I wanted to leave a great review for Lainee. She rescued our foster doggie Charlie Tuna whose owner passed. I was frantic to find a loving home for him. He is an older doggie and is a bit blind and can't hear well. It was a miracle for me to find such a kind hearted person in 2 days, as his home was put on the market and had little time to find him a loving home. Charlie Tuna seemed very shy at first but sensed the love that Lainee showed him and in seconds he came out of his carrier and went to her. I was amazed as he had been an abused dog when we got him from the pound for our dad. He loved him so much when he passed we promised never to return him to the pound as he would not fair well. Because of our situation we couldn't keep him. So I am so grateful for the Nextdoor app. It connected us with Lainee. The miracle was not only the perfect quick timing, but the wonderful family he has now. I am so grateful for Lainee and I know Charlie Tuna is too! One more shout out to her as she has a fantastic following of women who have raved about her profession as a Doula! Lots of 5 star reviews. I totally understand that just from meeting her. Kind, loving, gentle, caring, and a smile that says it all. Thank you from our hearts Lainee! We pray you are all safe from the fires. God bless you. read more

Lainee Herbert is the Mary Poppins of Doulas. She is a bonafide expert baby whisperer. I was lucky enough to have her as my night nurse for my newborn baby girl. She came to my rescue after a terrible experience with an unqualified "night nurse." I was floundering for help and Lainee had a short window of weeks to spare amongst her always busy and full schedule. If you want the best, and she is, you better book her way in advance. I'm talking as soon as you know you're pregnant! Her clientele list is a thick phone book of Celebrities and High Profile parents who will pay the extra dollar for someone to swoop in and give them the much needed rest they need, but more importantly, to give their baby the best care a baby could have. I immediately felt Lainee's loving caring confident bohemian energy. I took my first breath after giving birth. Lainee is a walking sigh of relief. Her attitude is the perfect balance of highly educated and practical calmness one needs to custom tailor what each particular newborn needs to have a great night sleep. Lainee was beyond generous in helping me not only nights but also with any questions I had during the day. She's a wealth of infinite baby knowledge and her straight forward candor tells it like it is so a new Mother can easily fix problems as they come. I'm forever grateful to her for being there for me and my daughter in those first few months. Bu Baby Concierge lives up to its expectations and delivers the much needed solace a new mother is looking for after she gives birth. My only regret is not knowing her sooner!

Before meeting Lainee, I had no idea what a doula was. It was a word I heard my wife's friends use when describing their labors. I was pretty much clueless. We interviewed Lainee as a potential doula, and we thought she would be a great fit for us. We wanted someone who can walk along with us on our journey, coaching us, encouraging us along the way. Lainee was all that could have asked for, from answering our calls at 3 AM when my wife's contractions started kicking up, to her presence in the delivery room. With each contraction, with each push, Lainee never relented in her care for my wife. She was an advocate for both of us, whenever there was confusion or decisions that my wife needed to make. I sincerely believe my wife's labor and delivery would have been way more difficult without Lainee's help. I highly recommend her if you are considering a doula for your labor/delivery. read more

