Unmedicated Academy is a birth education curriculum built to change outcomes by preparing women and birth workers to navigate modern birth with confidence and strategy.

Built to change birth outcomes

After multiple hospital births of my own, deep dives into the research, and years supporting women through birth, a clear pattern emerged: women weren’t lacking strength or intuition, they were lacking real preparation and support.

Not just for labor and birth, but for the system they were giving birth in—a system that prioritizes routine, profit, and liability over individualized support for women.

It wasn’t until I became a doula that everything clicked, I finally saw how much behind-the-scenes knowledge it actually takes to support an unmedicated hospital birth. And I realized something that didn’t sit right with me: moms shouldn’t have to become doulas to achieve their birth goals.

about Lizzie

Before birth work, I was a teacher. So I took everything I knew about education, research, and curriculum design and built a birth class that could fill the gap I kept seeing over and over again.

Unmedicated Academy was created to provide doula-level education for moms. Birth education that honors physiology, protects autonomy, and treats women as capable decision-makers, aka the boss because she is.

This work turns up the power women have had all along and gives them the confidence to do birth their way.

Today, our curriculum is used by women preparing for birth and by doulas and birth workers teaching inside their own practices. It is our mission to create more informed families, stronger advocacy, and birth stories that moms love to share.

Unmedicated Academy is born

The podcast is where education meets a real-life yap session with your birth bestie.

We talk physiology, advocacy, hospital systems, informed consent, and the decisions that matter most before, during, and after birth—without sugarcoating, fear tactics, or fluffy advice.

This isn’t your average birth podcast. You’ll hear real birth stories that highlight why preparation matters, straightforward education that cuts through the confusion, and conversations that help women hold power in birth.
