Summary

Hello, I'm Laurie. I'm passionate about childbirth and teaching. With experiencing 4 natural births of my very own, having over 8 years of experience guiding families to successfully birth their children, and 7 years as a doula; I truly understand physiological birth. I'm outgoing, enthusiastic, and kind. A resourceful educator, experienced in developing learning environments for students to build confidence and enhance their knowledge. Driven to ensure students feel confident meeting their birthing goals within the class time allotted. Aim to leverage knowledge of healthcare coverage, with labor and delivery options, to assist clients in reaching their ultimate childbirth experience. Well versed and capable in teaching both in person or virtually. Take pride in being a hardworking multitasker, focused on giving every client a positive and memorable experience.
