A  MOTHER’S

Journey…

A CONTINUUM

A Mother’s Journey is the most sacred path a woman can walk, from the moment she decides she wants to conceive a child. And yet, this spiritual path is often met with numerous medical professionals, rooms full of strangers, conflicting information, inconsistent “care”, pathologization of the female body, and downright barbaric abuse in pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

I owned and operated a holistic doula agency for 10+ years in Chicago, and I have witnessed the trauma that most healthy women and babies experience within the medical and licensed midwifery system. I saw women with hopeful natural-birth-plans and “perfect charts” become the victims of drugs and unnecessary intervention. I saw fear and coercion used throughout pre-conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

But I knew then, and I know now: it doesn’t have to be this way.

That is why I became the other option for women in the motherhood continuum. As a Radical Birthkeeper and a wise woman in all phases of a Mother’s Journey, I vow to be the consistent, loving, empowering, and reliable holistic sister throughout your entire walk to motherhood.

A TRULY FULL-SPECTRUM

Offering of Love

CONSCIOUS CONCEPTION | PREGNANCY | BIRTH | POSTPARTUM | BEYOND

Our work together begins in the sweet time of pre-conception and fertility. As a long-time student of this portal, and a mother with personal experience in the challenges and heartbreaks of fertility journeys, I am here to support you in creating a healthy and vibrant conscious conception.

We will continue our work together once you become pregnant, and begin your Holistic Pregnancy Connection Sessions. These 8-10 moons will be a profound firewalk for some, a complete unraveling for others, and a joyous awakening for others (and for most - all of the above!). This sacred time is an excellent opportunity to plan for your dream birth and postpartum, to receive radical education, and for us to get to know each other more intimately leading up to your birth.

By the time you are in your birthing season, we will have spent nearly a year (or more) together. As your Radical Birthkeeper, I enter your birthspace with 100% non-medical support that is tied to no licensing or certification agency - you are the only authority to dictate my presence in your birth. Your wild birth will not involve strangers, standard procedures, diagnostics/monitoring, or intervention of any kind from me - just a trusted, wise sister and sacred birth expert who you have come to know & trust deeply.

As you integrate the incredible high of your free & empowered birth experience, I will support your First 40 Days Postpartum through loving care, physiological support with traditional healing practices, newborn education & support, and anything else you may need during the healing portal of newborn motherhood.

At the end of our time together, I will wrap you in love and ceremony one final time, and you will walk forth into motherhood guided by the most incredibly intelligent, all-knowing compass: your awakened intuition.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

1:1 Radical & Holistic Support

You will receive bi-monthly Support Sessions of 60 minutes throughout your entire fertility journey. During pregnancy, we will meet up to 16 times for Holistic Pregnancy Connection Sessions of 2+ hours. Finally, in postpartum you will receive 6 sessions of nurturing care during your healing time.

Hands-On Care and Bodywork

Reiki and Reflexology are core values of my loving practice, as I serve the women in my community physically, emotionally, and spiritually. These offerings will be available during all of our in-person sessions, at any point on your journey.

Ceremony and Sacred Ritual

The Motherhood Continuum deserves more than study, education, and body-care. Each unique portal of the continuum is an opportunity for ceremony and ritual. I offer my clients Closing of the Bones Ceremonies, Women’s Circles, and more.

On-Call Radical Birthkeeping

From around 38 weeks onward, I will be on-call for you 24/7 as your Radical Birthkeeper. My presence in your space is entirely up to you, if you feel the calling for a loving sister to be near. I will be the confident, ceremonial, supportive energy that you deserve during birth.

“It felt like Lara was a real big sister who wholeheartedly cared about my well-being in every aspect. Her birth preparation class was fantastic. There are no words for this type of loving support and how it protects and nourishes a new mamas mind, body, and spirit. Hire her!!! It will be the best thing you spend your money on in preparation for baby. Family and friends have remarked on how confident and calm I am as a new mama, and I swear it’s largely due to Lara.”

FAQs

  • Let’s chat! I am happy to support you starting from any point in the continuum, and your investment will be adjusted accordingly.

  • This is your journey, sister. You get to decide what kind of support you need at any given moment. I am still happy to work with you throughout your journey. I will, however, not be present at your birth as a Doula should you choose to invite a licensed provider into the space. Let’s talk about your unique needs and create a plan.

  • No. I am not a licensed medical or midwifery professional of any kind, and I am therefore unregulated in how I support women. You should always seek medical support if you feel you need it.

  • Yes. If you are outside of my in-person service area (Louisville, KY.) I offer all phases of A Mother’s Journey virtually as well. As a virtual client, I cannot offer you hands-on care such as reflexology, bodywork, or in-home postpartum support, and thus your investment will be adjusted accordingly.
