About Capital Region Birth & Baby
My Background
My name is Lawren Masters and I am the founder of Birth and Baby LLC. I have over 3 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and their families as an Early Childhood Educator, I have hundreds of hours in early childhood development training, and I have an additional 2+ years working as a birth doula. I am currently in pursuit of my Bachelors in Nursing.
I have helped and held many families as they navigated their reproductive and parenting journeys. I look forward to growing with you.
Philosophy
At it's core, birth is a normal bodily function. I understand this is a paradigm shift from the culturally normalized belief that birth is inherently dangerous and by default is a medical event requiring supervision, management, and augmentation. However, birth, postpartum, and bereavement are all natural human processes that are deserving of adequate preparation, visibility, support, understanding, and respect from the community.
I believe that every parent is deserving of unconditional, non-judgmental support along their journey.
Services
Birth and Baby LLC offers a range of services including birth doula care, postpartum doula care, bereavement doula care, peer support groups, and classes to parents of Albany and surrounding areas in the Greater Capital Region.
These services are designed to help families feel better supported with evidence-based information, psychological and physical comforts, and tools for self-advocacy.
