Hi Laurie, it was so so nice meeting you! We both thoroughly enjoyed our session, It felt so good being taken care of. THANK YOU!! !
I was diagnosed with pre-pre eclampsia the last month of my pregnancy. I was worrying about it and of course that didn't help, on the contrary. Laurie helped me relax and enjoy the last weeks of my pregnancy by guiding me through yoga moves, massaging me and also facilitating guided imageries.
My pelvic floor session with Laurie was outstanding. Her mere presence is healing and comforting. She gave me tools to strengthen my pelvic floor after suffering from a bladder prolapse and I have to say her skills and knowledge saved me from a surgery. I'm very grateful for her support and efficient work.
Laurie Reinke totally helped reshape how I move in my home and in public to activate my pelvic floor with specific exercises and actions while tending to my daughter.
I have a serious back condition called “ ankylosing spondylitis” and she has helped me reduce pain and change crucial elements in my day to maintain overall body health! I can not recommend her enough!
I booked some private sessions with Laurie hoping to improve my pelvic floor as well as gain some practical tools for daily, and lifelong, pelvic floor health. Laurie really took the time to listen to my concerns, even asking about my birth story and history, and then tailored the program to meet my needs.
Some of the exercises were familiar to me, but they really became something new once I considered what my pelvic floor was doing.
I also learned many different ways to incorporate my baby into the exercises, something that is very practical when you have a active, crawling child.
I felt very comfortable with Laurie; it's clear that she has a passion for what she does.
I recommend Laurie, who took me through nice training sessions to exercise the pelvic floor muscles after birth. I really liked it! I learned things that are good to practice for life-preventing issues that can happen during ageing. I feel really good about it.
I contacted Laurie because she came highly recommended in one of Facebook groups. I was dealing with pelvic floor issues and leaking after birth. She has a deep knowledge about the pelvic floor.
She showed me passive and active exercises for pelvic floor health and strengthening the muscle layers and shared with me some "tricks" and tips how to stop leaking in certain situations. I felt that our work together went beyond after birth care. She informed me about importance of pelvic floor through out our lives. I would recommended working with Laurie not only if you have pelvic floor issues, but in general to potentially prevent any future problems.
Laurie’s training required work also from my side. It took some time and commitment from my part to see results. After we stopped working I could see some results - although I haven't stopped leaking completely - my issue improved dramatically.
She also reminded me to really give myself time that my body heals after birth (I am now 9 months postpartum). I felt that Laurie is easy to connect to, really pleasant and caring and what is important to me, she is always on time.
... I was looking for a lactation consultant who could help me to ease the terrible pain I had while breastfeeding, and I ended up having a two-hours postnatal care that was mostly about me and my emotional and physical comfort.
Laurie Reinke as a postpartum doula made magic with me, after the session I felt relieved, relaxed, confident and fresh. I highly recommend these kind of TLC postpartum sessions for newborn mums, we totally deserve it and it helps a LOT!
"I reached out to Laurie looking for help to strengthen my pelvic floor muscles, but she taught me so much more.From the beginning Laurie established a safe space for me to share my experiences as a new mother and a woman. Her experience was evident through her knowledgeable words and guidance during each of our meetings. She was ready to answer my questions and provided me with information about further exercises and activities.
With Laurie, I learned how to know and communicate with my body as well as my soul."

It has been wonderful working with Laurie so far in taking stock of personal and professional challenges both as expat and as new mother. It is a great aid to have someone 'hold space' for me, to have an objective and neutral ear, but also someone who listens and assists on a soul/spirit level. I was able to already make progress in a short time with fundamental wellbeing issues. I can highly recommend!
Laurie has been a life saver to me and our little family. I would highly recommend her to a friend and hope she is available when baby #2 comes around. Laurie puts the Mother as her top priority. It is such a tender time, especially as a first time Mom away from home, Laurie has been a huge part in the recovery process and a source of confidence as I find my own way to Mother.

Vor der Geburt habe ich komplett unterschätzt, wie anstrengend die erste Zeit mit Baby sein kann, wenn der Partner Vollzeit arbeiten muss. Ich war sehr froh, als Laurie kam und mit Unterstützung wie leckerem gesunden Essen und Massagen half, dass ich genug Energie für den Alltag mit Baby hatte und wir drei so auch mehr Zeit hatten zu genießen, dass wir nun eine Familie sind.
