Laura is a mother, artist, midwife, creative producer and birth activist. She uses her knowledge and experience in the arts together with midwifery to explore new and exciting ways to support autonomy, mental health and human rights through pregnancy and the experience of being a mother and parent. Sam is a mother and a communications specialist who has spent more than a decade working on global creative campaigns and projects. After her son was born, Sam was surprised at how little space there really is to process emotions and connect over these shared and sometimes challenging experiences. She truly believes Maternal Journal goes a long way in addressing the gap.
