HAPPY CAMPERS
Lacey is a pleasure to work with and is also a great teacher! She helped my wife and I to prepare for our first birth. With all that we learned in the course we went in with confidence and all the good information needed for success! I would recommend this to anyone wanting to prepare themselves well for the sacred task of childbirth. Trust me, it helps.

I had the privilege of spending 3 fun days with Lacey training her to be a Birth Boot Camp childbirth educator. Her deep love of birth and dedication to women are so apparent in everything she says. She has a strong birth background and knowledge base that will serve her doula clients and students well. She is fun and kind and does not bring her own birth agenda into other’s birth plans. She truly wants to support families in the type of birth they invision for themselves. I am thrilled Lacey decided to join the Birth Boot Camp ranks! She’s an asset to our company as a whole and to her community. I give Lacey and Breathe Deep Birth 5 SOLID stars!

When I decided I wanted to take child birth classes, I knew Lacey would be the perfect person to teach us everything we needed to know. We did Birth Boot Camp classes with her over the course of several weeks. Due to the pandemic, our classes were online but it felt as though they were in person because Lacey always took the time to answer every single question we had and made sure we were fully prepared for child birth and breastfeeding. I 100% recommend!

My husband and I absolutely loved our experience learning about all things natural birth with Lacey!
She was so informative and such a kind trusting educator and Doula. These classes left me feeling confident and excited for my birth, and my husband felt confident in being everything I need him to be in that moment. This class is so helpful for dads in the way of giving them all the tools to know what to do when to do and why. We would 100% recommend using her services!!

My husband and I have known Lacey for a few years, so when we finally got pregnant we were SO excited to take our childbirth classes through her. Lacey was super flexible with our schedule, and made us both feel really comfortable learning about something we were both pretty nervous for - birth. We felt confidently informed about all of our various options going into a home birth, but we also learned a lot about hospital births and other scenarios so we could feel confident in those situations if we needed to. Lacey is AWESOME, and we feel so grateful to have had this connection with her!

Lacey was my doula for the birth of my second daughter and my first unmedicated birth. She supported me throughout my pregnancy and was by my side during labor. Her knowledge and passion gave me the confidence I needed to accomplish the birth I had been dreaming of. Having Lacey as part of my birth team helped make my birth experience the best I could hope for.

I've known Lacey for many years and have had the pleasure of attending many births with her. She is an exceptional birth doula; not only is she skilled and intuitive, but she brings a warmth and humor that is uniquely Lacey. Her dedication to birth and supporting families has been a defining feature of her care of the years. I could not recommend her highly enough!

Lacey was my mom’s neighbor when I found out I was pregnant and alone at 39. Thinking this may be my only opportunity, I was determined to have a baby as a single mom with my mom as my partner. We attended birthing classes together, and while I appreciate all that my mom did to assist me, her best advice was to hire Lacey as my doula. The plan was a home birth at my mom’s but my son came 6 weeks early and my midwife advised that I go to the hospital. I was furious because I equated hospital births with cesarean sections and I was not about to allow that!
Lacey dropped everything and headed to Medical City Plano to meet me. Our nurse was fantastic in that she left us alone except to do her check in rounds and was very supportive of our labor process. The doctor was the one on call and I was very strict with him about what I wanted and didn’t want. He made sure to include all of it in his medical notes that I had the pleasure of reading later.
I had a birthing ball that I spent most of my time sitting on and leaning over the side of the bed. Lacey was quick to remind me to get up and use the bathroom regularly, which I would not have done without her prompting. The pain of the contractions was in my lower back and Lacey spent much of her time pushing her fists into the contractions to relieve me. I believe that she spent as much time doing physical work as I did!
This was actually one of the reasons I chose her over another doula I had interviewed. Because I was single, I wanted someone to be able to assist me the way a husband would with the physical support. Lacey is tall and strong in stature and I could put all of my weight upon her when needed. She truly took the brunt of my burden throughout the process.
At one point, the pain was such that I was saying, “No, no, no, no,” and she replied with, “yes, yes, yes, yes,” which was reassuring that Yes, I could do this! And we did! Bodhi was born naturally in the hospital without a change of staff (timely) and with no issues other than his premature status. I could not have done as well as I did without Lacey’s support. I have since recommended doulas as the only way to give birth regardless of how much family support you have with you. An outside person whose role is to empower the mother throughout the birthing process is an incredible gift during such an intense time.

Lacey was a fantastic source of knowledge, comfort, and reliability! The dedication and time she took to make sure we were fully aware of what we needed to know while also making sure we did not feel fearful was so helpful. Before Lacey, I was so nervous for my natural birth! But after meeting her and having her so available to me throughout my pregnancy and birth process really helped me feel safe and ready to take anything on. She will be a great fit for your team.

I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Lacey Dowlearn as a doula. I met Lacey last year and so enjoyed my experience in the prenatal class she taught that I decided to hire her as my doula. She was invaluable at my son’s birth. Lacey has the gift of making others feel immediately at ease with her sense of humor, candor, warmth, and love for the beauty of childbirth. My husband also found Lacey particularly helpful and reassuring as he was helping me in labor. She seemed to know exactly what comfort measures would be helpful in each moment as labor progressed, and I felt so well supported every step of the way. We also trusted her should we need an advocate with hospital staff. An excellent listener, Lacey did a wonderful job caring for us personally while sharing her knowledge of labor and birth. She knew that the most important thing to us was our Christian faith, and during a difficult moment after I had been pushing for a while, she suggested that she and our nurse step out so my husband and I could pray together. I was so overwhelmed that the idea hadn’t occurred to me, and I was so grateful that Lacey had gotten to know us, not just our birth plan, because a quiet moment of prayer was exactly what I needed before our son finally arrived. In a job where relationships and expertise in the craft are paramount, I can confidently say that Lacey is the perfect doula to have at any laboring mother’s side.
