Hi, I'm Lora

and I’m the Overachieving Childbirth Educator & Doula

And I am absolutely OBSESSED with helping you to have the best birth possible with your partner and baby. That’s why I left outdated childbirth methods behind to teach Evidence Based Birth® that helps smart, data-savvy parents to make the best choices to create the outcome they want for their births.

Smart, fact-focused parents come to me when they’re ready to prepare for the birth of their baby, and there’s one thing they are sure of when they sign up: They’ll be given the best, most current resources possible to help them walk away from their birth feeling heard and empowered, and knowing they made the right calls in the right moments.

And here’s the reason why:

They begin by taking an Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class, from a childbirth educator and doula who is as much of an overachiever as they are. They know they can’t control the outcome of their birth… but they’re confident they can give themselves their best chance possible when they Birth With Knowledge.

They'll walk away having..

An incredible understanding of what labor looks like, what the benefits and risks are associated with various interventions, and a clear plan for how to cope during the various stages of birth.

They walk into their birth..

Feeling prepared and ready to take on what’s coming – and if they need an extra set of hands that knows birth inside and out, they can add on a doula package to get support to experience their birth together with a guiding eye helping them remember things that can be forgotten in the intensity of birth.

This class fills in the gaps

that so many other childbirth classes are missing like:

Strategies and Techniques to provide comfort to a birthing parent.

The knowledge on what to say and how to speak up during your birth.

Knowledge on how to interact with hospital staff for hospital-birthing mothers, or midwives for out-of-hospital births.

What you need to know about working with the culture of maternity units in hospitals, or setting up your own space for birth at home.

The know-how to have the birth you want, whether that’s an unmedicated home birth or an elective cesarean or anywhere in between.

How to be an active participant in your birth, not someone that birth happens to.

And an arsenal of EVIDENCE ready to help you and your partner make the best decisions possible to create the birth experience you want.

It brings me so much joy to be able to bring this class to the Phoenix area and to continue to help give parents the knowledge they need to have a voice in their birth experience.

Here's What My Clients Say:

This class is a total game changer for us. I’d heard negative [birth] stories…I was scared and very on edge. Then once we started taking the class, and when we learned about interventions that I was apprehensive about… It brought us together in that [my partner] understood birth more, and I understood it more. And as soon as I went into labor, we were on. We were a team.

Lora was my saving grace during my first pregnancy! I can’t say enough about her expertise in her birthing knowledge as well as her human compassion and wisdom. My birth was perfect in large part because of her. She will be a life-long friend for years to come!

We absolutely adore and appreciate Lora and all her knowledge! We're due with our first baby in October 2020 and she helped us get through educational evidence based birth classes during the pandemic! I feel more prepared now for the birthing process, what to expect and techniques we can do to help us labor as naturally as possible! Worth every penny 🙂

"I am so glad my partner and I took EBB with Lora. The class really prepared us for childbirth, as first-time parents, we wanted to learn all of our options from place of birth (hospital, birth center, home birth) to interventions used should there be complications. We felt so comfortable with the knowledge we gained that we switched from hospital to birth center birth at 32 weeks and felt confident with our decision because we knew what our choices consisted of. We now have a beautiful birth story because we birthed with knowledge."
