: About Me

Lani Axman finished her studies in English and editing at Brigham Young University in 2003. Following the birth of her second daughter, Lani put her pen to work for her newfound passion—childbirth advocacy. In 2007, Lani created her blog, Birth Faith, where she continues to share her thoughts and research, followed by thousands of readers each week. Lani became trained as a birth doula through DONA International in 2009 and looks forward to attending births when her children are older. For the past two years, she has worked with several other collaborators in writing the soon-to-be-released book, The Gift of Giving Life.  In the final stages of the book project, Lani has put her editing skills to work heavily. She knew her college education would prove useful someday! Though she loves writing, she is first and foremost a mother to four beautiful children and wife to her best friend, Reid.
