Let’s get real for a second,
okay?
TELL ME IF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR?
The narratives about cesarean birth are always really negative.
A lot of people make it seem like cesarean birth is one you have no control over.
You've seen beautiful cesarean videos, but aren't sure how to chase your own.
You're discouraged by the nonstop rhetoric about cesarean birth being a place where all of your empowerment is lost?
I SEE YOU, FRIEND — AND I KNOW WHAT IS TRUE.
A beautiful cesarean birth can happen for anyone (including you). I've seen all kinds of birth stories and I've lived 4 of my own - and I am entirely comfortable telling you that the non-stop negative narratives are not the only ones. There are good, positive, “you totally rocked it” and “that was so gorgeous” cesarean birth stories - and this guide is going to teach you that exact truth.
Repeat after me
Cesarean birth can be beautiful birth.
Cesarean birth can be good birth.
Cesarean birth can be something I love - and want to do over and over again.
better birth starts right here.
Empowered birth begins with you. You've got to learn, to dig, to lean in. You've got to look at what scares you and say “I know who you are and I know what to do with you.” You've got to decide that come what may, you have the team & the tools to meet it with confidence, calm, and power. You've got to realize that empowered cesarean births don't just happen - they're the result of your hard work, starting today, right now.
01
Build your birth squad
You know what? If you had to, I think you could do this alone. But I don't want you to. With my guide, you'll find a variety of tools and education related to creating a team that knows how to show up + support this process - exactly as you need them to.
02
know the process
How much do you actually know about the operating room? How it could look, how long it could take, how to make it yours? What about recovery? What can you expect?Let me tell you - so you and your team know exactly how to do this.
03
understand your body
What if you start laboring? What if your water breaks? What needs to happen in the OR? Why? And what will that body be doing once your baby is here?
04
fill your toolkit
Once you've got that mind, heart, and team ready, you gotta fill that toolkit. Cesarean birth can be hard - even when it's wildly beautiful. The guide will give you all the tools - and you'll be able to confidently use what you need to when you need to.
DID YOU KNOW…
Over 75% of women fear childbirth
—you don't have to be one of them.

Ok, so how can i have a birth like this?
The birth experience this guide wants to give you has been crafted after seeing hundreds and hundreds of births (in and out of the OR), (accidentally) delivering a few patients, and being a birthing mama 4x myself. This is real knowledge, built from real patients and real stories. And you can have it. Everyone deserves an experience that feels intimately, deeply and beautifully yours - and I want the guide to give that to you. You can begin your journey towards that experience, right now, for only

MEET THE nurse + mama — LO mANSFIELD
I live for the spark in your eyes when you realize that you actually can do the things everyone told you that you could.
Once upon a time I was a labor + postpartum nurse delivering multiple babies a week and crazy in love with all of it. If you want to meet someone who knows their passion in life? You found them - and my passion is you and your stories. However, when I started having my own babies, my own mama died. And that season of grief took me from the bedside and into my own healing and growth as a new mama.
But I missed you - so much. So 4 kids and a few years later, I built TLM, the resource I think everyone deserves as they head into #mamalife. In all that I do, you're getting unbiased, evidence-based, intuition-centered education. No slants, no “this is the way it's always been,” no best ways to do anything. I trust you to take information in and make the decisions that are right for your body, your baby, and your family.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
It's time to take your birth story back into your hands.
