Luminous Heart Doula
Birth Doula Support in Southwest Florida + Online Birth Preparation for Families Everywhere
Compassionate birth doula support for families throughout Southwest Florida, alongside the Birth, From Fear to Trust™ online program created for expectant mothers worldwide.
Introducing the Birth, From Fear to Trust™ Journey
Birth, From Fear to Trust™ is my signature 12-week guided journey for women who desire a more mindful, connected approach to pregnancy, birth, and the transition into motherhood.
Rather than simply preparing for labor, this journey invites you to cultivate presence, deepen trust in yourself, strengthen your connection with your body, and approach birth with greater confidence and calm.
Through guided teachings, meditations, nervous system practices, embodied movement, reflection, and practical birth preparation, you'll be gently supported week by week as you move from fear toward trust.
Whether you're planning a home birth, birth center birth, or hospital birth, this journey is designed to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to yourself every step of the way.
Ready to begin your journey?
Birth is more than a moment—it's a transformation.
Available worldwide through self-paced online learning.
Discover how mindfulness, mindset & nervous system support, and practical comfort tools can help you prepare for pregnancy, birth and motherhood with greater confidence and trust.
LAUNCHING SEPTEMBER 2026
About Kori
Birth work found me through a deep calling to support women during one of life’s most powerful transitions.
I believe birth unfolds best when a woman feels safe, informed, and supported. My role is to provide grounded presence so you can move through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood with confidence and trust in yourself.
My approach blends:
nervous system awareness
emotional grounding
intuitive presence
partner inclusion
practical comfort techniques
I am not here to direct your birth.
I am here to support you as you birth your way.
Birth is not just a physical event. It is a threshold. A becoming. A remembering of your strength.
I am here to walk beside you with grounded presence so you feel safe, informed, and deeply supported as you prepare to meet your baby.
There is no single right way to give birth. There is only your way.
