It questions whether this shift has always served mothers and babies, or if it has, in some cases, distanced them from safer, more holistic care.At the heart of the film is the life and work of midwife and educator Kristine Lauria, whose approach offers a powerful alternative. Grounded in respect, physiology, and evidence-based care, her work challenges conventional models and reimagines what childbirth can look like when autonomy, trust, and continuity of care are prioritized.By waving together global insights with one woman's mission, the documentary invites audiences to reconsider how we bring life into the world, and what it would take to make birth safer, more human, and more empowering for all.https://youtu.be/c8s89X4ttG4?si=kviJvktnJmP0wMwxAgendaπŸ•‘: 09:00 AMDoors Open Info: Arrive, check in, enjoy a light breakfast, and connect!

I am a follower of Jesus Christ, a wife, and a stay at home/homeschool mama of five beautiful children.My personal experience with birth includes both hospital births and homebirth, giving me a deep understanding of the many ways families experience pregnancy and delivery. These experiences opened my eyes to the need for birth support in the Jackson Metro Area leading me to pursue becoming a doula. I dedicate my work to supporting mothers through one of the most transformative seasons of life.I provide holistic, natural-minded birth support while also respecting the importance of evidence-based care and informed decision-making. My approach is calm, grounded in the Holy Spirit, and centered on the individual needs of each family I support. My work is rooted in the belief that the support you receive in birth and postpartum matters." } ] } ] ```
