Meet Lacy Anderson- Owner of UP Family Doula
MEET THE HEART & SOUL BEHIND UP FAMILY DOULA CARE
Hi! My name is Lacy Anderson!
Adding a new baby to the family creates a lot of emotions and a ton of new experiences. As a Doula and mom one of my passions is to help other parents feel empowered and well supported on as they go through this incredible journey! We all need support, love, and encouragement to grow!
One of my core values is to be there for others in whatever way I can. Many people have said my strongest personality trait is, I "always show up with dedication and love." You will find that my core value shines through in all things that I do. A question you will often hear me ask is; "How can I support you? or "How can I help?"
One of the most common questions I get asked is "Why did I become a Doula?"
Well truthfully I didn't know I wanted to become a "Doula" until after I researching what a Doula while pregnant with my second. It was a life changing moment, I looked at my husband and said "OH MY GOSH YES! As soon as I'm ready after this baby that is exactly what I want to do with my life!!" And I did!
Looking back now, even as a teen I was doing different roles of a Doula, like supporting families during pregnancy, being there during labor and helping educate others about child development. It felt like a dream come true that I could do that in a professional role to help support more families!
A little bit about my life as a M.W.D. "Mom, Wife, Doula!"
I have three very active, wonderful children; Caleb, Ariella and Winslow. I also have two cats. My favorite color is Glow in the Dark, lol I know its not technically a color but I still love it! During the warmer months you'll find that my family and I are usually out camping, fishing, or exploring the world. My husband and I get a little competitive over who can catch the most fish. lol
Our family spends a of time together learning and growing as I homeschool my littles. A couple of my favorite indoor things to do is, listening to a good audiobook or inviting friends and family over for a meal and to play games.
Quality family time is incredibly important to me, whether that's me with my family or helping others get to have that time with their family. It is one of the many reasons I love being a Doula!
Fun Fact: I do NOT like chocolate or coffee! lol
Every heartbeat, every tiny movement, every new life—each is a reminder of how fearfully and wonderfully we are created. It’s a joy to celebrate this miracle with the families I serve.
