Lauren Andronici is passionate about serving women during pregnancy and birth, and whenever they need women’s healthcare. She enjoys working with patients of all ages and believes in women’s power, intuition, and innate ability to navigate childbirth, breastfeeding, and normal lifecycle changes.

As a provider, Lauren is committed to offering excellent, patient-centered care that carefully balances evidenced-based medicine with a profound belief in physiologic birth. She has published research articles on water births and oversees several a month. She believes that, for the right woman, it’s a wonderful way for a mother to achieve the type of delivery she wants.

Patient education is the cornerstone of Lauren’s practice, and she strives to ensure her patients fully understand their own personal medical situations and choices.

Lauren earned a master of science from Oregon Health & Science University and has been practicing as a certified nurse midwife with Vancouver Clinic since 2004.

Outside of work, Lauren enjoys spending time with her husband and their two energetic girls.  She also volunteers for her nonprofit, Ethiopian Orphan Relief, which she helped start in 2008. She travels to Ethiopia every three years to check on projects.
