Get Real. Get Inspired.
THE BIRTH CLASS
If you’re pregnant for the first time or needing to give this next pregnancy some loving attention and looking to have your birth "plan" figured out, get on the same page as your partner, and get your mindset aligned for birth while feeling calm and grounded than you already know that....
birth matters! Every birth is sacred and has its own unique story. I believe it's crucial to Design Your Dream Birth because the truth is, sh*t happens when it comes to birth. The words "Birth" and "Plan" don't belong in the same sentence. However, we need to do our best to prepare for anything, whether it's your first birth or your last birth. Dream it up! Birth is intense and it's important to give some time to prepare for what's ahead so you can relax especially in these uncertain times. If you haven't heard....Women are reclaiming their postpartum time by planning all the ways they can nourish and heal themselves in the weeks after birth. Let me support you by having these conversations with you and your partner because the postpartum we can plan.
By the end of this program,
you will have…

Inspiration to Give Birth
Be reminded of the power of oxytocin, the love hormone. Oxytocin rules labor with strong contractions. There's an old saying, "What get's the baby in, gets the baby out." (if ya know what I mean.) -
Birth Mindset Road Map
Get your daily repeat thoughts to be positive and intentional. Train your brain to mellow out! Most women work through fears as they go through pregnancy, birth and having a new baby. It's important to explore our fears in order to dream. -
Planned Birth Location
Where are you planning to birth? Learn about birthing options like hospitals, free standing birth centers, and home birth. -
Plan for Support
Who will be with you at the birth? What are the Covid protocols at your planned birth location? Who wants to make food for you in the first days and weeks after the birth? Your community wants to support you, so let them! -
Dream Birth Template
Have your "birth plan" in hand for your birth providers and family members. It's ok to Dream Big......like water birth with dolphins?! (Ok maybe too far.) This is your birth- YOU DO YOU. The truth is, you'll do whatever you need to do to get that baby in your arms. Your birth will likely not be like anything you imagined and that's important to understand. So let's check off all the things you might want... -
Postpartum Plan Template
Postpartum, this we can plan! Postpartum is often the most tender, heart opening experience and families are oozing with love and wonder. Often the world pauses and slows down for the family to care for this new tiny baby. It's a very special time. There are many other moments too... Let's have some Real Talk about the realities of breastfeeding, healing and hormones. Let's have some Real Talk with our partners about how much help you will really need after the birth. Prepare! Make agreements and talk about expectations. It can make a huge difference.

I can’t wait for you to join
The Birth Class
I want everyone to have a midwife!
Supporting families through the childbearing year is so amazing. I'm excited to help you! It's beautiful to witness the perfection of our bodies through birth. It's emotional, messy, expansive, hormonal, and miraculous.
It's true love.

"Laura helped me plan for the birth of my babies by meeting my partner and I where we were at and supported my own empowerment with information, resources, and so much warmth. I came away knowing that there were many options that I had control of in birth and postpartum and how to prepare for the moments when being in control may not be possible."
- Alder Saracino
"For me, designing my birth plan was a way to soothe my worried pregnancy mind. If I could plan for trying to do all the things I felt safest for my baby, then I knew I could feel some ease. With Laura's help, I entered my first birth with a calm mind and was so confident in giving birth naturally. It was so important to us to have our 2 year old be part of his brother's birth, my midwives really supported this and helped the dream become reality for us!
- Kristi Iacovelli
"My labor and immediate postpartum care was not at all what I expected or necessarily wanted, but it was everything I needed. This truth continues to unfold and shape my healing even two years later. Having my midwife Laura every step of the way, allowed me to lay 'expectation' at my feet and be guided through the process with the upmost care. Whole body care- the physical, emotional, and spiritual realm nurtured. You can not put a price on that type of altruistic love."
- Eileen Rogers

Midwife Real Talk
I'm not going to sugar coat anything. You need to be as informed as possible and empowered to know you have choices. For example, it's important to know breastfeeding can be hard and you will have moments of feeling trapped under a baby....it's the reality. Parenthood can be amazing, demanding, horrible, and the best thing you have ever done.....all in 10 minutes! So it makes you feel nuts and you need to know....you're not alone...that's how most people feel.
