Lashaan Crane - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Lashaan

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.

I've personally and professionally known Lashaan for 14 years and I can say with out a doubt that Lashaan's education, experience and intuitive, loving nature will be an absolute blessing to anyone she supports. Her heart expands beyond measure and she is extremely well versed in the preconception, pregnancy and postpartum periods. Her energy and presence is truly a gift!

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

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.

Why EMBODIED?

Because pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are not only medical events, they are thresholds. Many people receive excellent clinical care and still feel: overwhelmed by information, disconnected from their body, unsure how to regulate fear or uncertainty, unprepared for the emotional and nervous-system impact of birth and postpartum. EMBODIED exists to fill that gap. This work centers the felt experience of pregnancy and postpartum; helping you slow down, listen inward, and build trust in your body alongside evidence-based care. Through somatic practices, nervous system regulation, ritual, and clear clinical guidance, EMBODIED supports you to move through this season with more presence, confidence, and integration. People often choose EMBODIED not because something is “wrong,” but because they sense there is more available; more depth, more grounding, more continuity, and more support than standard care alone can offer.

Who is EMBODIED suited for?

EMBODIED is well suited for those who: want preparation beyond logistics and checklists, value both evidence-based care and body-based wisdom, feel sensitive, thoughtful, or deeply impacted by transitions, want continuity and relationship, not just information, re navigating anxiety, past experiences, or big emotional shifts.

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.
