Full-spectrum services for your family planning.
Parents and baby deserve some looking after to help the transition into familyhood. With my practice I’m bringing the village back to help facilitate that.
I would be remiss if I didn’t start by letting you all know who Judy was. She was a powerhouse of a woman, a teen mother who found herself wheelchair bound after her second child (I am her third) due to tumors on her spinal cord. Throughout her life I watched as she not only raised her own children but took in and raised others, cooked for and nurtured the whole block, and became a beacon of strength and guidance for those in need. Even now on her memorial Facebook page, I see comment after comment of people wishing they just had her ear for a moment, that is who she was. I’ve spent my entire life with a helpers spirit and that comes from having a disabled mother of course, but mostly from watching her care for others in the way that she did. In this lifetime I have been a nanny, au pair, EMT, and now Doula, all of which speak to my love for raw, unfiltered humanness. I was bestowed the gift to show up in the moments when we are the most vulnerable and make myself right at home in the mess because truly that all we ever need, someone who will be a witness to us as we move through life. I honor my mother with every act of service I preform knowing that her spirt guides me in all that I do. I am Judys daughter, Doula, caretaker, healer. - Lyndsay Cromwell.

Philosophy
My philosophy when it comes to birth, like most things in life, is a focus on intentionality. I believe every birthing person should have the right to go into birth with a clear vision of what they want. What are the enthusiastic yes’s and hard no’s, how can you show up the most authentic version of yourself during this time, is there something in your past that needs attention before the transition into parenthood? Does this mean that things will go 100% your way? We can hope, but the beauty of birth can be in its unpredictability and good news for you, we can be intentional about that too!

Mother of two, first pregnancy with a doula
Hospital birth, high risk, long distance
My partner and I had a great experience with Lyndsay as our first time doula. We were and will forever be grateful for her. She is absolutely amazing from beginning to end I felt completely comfortable with her. Our first sit down was all about me and what I imagined this pregnancy to be. From there she kept the ball rolling with tons of information from meal prep to breathing strategies to information on what happens during labor after birth; honestly she just checked all the boxes she is the perfect person to have on your birth team and not only for you but for everyone you plan on having involved. As my doula she made sure my team was informed and aware of everything that needed to be done for me and baby to have a healthy journey. The best part about having Lyndsay was she always made sure I was comfortable throughout my whole journey she always went over my birth plan with me when things changed with my health or when I wanted to change something about my birth plan just due to preference. Her main goal my entire pregnancy was the health and safety of me and baby and she did just that. - Nahgee Baldwin
