needs. 🧡 Families with multiples (twins, triplets, etc.) 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA2S+ parents 💛 Neurodiverse parents 💚 Birthing person/families who have felt mistreated, unheard or not valued by the medical and other systems in this country 💙 Anti-racist and equitable care for all bodies 💜 Please reach out to me for more information on other services available, including abortion and perinatal loss doula support.
