"You can not birth intellectully. You birth sensually, intuitively, primally, and spiritually." Gutmukh

The birth of your child is one of the most profound moments you will experience in your life.  It is a scared rite of passage into motherhood and the creation of a new family.  Every woman has available to her the innate wisdom to help guide her during the birth of her baby. As your doula and HypnoBirthing Instructor I encourage you to follow that wisdom.  My goal is for you to feel empowered by your birth and the choices that you make by providing emotional, physical, and educational support.

As part of your birthing team I am comfortable working at a hospital, in your home, or birthing center. 

"We originally contacted Lissett when we were looking to learn some techniques for coping with labor, and chose hypnobirthing.  After the first session, we both noticed that Lissett had a calm demeanor that put both of us at ease, which was important since this was our first child.  We appreciated her knowledge and support, and her approach to learning about us afforded our meetings a “customized” aspect.   We felt really good about our progress—learning about birthing, practicing relaxation techniques, creating a birth plan, and working out some of the anxieties about birthing and parenthood—so we decided we wanted Lissett as our doula as well.  We are glad we made that decision.  Our first stage of labor was long, and Lissett stayed with us throughout the process, helping to relax during surges and constantly encouraging us and reminding us of our abilities.  When our birth didn’t go according to plan, Lissett helped us understand the changes and cope with the new challenges.  In the end, we felt that she played a crucial role in our birthing, especially as first-time parents.  Looking back, we enthusiastically recommend Lissett, and will certainly be calling her again should another little one come along."
