Laura is a NARM Certified Professional Midwife with her bachelor's degree in midwifery from Mercy In Action College of Midwifery. She began birth work in 2014 as a birth doula, CLC, placenta encapsulator, and postpartum doula. She knew from a very young age that her calling was to serve families through birth work, but before starting midwifery school in 2018 she worked full time in healthcare as a surgical assistant and administrative manager. She has had the opportunity to gain diverse clinical experience in a variety of birth settings including 4 different states, several homebirth practices, and 2 birth centers. She moved to Las Vegas in 2022, and lives with her girlfriend, daughter, 3 dogs, and cat. As a proud member of the queer community, she has a special passion for supporting LGBTQIA+ birthing families. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, cooking, swing dancing, and exploring nature with her family. In addition to supporting local families with the highest level of inclusive in-home care, she aspires to do medical missions in low resource countries.
At Las Vegas Midwife we only work with birth assistants that are certified in the national Neonatal Resuscitation Protocols, and competent in assisting emergencies. Our typical birth team consists of a midwife and 1-2 birth assistants.
We LOVE doulas! There is lots of evidence to support the benefits of hiring a doula. Las Vegas is blessed with many incredible doulas that can enrich your pregnancy and birth experience. We have a few favorites that we happily help our clients facilitate connection with.
It can be overwhelming when looking for specific resources during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. We have compiled a comprehensive list of resources for our clients that includes classes, care providers, birth pool rentals, and much more!
