Meet Your Birthworker

Welcome — my name is Liz. I’ve spent most of my life in various caregiving roles, nurturing those around me with a deep compassion that has always felt natural and instinctive. Like many birthworkers, my journey into perinatal support was deeply inspired by my own birth and postpartum experience with my daughter. At just 23 years old, I found myself in a new mountain city, navigating the challenges of early motherhood with a tiny baby and very little hands-on support or guidance. Feeling perpetually teary-eyed, overwhelmed, and desperate for help with needs I didn’t yet know how to clearly express, I leaned heavily on the kind whispers of validation from “been there, done that” family members and friends. I also relied on the quiet, steady confidence and expertise of my lactation consultant’s guidance, which provided a crucial sense of reassurance and hope. This compassionate support ignited within me a spark—a quiet but persistent passion—that took several years to fully realize, nurture, and embrace. So, after many unexpected pivots and a few questionable turns along the way, I am now proudly a board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) and a Traditional Health Worker (THW) doula with a simple yet profoundly meaningful purpose: to support you and your evolving needs as a parent and human being during this most transformative and extraordinary time in your life.
