Always an Alchemical Artist

Hi, I’m Lauren!

A quiet & curious child, I was always observing & learning. I both enjoyed & excelled at academics as well as the arts & music, though when it came to learning more, parents & teachers didn’t have answers. So, I sought elsewhere & stumbled upon Metaphysics while in middle school, which introduced me to a whole new world of information & possibilities!

During an unfortunate experience in adulthood where doctors also didn’t have any answers, my only option was to do my own research, & when I discovered & learned what they easily could have, I also learned that modern medicine doesn’t have all the answers (or any answers, actually!) I decided to take the wheel & reclaim responsibility & my sovereignty, which lead me to learning that living & healing holistically is the answer!

The holistic lifestyle inevitably leads to learning about home birth, & after my first birth experience where my “midwife” mislead then abandoned us during birth forcing us to transfer, my mission became crystal clear: I simply could not allow this to happen to others. So here I am, sharing everything I know, so you can live your best, healthiest & happiest life imaginable!

Some Fun Facts

  • I adore motherhood, nurturing family, the home & homestead.
  • I homeschool & unschool, no it’s not “easy,” yes anyone can do it!
  • I intuitively ditched & haven’t used a microwave since 2005, ask me how!
  • I’m barefoot as often as possible, or in barefoot style shoes. Reshaping my ballerina feet!
  • I am a rabbit-hole maven, I can connect all the dots for you & guide you through.
  • I’m familiar with addiction.

More of my birth story…

When I learned about home birth, I knew it was the way to go for me, but also for most women (with the exception of a very few rare cases & conditions). When I became pregnant in 2017, I researched as best I could with the time I had. I hired a “midwife” (actually a medwife), and though something felt off, I attributed it to my nerves, not knowing it was my intuition! She said she supported my holistic lifestyle & promised to adhere to my birth plan. But…she lied! She omitted & withheld life-saving information, abandoned us mid-birth & left us for dead in my living room. I labored for the next 6 days, learning everything I could about unassisted birth. But when I hit a wall with research, I chose to transfer to the hospital as I didn’t know where else to turn, & hadn’t yet learned what a birthkeeper was, so felt I didn’t have any other option besides the hospital.

I was threatened & coerced into a cascade of interventions & ended up with a NICU experience. It was all torturous & traumatizing, & that’s when I vowed, I would not, could not, allow this to continue to happen to others. Once home & healed, I shifted my career to study proper, evidence-based, traditional, physiological birth. Most of which is not taught about in Obstetrics, or even in licensed Midwifery.

I processed & healed our birth trauma then studied under the mentorship of the traditional Midwives of HERBAL & with Breech Without Borders. I’m a lifelong learner & will always continue to learn & grow. To that, if there’s any topic you’d like to discuss, I’m all ears here! I went on to have my second child, my redemptive, free birth / unassisted birth, at home, where birth belongs, under the guidance of Royal Mothering. I now educate, guide, & accompany families to do the same. It will both heal, & empower you, more than you could ever imagine!
