Online Physiologic Birth Training for L&D RNs – January 22, 2026

Transform Birth Outcomes: The Essential Physiologic Birth Masterclass Every L&D Nurse Needs

Birth can be beautiful, powerful, and physiologic, and YOU play a huge role in making that possible. This 8-hour live, online training was created for labor & delivery nurses who are ready to elevate their practice, change outcomes, and feel more confident at the bedside, although all birth professionals are welcome (yes, doulas, you too!).

Stop feeling stuck when labor stalls or you don’t know what to do next to encourage labor progress. Instead, walk away with the tools, strategies, and confidence to optimize the body for a physiologic birth, reduce unnecessary interventions, and help families have the safe, empowered birth they (and you) want.

You’ll earn 8 contact hours of continuing education (CEs) while learning evidence-based, hands-on skills you can use on your very next shift. Over 6,000 birth professionals have already transformed their practice through this class, join the movement to Change the Game in obstetrics through our nursing care.

You have never been to an online nursing training like this!

What You’ll Learn

• Strategic positions for labor – Optimize fetal positioning & progress for both pts with and without an epidural
• The hormones of labor – How to support the natural process
• Pelvis & pelvic floor mechanics – Using anatomy to guide positioning & techniques
• Identifying & treating asynclitism/OP
• Labor dystocia & arrest of descent – Interventions to help prevent C-sections
• Closed-knee pushing – why it works!
• Trauma-informed care & communication
• Case studies & therapeutic communication

Why This Class Is Different

Made by L&D Nurses, for L&D Nurses: This isn’t a generic academic course. It’s built and taught by labor and delivery nurses who truly understand your workflow, your time pressures, and the emotional weight of bedside care. It’s education that feels real, relevant, supportive, and easy.

Interactive, Engaging, and Energizing: This is a live, online training filled with visuals, demos, multiple camera angles, models, group discussions, hands-on activities plus Sarah Lavonne’s engaging education style that keep you engaged and energized for the full 8 hours.

Evidence-Based and Real-World: Everything we teach is grounded in evidence and designed for the realities of the hospital. You’ll learn positioning strategies, how to support labor hormones, how to identify malpositions like asynclitism and OP, how to manage labor dystocia, and how to navigate the real challenges you face on your unit.

More Than Training: A Catalyst for Culture Change: Yes, you’ll gain bedside skills. But you’ll also leave with advocacy tools and scripts to help shift practice patterns on your unit, reduce unnecessary interventions, and support more physiologic births (with and without an epidural).

Your Foundation for Advanced Growth: This class is your springboard into advanced learning like our PUSHING class and others (coming soon!) as well as any future OB learning. It lays the foundation you need to grow in confidence, skill, and leadership as you continue to elevate birth outcomes.

No more feeling overwhelmed and stuck if labor stalls. With the right tools, you can educate, triage, and advocate for physiologic birth, helping more patients achieve the safe vaginal births they want while reducing cesareans and complications.

💡 Your patients deserve a nurse who is an expert in birth. We want to help you level up your skills on how to support physiologic birth.
