Laura Shanley is a writer, speaker and author of the book Unassisted Childbirth.  She and her husband of 31 years, David, live in Boulder, Colorado within shouting distance of their four children, John (29), Willie (27), Joy (25) and Michelle (21), all of whom were born at home, unassisted.  Laura is widely known as the “godmother” of the unassisted birthing movement, and has been interviewed for print media, radio, television and film throughout the world.  She maintains a web site devoted to the topic, www.unassistedchildbirth.com, and periodically writes about the joys, trials and tribulations of being an unassisted birth activist in her blog, www.laurashanley.blogspot.com. Laura has yet to tire of talking, reading, and thinking about the miracle of birth.
