Childbirth Educators

The Kooshlie Education Team

As Kooshlie Care Doula Services grows and expands over time, I have learned that I need to make sure that I have a wonderful resource of educators who can provide backup support and knowledge. They are integral to me being able to confidently serve and support the clients that I take on. Each person that is added to our team brings a new 'flavor' and a new viewpoint as we move forward. 

You are always welcome to reach out to anyone listed below (emails are linked) to learn more about them or to connect directly.

Mara Lubic, BHS, LPN, IBCLC

I started this company in the summer of 2019 to help local mommies obtain the care and assistance they deserve during this beautiful journey of childbirth and lactation. I have four beautiful children, two boys and two girls. You can find me, on most days, at the baseball/softball fields. I enjoy sewing, baking, and hiking with the family during my downtime.

Laurel Smith, Certified Health Coach

As a dedicated healer with over a decade of knowledge and study in holistic healthcare, I bring a warm and thoughtful approach to supporting women and families through their pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journeys. My background as a trained Western herbalist, holistic health coach, and holistic nutritionist allows me to offer comprehensive care rooted in natural therapies. In 2025, I had the profound honor of assisting my sister during her labor, using herbal remedies to support her natural birth experience, which deepened my passion for guiding families through this transformative time with care and expertise.

 

My personal experience as a mother, pregnant with my first child in 2025 and using herbs to nurture my own pregnancy, has given me a heartfelt understanding of the needs of expectant families. I am committed to providing compassionate, individualized support through several modalities: herbal remedies, natural therapies for physical and emotional well-being, herbal plans and packages for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, and tailored nutritional advice, ensuring a nurturing and empowering experience. Whether it’s helping you navigate the beauty of pregnancy naturally or offering natural support for labor and postpartum recovery, I am here to walk alongside you with warmth, dedication, and a holistic approach to wellness.
