Day Doula
Night Doula
Day & Night Doula
I believe in the power of nurturing, warm and gentle support. I know the power of a helping hand, wherever families need it most — in the kitchen: cooking nourishing and nutritious meals, in the home: tidying up and helping organize all of your new baby supplies, or in the hearts and bodies of new parents: reaching out to other service providers to create a network of supportive care.
Laura Croley, Owner & Founder, created Bloomin' Mamas to bring back community to today's world, at a time in one's parenthood journey where they need it most. Bloomin' Mamas provides resources and referrals to families in this important phase of postpartum. My support encompasses nurturing practices, nourishing recipes and natural approaches to healing a parent’s mind, body and spirit. This empowers you to be there for your baby in all the ways you choose.
"Laura went above and beyond what I expected from a postpartum doula, not only cheerfully helping us through many sleepless nights with an extremely active newborn, but supporting both my husband and I in navigating our new roles as parents - from providing us a wealth of information on caring for our baby, to carefully preparing nutritious and healing meals to help get us through those days where we were likely to forget to eat otherwise. Beyond that, she also helped me navigate an extremely difficult breastfeeding journey, and if it wasn’t for her support I no doubt would have given up on it shortly after bringing our baby home. She provided hands-on assistance, endless emotional encouragement, and also drew upon her extensive network of early-motherhood resources to answer questions that were outside of her general scope of knowledge (i.e., lactation consultants, body workers, chiropractic, etc.) My husband and I are eternally grateful for the care and support Laura provided to us, consider her a true friend, and hope to maintain a strong connection with her over the years. We’re even ready to book her in advance for when it comes time for our next baby."
Laura has been a tremendous help for our family since our second son arrived. I have two kiddos under two years old and she was extremely helpful cooking meals for us, folding laundry, playing with my toddler and so much more! Her cooking is magnificent, so I always made sure I had something for her to prepare when she came over. She has amazing resources if you need them and makes you feel very calm about any circumstance that may arise. She has great energy and an eagerness to continue learning. I highly recommend Laura for any postpartum needs and support.
Laura was my birth and postpartum doula. I didn’t have the support for my first and honestly felt hesitant to have another person in the room with my husband and I. I couldn’t say enough good things and don’t know how I’d ever do another birth without the support she gave me. It truly felt magical and more comforting to have her but my side for support, positioning, motivation, and hands on massage. I had Laura come over for daytime postpartum support. She was so knowledgeable and helpful. She is a baby whisper. She totally changed my birth and postpartum journey for the better and I will hire her for any other future children. Laura was made for this job. She’s caring, loving, trustworthy and an overall amazing human being we were lucky to have in our life. Thank you Laura for helping us!
