Meet Laura DePasquale
Laura has supported more than 1,000 births and taught childbirth education since 1991. Her work is evidenced-based, compassionate and grounded in respect for each family’s priorities.
Birth does not always follow the plan made during pregnancy. Laura helps families understand what is happening, communicate with their care team and stay grounded when decisions need to be made.
Her Certified Lactation Counselor education adds depth to her understanding of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood, while her active family services remain focused on birth doula support and childbirth education.
Birth Doula New Jersey
Laura also supports some families planning births in New York City. Availability depends on your due date and planned birth location.
