About me
Hello, my name is LaShaan Crane. I am a Certified Nurse Midwife, Registered Nurse, childbirth educator, yoga teacher and wellness practitioner with more than 15 years of experience in women’s health, pregnancy, and postpartum care. My practice is rooted in compassion, evidence-based care, and a deep commitment to closing the gaps that too often impact BIPOC and LGBTQ+ parents. I believe every family deserves care that feels safe, affirming, and culturally grounded. My approach blends clinical expertise with trauma-informed support, nervous system tools, and clear, accessible education to help you navigate all the unknowns in the threshold of birth and beyond. I aim to create a space where identity, lived experience, and your voice are fully seen. It is a privilege to walk alongside families on this transformative journey.

Working with LaShaan is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. She has a rare gift for creating truly sacred, emotionally safe space. She makes the kind of environment where you immediately feel seen, held, and deeply supported. Every session with her feels intentional and nourishing, from the way she guides you into your body to the thoughtful details she weaves into the experience. Her presence is grounding and masterful. I left feeling more connected to myself, more resourced, and genuinely cared for. I’m already looking forward to future sessions with her.

Frequently asked questions
What do you offer?
I provide virtual pregnancy support, postpartum integration, birth story processing, my full-pregnancy EMBODIED pathway, and selective in-person labor support. All offerings blend clinical midwifery expertise with somatic tools, nervous system regulation, ritual, and emotional grounding.
What’s the difference between a virtual session and EMBODIED?
Virtual sessions are one-off appointments for specific needs.
EMBODIED is a full-pregnancy pathway with ongoing support, deeper preparation, somatics, ritual, and a 10-session structure.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Most programs and packages can be paid monthly or in extended plans when needed. Care should feel accessible, not stressful.
Do you attend births?
Yes, selectively. I offer a Birth Ceremony + Labor Support Package for families wanting continuous in-person support. Availability is limited and separate from other offerings
Does EMBODIED replace my OB? When should I start EMBODIED?
No. EMBODIED is a co-care model.
You still receive all medical care from your primary provider, and I support you with interpretation, context, grounding, and preparation. Think of it as adding a clinical-trained, spiritually rooted guide to your team.
Most families begin between 8–24 weeks, but you can start at any time depending on availability. The earlier you start, the more spacious and integrated the journey becomes.
