Meet Laura
Thank you for visiting - I am so happy that you are here. My name is Laura Lucas and I am the holistic wellness practitioner behind lovechild doula and wellness. I live in Boulder, Colorado with my husband and three beautiful children.
I have been practicing massage therapy for over 20 years mostly throughout Colorado with a few years in New York City. Of all of my clients, I have always loved working with prenatal and postpartum women. Throughout my career, I have explored many pathways of healing such as massage therapy, herbal medicine, plant-based nutrition, traditional Chinese cupping, and, of course, labor & postpartum doula training. I have studied at Boulder College of Massage Therapy, Swedish Institute of Massage, International Thai Massage Institute, Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism, Cornell University, International Cupping Therapy Association, DONA International and CAPPA Academy.
Starting a family of my own began my calling of becoming a doula and specializing in supporting women throughout their journey into Motherhood. I feel so honored and truly grateful to share this sacred space with women and their families. My intention is to hold a mindful, safe space with non-biased education-based support for the laboring and birthing woman so that she may feel empowered to lean into her own strengths and surrender to the moment.
Lovechild was born in 2021 when my dear friend told me she was pregnant with her first baby. My heart soared at the sound of supporting her throughout her pregnancy and birth. And since then, I just cannot stop breathing my passion and soul into this work. This made such an imprint on my heart forever. Like the fingerprint of your newborn baby, each experience has been incredibly unique to every individual laboring and birthing mother.
Several curated packages are available to choose from which incorporate a full-spectrum of healing modalities into the duration of our time together. Finding connection and building trust throughout the duration of your pregnancy is so important to be able to lean into and feel fully supported for your birth, and into the early days of Motherhood.
