Guides
Greetings! I'm Lisa Marie and I am a birth, postpartum, and stillbirth doula proudly serving the Central Valley of California and beyond. Grounded in my indigenous roots, I bring a wealth of practices not commonly taught in Western medicine, providing women and families with unique, holistic options. I provide culturally sensitive support for the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color) community, LGBT individuals, foster youth, adoptive families, and surrogate families. Alongside comprehensive birth and postpartum care, I also offer personalized placenta honoring services to enhance your birth experience, yoni steaming for reproductive health, and well-being sessions that are designed for reflection, growth, and empowerment during your pregnancy and postpartum moments. I look forward to meeting and working with you.

Lisa was so great to work with!! Honestly I don’t think I would have been able to advocate for myself and achieve my VBA2C without her. She was a wealth of knowledge, provided so many resources, and was a calming presence and advocate during my pregnancy and birth.
