Laura's story
Laura Guinnane is an INNATE Traditions postpartum care provider and a student midwife studying under elder midwife Whapio through The Matrona. She is a somatic practitioner, storyteller, and the creator and host of the Embodied Mother Podcast—a space devoted to raw, embodied conversations about birth, trauma, healing, and the sacred journey of motherhood.
Born in Ireland and drawing from her Celtic lineage, Laura lives in deep reverence for the cyclical nature of life. Her path is rooted in feminine wisdom, earth-based practices, and storytelling as medicine. Following the emergency caesarean birth of her son, she was initiated into a powerful reclamation of her body and feminine essence—a process she calls the Wonder in her Wound. This experience awakened her devotion to supporting women in reconnecting with their own innate knowing. She has since refocused her work to support mothers in coming back into connection with their embodied wisdom and pleasure through somatic movement, touch, and sound.
Laura weaves pre and perinatal dynamics throughout her work, bringing awareness to how our nervous systems are shaped from preconception, conception, gestation, birth, and the first three years of life. She supports identifying imprints from this period, known as the primal continuum of life, and using tools to orient back to the original blueprint—where life can thrive.
Now living in northern Thailand, Laura is co-parenting and worldschooling her five-year-old son while seeking the next place for her family to put down roots and grow in community and connection to land. Her work is an invitation into the depths of embodied motherhood—where trauma meets transformation, and the whispers of the womb can once again be heard.
Laura offers 1:1 support for women in all stages of their evolution: cyclical living, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond.
