LAURA WADEK

My name is Laura, I am  34 years old, and I  currently reside in Union, NJ. I spent the majority of my twenties teaching yoga and dance to special needs young adults and left that career path to pursue birth work and womb'n empowerment in 2015.

​

At the age of 22, I was introduced to the birth-work community. I was called away from a college dance rehearsal when I found out that my nephew would be making his earth-side debut. I had the honor and privilege of being in the room during his birth. I was doing what I could to keep my sister in good spirits throughout the labor and birth process. As I observed my surroundings, tended to her needs, and offered my support, I was overwhelmed by a sense of purpose that I could not ignore. 

​

 I began my training to become a certified birth doula in 2015 through DONA International and am a TRAINED BIRTH DOULA.

​

I have always been a nurturer; been drawn to things that involved health and wellness and anything involving the capabilities of the human body. I've studied anatomy and physiology, herbalism, homeopathy, general health and wellness, reiki, nutrition and have spent much of my adult life as a woman getting to know how to balance, work with, and care for my own body. I've personally dealt with infertility and hormone imbalance, and through the knowledge I've acquired over the years, I've been able to  bring my own body into balance so that I feel that it works with me and not against me. I hope to bring some of that depth, commitment and knowledge to your pregnancy and birthing experience so that you can make the most informed decisions built on a foundation of honor, trust and knowledge for you and your growing family! Working with mothers and mothers-to-be  is truly nothing short of a miraculous opportunity to me. I am beyond blessed to do what I do. 

​
Today, I strive to provide my expectant mothers with an HONEST and EMPOWERING birthing experience that they can look back on and draw strength from. Allow me to help you through this amazing time in your life and help you draw upon your innate feminine strength by giving you the informational, emotional and physical support you need along your pregnancy and birth journey!
