Certain moments in life require complete presence, safety, and dedicated support. Whether you are experiencing birth, facing a personal crisis, undergoing a major transition, or confronting death, these pivotal events transform us.

Milk & Mycelium offers education and support throughout these significant transitions. We operate at the intersection of full-spectrum doula care, natural medicine education, and community advocacy. We believe true healing occurs when we honor our bodies’ wisdom and our connection to the living world.

Holding Space for Life's Great Thresholds

We do not impose rigid structures or direct your personal journey. In deeply vulnerable spaces or non-ordinary states of consciousness, we cannot guarantee you will return unchanged.

Instead, we act as a steady support and dedicated companion. We provide thorough preparation, non-judgmental presence, and integration support to help you make informed choices. All offerings are grounded in reproductive justice, harm reduction, and community care.

The Philosophy of Companionship

We view education as an interconnected ecosystem.

Our 12-week guided courses are collaborative group experiences, featuring course material curated by trusted providers, specialists, and educators to create a comprehensive experience. By bringing together these diverse perspectives, multidisciplinary insights, and practical expertise, we ensure that you receive holistic guidance. This comprehensive model grants you direct access to an enduring community and a deeper network of knowledge, empowering you with the tools, confidence, and continuous support needed to thoughtfully develop, integrate, and apply these practices in your daily life.

Our Approach to Immersive Learning

Individual Care & Dedication

While our educational programs draw on collective wisdom, I personally provide all individual full-spectrum services, birth doula care, and transition support. When you book personal or threshold care, I am your dedicated companion.

My name is Lauren, and I founded Milk & Mycelium to bridge gaps in community care. Before pursuing this calling, I spent 12 years in the technology sector specializing in operations and customer success. This experience enables me to bring clarity, safety, and intentionality to complex spaces.

My practice is rooted in professional accountability and respect for both modern medical standards and culturally rooted and Indigenous care traditions. I completed comprehensive training at the Allo Doula Academy as a full-spectrum doula, which prepared me to support clients through birth, postpartum care, bereavement, and transition work.

I also hold specialized, trauma-informed training from Fluence and Psychedelic Support. This enables me to provide responsible preparation and integration education for those exploring natural medicine and intentional non-ordinary states.
