PROVIDING FAMILIES SUPPORT
Hi, I’m Lisa and I’m excited about supporting change for families in Los Angeles.

What Parents Say
TESTIMONIALS
“Partnering with Lisa for postpartum doula support was one of the best decisions we made. As first time parents, there was a steep learning curve for us to get over and her support and knowledge was exactly what we needed. Before our son was born, she did a walk through of our nursery/home and provided recommendations on items to have on hand for when our little one arrived. Once our son was born, our situation was made more challenging with a difficult labor and delivery and an extended NICU stay. “
Stacy & Justin Smet
“Lisa was always prompt and brought a positive, calming attitude and demeanor into our home every night… She went above and beyond by bringing my wife several different homemade teas meant to help stimulate milk production… Having Lisa’s support not only helped us understand the ins and outs of early parenthood but also allowed us to get the much-needed rest during the night so we were fresh each day and could devote our best selves to our daughter during the day.”
Zach & Kristen
Lisa came in to work with our family when I was about 7 weeks postpartum with about a two weeks notice. From the get go, Lisa was incredibly professional. Asked all the right questions to better understand our existing schedule and our family’s needs.
Lisa was always on time, always pleasant, and always professional. As a new mom, there were days where my stress levels were high and she consistently offered a calm place and a smile that instantly made me feel better. Her doula care for a new mom went above and beyond, she made the best post partum treats for healing and breastfeeding. Goodies like hibiscus tea and the most delicious chia seed pudding. Nightly she brought me my pump before my little guy work for his middle of the night feed. I firmly believe my ability to breastfeed for so long was partly because of her support during the middle of the night.
I’m so glad my family was able to work with Lisa. She helped make the 4th trimester much more manageable and I’d recommend a thousand times over.
