Lisa is a Bradley Method instructor and DONA approved Birth Doula Trainer who has been with Gentle Birth Care from the start!

I began my journey into birth work in 2007, after the birth of my first child. I had a planned hospital birth with midwives and felt so empowered that I was inspired to help other families. Five months later, I became a certified postpartum and labor support doula through DONA.

I have always valued care that is client-centered, holistic, and nonjudgmental. My passion lies in empowering women to make their own informed decisions about their pregnancy and birth, and through working with Gentle Birth Care I am able to do just that!
