Our Doulas
Two independent practices, one shared standard of care.
Laura Griffis
Calm, confident, and continually present — from pregnancy through early postpartum.
I am a mom to four children and live in Blaine, serving families all over the Twin Cities. I’m a Minnesota native but spent six years in Texas, where I met my husband; we’ve been married since 2004. I have a BS in Psychology with a Marriage and Family emphasis.
My own doula was influential in shifting my narrative around childbirth, and that experience — challenging and empowering in equal measure — started my journey toward serving families as a doula myself. I remain calm, encouraging, and intentional, and I make every effort to help you feel safe, heard, and continually cared for during labor.

Support and information for childbearing families, before, during, and after birth.
I’ve been interested in birth — how it happens and what it means — since I was eleven, when my parents welcomed me to my sister’s birth. Years later I met a doula and knew that was my path, someday. I’ve been attending births as a doula since 2011 and trained through DONA (Doulas of North America) that same year.
I’m married with three children, born by hospital birth, surprise homebirth, and planned homebirth respectively — so I’ve sat on every side of the options I help my clients weigh. I’m an accredited La Leche League leader and offer ongoing breastfeeding education and support. I’m also a Christian and, at a client’s request, am glad to bring prayer, worship, or ritual into their birth.