I gave birth a week ago with Lainee as my doula and I keep replaying each moment over and over in my mind and how absolutely incredible Lainee was every step of the way in helping my husband and I achieve the birth we dreamed of and most importantly our incredibly healthy son. We were hoping to avoid any unnecessary interventions with our birth and knew that laboring at home and as long as possible was statistically an important part of that, but we wanted to do it safely and with great guidance through the pain. LAINEE WAS EVERYTHING WE COULD HAVE DREAMED OF and helped us accomplish this 100% She met with us twice before the birth and sent us a lot of great resources. One of the times she came to our house and checked out our pre-baby set up and offered advice and help. The night I went into labor she was available immediately via text and phone as I texted her questions and updates and screen shots of my contraction tracker app where i was logging the intervals. The next morning when my contractions were closer and I asked her to come, she was there with ginger chews and tea and was immediately a calming presence and full of resources for each stage of the labor. It was hard! Birth is painful! But her guidance and explanations for each feeling made me WANT the strong contractions because I understood exactly how the pain was helping get us closer to our baby. My husband felt incredibly supported and involved. When I became very tired from the contractions and they started to slow she encouraged me to rest and actually take a nap and she and my husband helped me through the contractions as i rested in bed. If we had been in the hospital, we 100% would have been pressured to introduce pitocin to speed up the delivery which would have increased the pain to the point where I would have needed an epidural and even more pitocin. But Lainee helped us achieve the same result naturally and likely more quickly. After my rest I had the energy to walk and even dance to speed up my contractions as well as endure them. Lainee knew when it was the optimal time to go to the hospital and when we arrived I was 8cm dialated. Lainee continued to be our advocate and I felt incredibly confident that she was both the information from the fetal monitor and my personal birth needs into account with her advice. The nurse wanted me to stay in bed so the fetal monitor could stay in place despite almost all readings showing that our son was doing just fine. Lainee knew I needed to walk for gravity to help the birth progress, so to accomplish both the hospital and our wishes and the best outcome for our son, Lainee held the monitor onto my body so that I could labor standing as I needed. Somehow she also was able to show me meditation videos on her phone and continue to make my husband feel involved and both of us confident. The pushing stage of my labor was over SO quickly and I had an incredibly small tear, which I attribute to my confidence and relaxation thanks to Lainee. And our son was so healthy and perfect in every way. The nurses were all completely amazed that we'd been able to do it all naturally. One nurse even asked me what classes I had taken and how i had been able to handle the pain because she wanted to have a natural birth too. I told her -- I didn't take any classes, all you have to do is HIRE LAINEE! :-) We truly could not recommend her more. read more

Lainee was my post-partum doula (angel sent from heaven). We just had our first baby 3 months ago and don't have family around. I had a longer recovery than I planned on and my fiance was working tons. Lainee came to my rescue and did things around the house that I wasn't able to do, went grocery shopping, cooked for us, took care of the baby so I could shower, showed me how to use baby carrier, put together the swing and car seat, showed me how to bathe baby and how to soothe him, showed me how to use the breast pump and gave me tips about pumping. I love researching and have read all the books but there's something about having someone who is experienced (she has 4 of her own!) standing right next to you, walking you through it and just letting you know that you're going to be okay. She didn't just do things for me, she gave me the hands-on education and confidence that I could do it after she left. She has tons of energy and is hilarious and fun to be around. She was never condescending or bossy, she just helped me with whatever I needed. (I wouldn't have guessed how much help I would need.) She's like a girlfriend or sister without bringing any emotional baggage. :) We've hired her again to teach us how to make baby food at home. I'll update my review and let you know how it goes. I would recommend Lainee for any of her services! read more

The great thing about Lainee is that she devotes 100% of her attention towards the client. Her passion has far exceeded any other around. ...And one of the most knowledgeable Doula's out there. I have a 13 month old tgat she has helped with even the simplest of colds! Amazing! read more

Lainee is the BEST!!! If u need a doula at any point in your pregnancy, or even after you deliver, i would HIGHLY recommend her. Her energy is incredible. She's truly a baby whisperer and a pregnant mommy pro! To be honest, I didn't know what a doula was or why i needed one but she was truly a wonderful coach and partner during my process and helped me understand so many things about my own body and baby growing inside of me. She was there every step of the way. there were so many questions i had that she answered. not that my doctor couldn't but as you know, docs aren't always available the second you need them. Lainee ALWAYS was!! During my delivery, which didn't go as planned AT ALL, she was right there, constantly, providing comfort, giving me advice, but always making sure everything that was happening was what i wanted. She had pain-relief and relaxation techniques that helped me tremendously and also acted as an advocate for me at the hospital which further helped me fulfill my desires with the doctor and hospital staff - and believe me, that kind of help at that time is invaluable. If i have more babies she will be the first person i call to be my side again. Also, she was great for after care as well. i had no idea what to do once i got that baby home. Again, Lainee was right there, helping me through the breast-feeding process and making sure i was replenishing my body with good and nourishing food and drinks, all the while, effortlessly and happily taking care of my baby so i could sleep and get acclimated to my new life. I tried to keep her there for months afterward!! lol. If you're looking and interviewing, you can stop here. your search is over. :) love you, lainee! read more
