Hi! I’m Lisa. First, let me congratulate you on your baby! Every mother, family, and birth are unique. Lets work together to make your labor easier by layer upon layer, learning a new way of approaching birth – educated and well prepared emotionally, mentally and physically. There is a big difference between watching all of the beautiful or informative reels on social media, and really learning how to do this hard work in synchrony with your body. We won’t just talk about readiness, we will practice together in real time, with your preferences and personality in mind, how to be ready. You will develop the muscle memory, your partner will have the tools, and both of you will have the skills to navigate spontaneous natural vaginal birth, unexpected situations, as well as being able to feel as confident as you can during the early days at home with your baby.

I am comfortable in home, birth center and hospital birth settings, and have several years experience as 1st assistant to many midwives in Orange, Riverside and Los Angeles counties. Students and clients have included teens, mothers of multiples, those in very difficult circumstances, and those who require above average flexibility – like sportscasters who travel, radio personalities, and even Bigfoot trackers. (Wild, right!?) One of the achievements I value most is being trusted enough to be invited to be the Doula by my daughter and two daughters-in-law, for five of their own births. I specialize in anticipating what may be needed, and depend not only my training, but intuition gained from decades of experience. Becoming a Bradley® Teacher was a logical and passionate pursuit after my scary first birth. I experienced for myself the difference between an average class and what we offer. Learning how to work with my body made complete sense to me, and the next 3 births proved it.

Feel free to reach out if you have further questions. Most importantly, no matter where or with whom you choose to welcome your little one, my hope is that afterward, you felt safe, empowered, supported, and respected. Birth is an incredible process, and you can do it.
