And...Exhale.
The postpartum period is a tender time.
I strive to make it easier. When I walk into your home, you don't have to host, you don't have to explain, and you don't have to pretend you are coping. You just get to be a family who is cared for. As a postpartum doula, I provide in-home, non-medical support to families around the Kearsarge & Lake Sunapee regions of New Hampshire.

ABOUT ME
Hello! I'm Lisa, a DONA international trained postpartum doula located in the Lake Sunapee region of New Hampshire. I really appreciate you being here.
My career as a postpartum doula was born (wink) out of the necessity to make a new start in a new place. I moved to this area from Massachusetts in 2024. I've spent most of my life skiing, hiking, and camping throughout New Hampshire and feel very lucky to be here permanently.
I am a mom of two boys and now that they have settled into their new home, it's time to get back to work. Before moving, I had spent the past 9 years doing home visits as a registered dietitian with an Early Intervention Program in Massachusetts. I absolutely LOVED doing home visits with young families and knew I wanted to keep working with this population in this setting. The 'ah ha' moment of how came with a visit to support a long-time friend last summer during their postpartum journey. They live away from family and friends and hired a postpartum doula. Insert lightning strike quickly followed by googling 'postpartum doula training.' I found DONA international and the rest is herstory.
What sets me apart from most postpartum doulas, is my additional career as a registered dietitian and the 17+ years of pediatric nutrition experience I bring into your home. I have in-depth knowledge of your baby's nutritional needs, as well as the nutritional needs of the birthing parent to aid recovery and ensure you and your little one are off to a great start!

TESTIMONIALS
Having Lisa with us to help care for our 6-week-old was the best! She walked through our door and immediately took charge in the most reassuring way. She was calm, warm, and not only completely non-judgmental, but very reassuring about all the things we were doing right (which felt like zero things as first time parents, so it was nice to have some reassurance!). As a registered dietitian, her expertise in infant nutrition was invaluable, especially when it came to feeding and helping us feel more confident about how to manage our little guy's tummy issues. With Lisa on shift, we could actually rest. We wanted to keep her forever! If you're a first-time parent feeling overwhelmed, don't hesitate. Lisa is a pro. --Abbey K
