Hello! I’m Lucy, birth and postpartum doula, lactation counselor, and parenting educator. I am passionate about providing support and informed care to parents of all stages. I became interested in this work after the birth of my oldest son in 2005. I did not have the empowered birth I dreamt of and knew something was missing– and that was support!

As a birth doula, I provide emotional and physical support, guidance, and evidence-based information so that you are empowered physically, mentally, and spiritually to have a relaxed and connected birth experience. My training and practice in yoga and meditation give me an understanding of anatomy and comfort measures to work with your body to promote deep relaxation.

As a postpartum doula and lactation counselor, I work with new parents to teach lactation, pumping, back to work, weaning, and newborn care. I enjoy working with new parents as they find their groove in their new or expanding role. I nurture the new mother, demonstrate infant massage and “baby-wearing” and will support parents who are struggling with postpartum mood disorders, including postpartum depression and anxiety.

What’s next? Children do not come with an owner’s manual! I can also help you facilitate a peaceful, more connected home life. Life is chaotic with children, I can help you manage the chaos, find simplicity, and build a solid foundation to support your family as your children rapidly grow and change.

I am the proud mother of 3 and live with my family in Lisbon Falls, ME. I regularly pursue continuing education opportunities and am always deepening my knowledge about conception, birth, newborn care, lactation support, and postpartum wellness.
