Lori Spiker
Certified Postpartum Doula | Newborn Care Specialist | Certified Lactation Counselor
Meet Lori
I grew up in Hutchinson, Kansas, and am a Kansas girl through and through. Kansas sunsets are some of the best in the country!
I'm a certified labor and postpartum doula, certified lactation counselor, and newborn care specialist. I’ve also completed adult/infant CPR. My background is in massage therapy, but once I learned about birth and postpartum doulas, I immediately knew that was the work for me. I’ve always been drawn to babies, small children, and pregnancy in general. I absolutely love that I get to support families during this special time in their lives.
Some of my long-term goals include certifications in infant massage, craniosacral massage for pregnancy/infants, babywearing, and sleep coaching. I also love tiny houses and would absolutely run a tiny house hotel someday. Random, I know! I dream of lots and lots of travel—and to live overseas for at least a portion of my life.
People often say my strengths are my kindness/empathy, dependability, and work ethic. Outside of supporting families, I enjoy reading, gardening, hiking/trail running, and traveling. I'm currently obsessed with learning to bake lots of bread and just getting started with photography!
