Hey there! I’m Laurice Snyder, a DONA-trained birth doula based in Fond du Lac, WI, and I’m all about showing up with strength, calm, and heart for every birthing person I have the honor to support. Whether your birth is wild and fast, slow and steady, or full of unexpected turns- I’m here to walk with you, hold space for your power, and make sure you feel seen, heard, and fully supported. When I’m not in the birth space, I’m wearing a few other hats....leadership consultant, mentor, community volunteer, proud mom of three, and partner to one amazing human. If you’re looking for a doula who brings grounded energy, real talk, and unwavering care to your journey… I’d love to connect!

My overall experience with her was beyond amazing. From the very beginning, she made me feel truly heard, seen, and supported. She has such a calm and reassuring presence that gave me confidence through every step of my journey. On the rare occasions when she wasn’t able to answer right away, I’ll admit I felt a little defeated in the moment, but she never left me hanging she always made it a priority to call back or respond as soon as she could. Whenever I had questions, she took the time to answer them thoroughly, and if she didn’t have the exact answer, she made sure to guide me in the right direction so I felt secure and informed. What stood out the most was how intentional and caring she was. I never once felt like just another client she truly invested her time, energy, and heart into making sure I was supported. That kind of dedication is rare, and it meant so much to me during such an important chapter of my life. I’m deeply grateful for everything she did for me, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who goes above and beyond.

Having Laurice as my doula has truly been one of the best parts of my pregnancy journey. From the very beginning, she has been more than just supportive—she has been a source of strength, comfort, and encouragement when I needed it most. She always knew how to calm my worries, celebrate my milestones, and remind me that I’m capable, even on the harder days. What I appreciate most is how she made me feel seen and understood. She listened without judgment, gave me space to express myself, and always offered the perfect balance of knowledge and reassurance. She didn’t just show up for me as a doula—she showed up for me as a friend, and that has meant so much. As I look back on this journey, I can’t imagine going through it without her. Her kindness, patience, and genuine care made such a difference, and I’ll forever be grateful that I had her by my side. I would recommend her to any mom-to-be who wants someone who will truly walk with them through every high and low of pregnancy with love and support.

Laurice was wonderful! Great asset to making our home birth what we wanted. She helped prepare my husband and I in thinking about possible situations we could encounter, as well as in reflecting on things postpartum. It was a comfort knowing she was by our side. Excited to be using her in the future, too, Lord willing! :)
