Meet Lauren

Hi, I'm Lauren Bell (CD, M.A., R-CPLC), and I'm so glad you're here!

I empower and support parents through life’s transitions by offering emotional, physical, and educational guidance, both during the perinatal phase and beyond.

My own journey began with the support of birth doulas who created an amazing experience that reshaped how I see myself as both a person and a parent.

Years later, when my mom was diagnosed with cancer, I found myself longing for that same type of support to help navigate the overwhelming mix of emotions, information, and logistics. That's when I realized I wanted to become a doula for all of life's transitions, not just during birth.

I am a mom of 2 adventurous kiddos and am grateful to be on the parenthood journey with my husband. We're often riding bikes, skiing, or throwing rocks into the Puget Sound.

I am excited to hopefully get to know you!

My background & education

I grew up in the Puget Sound area with my parents and older brother who are all mental health providers. I graduated from University of Puget Sound with a B.A. in Psychology and ventured into the corporate world while getting a M.A. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from Seattle Pacific University. I spent 16 years working in program management, learning & development, and HR. I left the corporate world because I wanted to be more present for my family and support other families through my work. Most recently, I've become certified as a doula and a RETAIN Parental Leave Coach. All of this experience and education has given me a keen ability to step into life's messiest moments with empathy, grace, and a proactive mindset.

My approach

Through each life moment you're facing, we'll partner to:

Plan tight - When a big transition in our identity, our routines, or our work is looming, intentionally planning for this transition builds your confidence in being able to face what’s ahead.
Fly loose - In the moment, plans can change. Things and people aren’t going to show up the way you anticipated. And that’s okay! "Flying loose" allows you to be present and focused on what you can control in the moment.
Embrace support - Embracing support is one of the hardest things to do during a transition. But asking for and receiving support during a transition is critical during these challenging transitions.

Working Parent Coaching

When you're welcoming a newborn into your family, there are so many practical and logistical transitions you go through. I am a certified RETAIN Parental Leave Coach (R-CPLC) through the Center of Parental Leave Leadership and offer coaching to new and experienced parents before, during, and after your leave of absence to help you feel confident in working parenthood.

Postpartum Doula

Whether it’s day or night, I offer a variety of services to help ease the transition of a growing family through practical, physical and emotional support.

Beyond Perinatal Services

As parents, we don’t stop needing support.

Moving and Decluttering

Start fresh with a helping hand in removing clutter and organizing chaos into practical and sustainable ways. Whether your family is staying put or calling a new place a home, having someone to help manage logistics and doing the grunt work can be a huge help.

Medical Diagnosis and Planning

When you or a loved one are forced to face the challenges of navigating a medical diagnosis, there is a lot of voices, information, and logistics that quickly become noise. All you really should be doing in this time is caring for yourself and/or your loved one. Through this service, I will be your second pair of eyes and ears to help make sure you're not overwhelmed by the noise.

Just in Time Support

Life throws us curve balls we never saw coming. If you need an extra pair of hands, ears, and eyes during this time to manage logistics, projects, or people, I am happy to offer just in time support.

All pricing available upon request.
