About Me

Hi, I'm Nicole LaCour-Wordlaw! I'm a devoted wife, mother, childbirth educator, certified birth doula, placenta encapsulator, prenatal movement instructor, birth center administrative director, and student midwife. After experiencing the profound beauty of my own home births in 2008 and 2010, I was inspired to dive deeper into birthwork. I earned my BFA in Dance from UCLA and became a Certified Dancing for Birth™ Instructor in 2014, incorporating movement and body awareness into pregnancy and labor support. I completed my doula training in 2012 and have had the honor of supporting families in hospitals, birth centers, and homes. I've also helped manage multiple birth centers across Los Angeles since 2007, and I began my journey as a student midwife in late 2023.

My approach is rooted in the belief that every person is the expert on their own body, values, and lived experience. Support and education are tools meant to inform and empower—not direct or override—so you can make decisions that feel aligned with your needs, culture, and circumstances. Whether you desire minimal intervention, medical support, or something in between, my role is to walk alongside you, provide evidence-based information, and support your right to choose your own path. Postpartum, I focus on continuity of care, rest, and holistic support, creating a space where families feel seen, heard, and respected as they transition into this new phase.

As a third-generation Los Angeleno, I feel incredibly blessed to offer my heart, hands, and knowledge to expectant families. When I'm not immersed in birthwork, I cherish time with my husband of 20 years and our two amazing teenagers. I find joy in nature, blending essential oils, traveling, music, and attending vibrant art events.
