I met both Dr. Stu and Blyss years ago, just before they changed course to what they are doing now. I was born and mostly raised (till 15) in Montreal, Canada, and moved here with my mom and sister in 1992. I met my husband 6 months later which was unexpected!I took Ellie Shae's doula training in 2000, graduated nursing school at LACC (Los Angeles City College) in 2005, and worked nights in L&D at Cedars from 2005-2018 when I graduated from midwifery school at Frontier Nursing University. I worked at GraceFull Birthing Center first and then started a private solo practice offering both home birth and hospital birth. In 2020 I took on a partner midwife and we launched Los Angeles Midwives which is where I am currently practicing.I am so happy to now be able to offer a close enough version of ideal care to the clients that find me. I have 5 sons ages 23!!!, 19!!, 14,14 (twins), and 18 months old. 2 hospital births (Kaiser West LA, Cedars), one birth center (The Hollywood Birth Center), and my grand finale at home!My 5-year plan includes growing my practice, normalizing physiologic birth in the hospital, normalizing and streamlining the home-to-hospital transfer experience, and supporting other midwives to offer this type of care here in LA."This show is supported by:Splash Blanket | Visit splashblanket.com and use the code BIRTHINGINSTINCTS for 11% off your orderLMNT | Go to drinklmnt.com/birthinginstincts to get a free sample pack with every orderNeeded | Use code BIRTHINGINSTINCTS to save 20% off your one-time order or first three months' subscription OR use code BIRTHINGINSTINCTS100 for $100 off the first three months of a plan at thisisneeded.com.Follow Naomi:Website: losangelesmidwives.com Instagram: @losangelesmidwives Connect with Dr. Stu:Instagram: @birthinginstinctsWebsite: birthinginstincts.comConnect with Blyss:Instagram: @birthingblyssWebsite: birthingblyss.comThis show is produced by Soulfire ProductionsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
