Shootin' the Sh*t with Jess

Laura Smith | Stories of Mid-Wifery, Trust & (Re)Birth


Listen Later

In this episode, Laura shares information about being a certified birthkeeper, homebirth doula, pregnancy coach and postpartum doula. She believes that pregnancy and birth are sacred, natural, physiological experiences of womanhood, and ultimately that they are innate. 

Laura has found that how we are born affects our relationships of trust with both our bodies and Mother Earth. She says “To heal the Earth we must first heal birth”, which is why she has created Mothers of Gaia Birthkeeping. A business with loving intention and a purpose to bring women’s liberation through reconnecting, grounding, and trusting our bodies through the journey of womanhood, so that we can take that newfound intuition and heal the relationships, communities and environments around us.

Laura has a BA in Psychology, completed two 200hr yoga teacher trainings, and has completed a birthkeeping cohort with Elder midwife Whapio Bartlett in which she also studied the use of herbalism and homeopathy in the childbearing year. With a background in multiple wellness industries, Laura includes modalities such as homeopathy, herbalism, breathwork, and meditation to support women as they embark on their own paths to self sovereignty and deepen their relationship of trust with their bodies.
