Hi, I’m Liz —I started Traditional Birth Services in 2025 after years of working with families in the early postpartum period. In that time, and through my own perinatal experience birthing my daughter, I recognized just how crucial knowledgeable, gentle support is for the long-term health of new and growing families.
Now, as an IBCLC lactation consultant and birth and postpartum doula (THW), I provide in‑home support for families in Springfield, OR, and surrounding cities. I help parents navigate pregnancy, birth, and the early months with their new baby, so they can build confidence in their own instincts and abilities.
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me in my garden, hanging out with my family, or starting the umpteenth house project (before finishing the last one).
