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™ 12-week self-guided online journey created for expectant mothers worldwide.
Birth, From Fear to Trust™
A 12-week online journey through pregnancy, birth & the transition into motherhood.
We spend so much time preparing for what might happen during birth. But how you feel as you enter birth matters, too.
Birth, From Fear to Trust™ is a self-guided online journey designed to help you slow down, connect with your body, understand your nervous system, and prepare mentally and emotionally for birth.
Through mindfulness, breath, embodiment, reflection, and practical preparation, you'll build tools to help you feel grounded, connected, and ready for whatever arises.
Available virtually, wherever you are.
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.
