HOLISTIC SUPPORT
I am Lara Lasky, Holistic Fertility, Birth and Postpartum Doula and Holistic Sage for women taking the courageous leap from maiden to mother. I have traversed the medical system as a public health scientist. I am a certified Holistic Reproductive Practitioner, and an intense love for my herbal ally friends. I have left my mark on that world through my bountiful Doula Agency in Chicago, and have moved back to my hometown of Louisville KY to support women on their life journey.
I offer virtual support through 1:1 coaching and education for women in the motherhood continuum. These 1:1 sessions are sacred spaces for women around the world to process whatever you’re going through, to ask questions that the medical system won’t answer, to hear stories of real women as inspiration, and to learn about the physiological truths of each portal of motherhood.
Read on for my 1:1 virtual offerings and in-person classes…
on your journey
Birth Trauma Debriefs
Process through your birth story in full with a compassionate Radical Birthkeeper who can help you to truly understand what happened, and to hold space for the healing journey after birth trauma of any kind.
Birth Planning & Education
With years of birthwork experience, I will guide and support you as you plan for your empowered birth, including offering birth education to prepare you for an autonomous birth at home, birth center or hospital.
Postpartum Planning & Education
While most women spend pregnancy planning for the birth, it is equally (if not more) important to plan for postpartum. I will help you create a holistic postpartum plan that supports your physiological healing, relaxation, and MotherBaby bonding.
