Lucie is a certified, vaccinated, and insured labor and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and placenta encapsulator, with over a decade of experience helping families. Prior to certifying as a doula, Lucie worked as a newborn care specialist and private childcare provider. She has extensive experience and serves families of all kinds, including surrogates, single mothers, multiples, and families that struggle with mental health hardships or are enduring a loss. Caring for children has always been a passion, but becoming a mother really highlighted the importance, and lack, of readily available support throughout pregnancy and motherhood. Lucie has since rededicated her work to educating, empowering, and supporting parents. It was once said that it takes a village, let Lucie be your village.
Soon after studying special education and behavioral psychology as an undergrad, Lucie realized the impact she could have working with individual families and how amazing it felt to build lasting relationships with children and their parents. Her work led her to continue her education in newborn care and child development, including but not limited to establishing healthy sleep habits, safe car seat practices, baby led weaning, and respectful parenting.
When an opportunity presented itself to attend a childbirth education class with a friend and mom-to-be, Lucie was floored by the amount of new information. This was the moment that ignited her passion to not only learn all she could, but to make sure all that information was accessible to everyone who wanted it. Lucie became a certified doula, and childbirth and parenting educator to that end, and works hard to make sure her clients are informed and confident in making decisions for themselves and their children. When she’s not working, Lucie enjoys spending time with her 2 girls, knitting, baking, reading, and playing piano. She is also bilingual and speaks fluent Russian.
