Hi there! I'm Lisa...
am a mother of two, wife, doula, mentor, and at heart, an ambassador of love, seeking all opportunities where I can share love and hold space for others. It has brought me great joy and fulfillment to follow my heart’s calling to serve those traveling the hero’s journey of parenthood. I received this calling after having emerged from my own challenging entrance into this new, unknown realm after the birth of my first child. It was from this profound experience that my desire to study and offer supportive and compassionate care for others first began. It has only continued to grow over the years and it's been such a gift to connect with so many wonderful families through this empowering work! I offer a holistic, heart-centered and mindful approach to offering support and my utmost intentions are to listen, hold space and offer loving guidance, wherever you may be on your own intimate journey. I truly believe that we each hold the wisdom within to our deepest desires when we connect with our truth and inner knowing. I'm here to be of support to you, as we travel the path of your incredible birth and postpartum journey. I offer a variety of services including birth and postpartum doula services, ceremonial workshops for postpartum healing, reiki energy healing and Birthing From Within™ childbirth education classes. I have experience supporting clients in all types of settings including hospitals, birth centers and homebirth, as well as, experience supporting vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), planned and unplanned cesarean birth and birth of multiples.
Most recently, I feel so fortunate to have partnered with another seasoned doula named Katie Slack of Sacred Waters Birthing Services. Katie and I first met each other at a Childbirth Collective meeting and instantly connected over our shared love and beliefs around this sacred birthing time for families. We informally started supporting each other as back up doula support for approximately two years before we decided it made most sense to start serving our families more formally in a true partnership model. This model has been such a gift in offering care from a collaborative place and one that our families are enjoying, as both Katie and I bring various skills, trainings and knowledge to this work. In our partnership model, you get an opportunity to get to know both of us through the prenatal time, as well as, receive support from that important village feeling component during the postpartum period.
In our free time outside of this important work and nurturing our own families, Katie and I enjoy checking out new coffee shops together where we talk about even more birthy things and also love connecting with other birthworkers in the community at various on-going trainings and events.
It would be a privilege to be of service to you!
With love, Lisa and Katie
