Here’s how we prepare you for an empowered birth experience.

1. We establish SAFETY around birth.

We work through any birth trauma from previous births, your birth or births in your lineage. We work on clearing emotions and building your trust and confidence in the ability of yourself, your body and your baby to birth safely. We also spend time connecting to the spirit of your baby to build a tight relationship between you and your baby’s energy so you can be guided from even before conception by your baby which will be carried right through to motherhood. this establishes an unbreakable bond and an easeful mothering journey because you have no doubt in your ability to trust your intuition when it comes to all of your baby’s needs, including how they want to be birthed.

2. We prepare the BODY for birth.

Using my naturopathic clinical skills, we make sure your body is nourished with the right nutrients to give you the strength during and after birth and to make sure you baby is well-nourished too. This is where I will help you identify and restore nutritional deficiencies and optimise your pre and postnatal supplements and nourishment through food as medicine. I will organise any testing you wish and go through results in detail with you and come up with a preconception, pregnancy & postnatal plan to keep you feeling your healthiest.

3. We BUILD your birth TEAM.

Understand the impact of your birth team on your birth outcomes so you can take 100% responsibility for your birth without giving your power away or feeling like you need saving. We go in depth as to what your options for care are, the significant impact of the people you choose to have on your journey and in your birth space and I support you to select with confidence who these people are, whether that includes a GP, OBGYN, midwives, family or friends. You also have myself as your birth keeper the entire journey to ensure your birthing space is protected to achieve the birth outcomes you’re hoping for.

4. We build your birth PLAN.

Your birth prep includes both increasing your knowledge AND your connection to your body and intuition to keep you OUT OF YOUR HEAD and IN YOUR BODY during labour which is KEY.

5. We plan for POSTPARTUM.

Prioritising your needs postpartum and getting the ACTUAL support you need so you can step into motherhood feeling supported, prepared and stress free.

💫 Birth will become something you are excited about and feel completely confident in rather than something you’re dreading.

💫 You will be able to finally heal from your previous traumatic birth experience, feel safe in your body, trust your body and trust the birth process, you will finally be free of the pain from your previous experience.

💫 You will go from feeling like you don’t have a solid plan for your birth to feeling so confident and sure about it you’re ready and excited to birth!

💫 You will realise that the stories you have heard about birth are all wrong and you get to write a new one that is empowering and the most epic moment of your life!

💫 Instead of feeling like you’re winging your postpartum you’ll feel completely set up and taken care of so you can just focus on healing and being with your precious new baby.

💫 Any anxiety you had about birth or becoming a mama will be replaced with confidence and excitement.

Renae’s Story…

“During my pregnancy, Lisa was my idea of a calm and safe person to speak with. She has an approach of caring that is tailored specifically to you. Lisa who helped me build self confidence with speaking up for my needs and turning down ‘common’ interventions that did not align with me. She did this by sharing her immense knowledge on birth statistics, which gave me confidence to question doctors and detach the pressure I felt from them. Lisa guided me through current and well researched information without leaving me feeling overwhelmed.She held that reassurance for me and reminded me to trust myself and my body.”

“Throughout my pregnancy, it was crucial to have these continuous check-ins with Lisa, as it was so easy to trust medical staff and their opinions, even if nothing aligned with my goals. She really helped me stay firm on my goals.”

“During my time of labouring at home, I had Lisa on loudspeaker on my phone and she guided me through my contractions, telling me exactly how to breathe and what noises to make. Her voice was like an angel at the time, and I felt so powerful in that moment. This is the support I needed throughout my whole labour that my midwifes did not provide me.”

“After birth, Lisa checked in with me. She understood how to provide a healthy level of space and support. She ordered me postpartum supplements and made me personalised herbals teas to boost my postpartum recovery. I was so grateful for this because I had zero energy to think of things I needed. I was in survival mode, learning my new baby, my new body, and my new life.”

Hi I’m Lisa

My mission is to support women to remember their innate knowing and power to birth.

My bigger mission is to end this era of birth trauma.

I came to this calling through my own birth experience with my daughter. I had planned for an empowering physiological birth in a birth centre supported by a midwife and my husband. I thought I had done EVERYTHING to prepare for this but what I ended up with was a traumatic unplanned c section.

I was left feeling powerless, full of shame & guilt. I felt a victim to my birth and it set me up for a struggle postpartum especially with breastfeeding.

I knew deep down a homebirth was for me but decided to go against my intuition out of fear and because it wasn't what people around me supported.

What I learnt from my own experience after going on a mission to heal from my trauma was that…

#1 Birth is SAFE

it’s our conditioning from media, other people’s stories and the medical system that keeps us fearful and handing our power over to “professionals”.

#2 Birth Prep Isn’t actually about KNOWING all of the “right things”.

It’s about learning to trust your body. Over education can keep you in your head and THINKING about birth rather in your body and EXPERIENCING it which is the KEY to physiological birth.

#3 Hospital policies around birth aren’t always based on evidence.

And they definitely aren’t based on what’s right for the individual mother and baby in front of them. Hospital policies DO NOT support undisturbed physiological birth. They aim to CONTROL birth to make it fit into a convenient time frame for the hospital staff and capacity.

#4 Birth is not a medical procedure

It’s a sacred, spiritual and physiological event that it’s not just the baby that’s born but the mother too.

5# That getting the right support is so important

You can’t just wing it or expect your midwife or partner to provide this support. You need to take 100% responsibility for your birth and not hand over your power. Your birth team absolutely influences the direction your birth takes.

I am so passionate about ending this era of birth trauma and supporting women to receive the support they truly deserve. We used to live in community with wise women, sisters and elders who would hand down this birth wisdom and support our birthing mothers but our society is just NOT set up to support our mothers these days. I am one of many medicine women/birth workers part of a greater movement here to bridge that gap & bring back the sacredness and honouring of birth.

🙏
