In 2004, Dani Lasher created her first support network for pregnant women. Over the last 17 years, Dani's commitment to the most magical beings on earth (women) has been evident through her educative programs covering menstrual concepts and childbirth training. As a mother of five, Dani keeps busy running her business from home while writing for several reputable publications and homeschooling her children. Besides birth, she is passionate about snowstorms, sushi, and is always up for learning. Dani wants her students to know and understand important information that could make or break their birth plans. She often says, "You don't know what you don't know - and that's what could hurt you."
She believes the most critical part of the learning process for her students is comprehending expectations and putting that knowledge into practice. Dani desires for all her students to be and feel equipped.
Dani encourages women to reclaim their physical autonomy, embrace trust in their body's innate abilities, and welcome the process of birth with bravery! While using evidence-based strategies to make the right choices in prenatal and birthing cases, Dani encourages her students to be fearless during pregnancy and childbirth. With Dani’s professional and caring assistance, women can eliminate their fears and become fierce females. As a professional member of Evidence Based Birth®, Dani receives consistent education on the best practices related to birth. She also partners with MotherboardBirth.

What Dani Does
Dani coaches women on their mindset and unique approach to pregnancy and motherhood. She recognizes these life stages as blessings but also understands that these circumstances can bring struggles and unexpected challenges. Throughout her years of coaching, she has learned that women often need help with reframing their perception of the mother role, especially during the pregnancy phase.
Dani’s BIRTH Circle membership focuses on teaching women how to strategize and apply birthing techniques with an evidence-based birth plan. The membership also encourages women to learn about their legal rights as mothers and how to interpret research to educate themselves.
A major aspect of Dani’s work is educating women to navigate information on these topics so they don’t have to rely on third parties who may only have profitable agendas.
As a mother herself, Dani teaches women from personal experience and as an educator for women, she trains from an academic standpoint. She wants women to not only understand what changes will occur related to their bodies and babies but also the science behind how these transitions happen and why. Dani wants women to walk away from the BIRTH Circle with valuable knowledge of the mechanics of birth - gaining insight and applicable wisdom that no other program can offer. With natural childbirth as the ultimate goal for most of her clients, Dani is filled with joy when her students succeed with her help.
Advocacy and Politicking
Dani's passion for bodily autonomy, evidence-based care, and the right to choose doesn't start and end with prenatal care and birthing. She is mother to an amazing special needs child - now an adult - who was injured by vaccines at two years old. Since then, she has advocated not just for her own children, but everyone else's, too.
