Bio

Liz is a DONA certified birth doula and doula trainer, a Lamaze®-Certified Childbirth Educator & trainer, and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, trained through University of California, San Diego, where she is also an instructor of lactation studies. She believes that every person who is fortunate enough to become pregnant has the wisdom and instincts within themselves to birth their baby, in the way that feels most instinctive and intuitive. However, our society often makes this difficult to do with confidence and without fear, bombarding us with negative images and horror stories surrounding birth. This translates into parenting, as families rely on advice that often conflicts with their own instincts. She founded Enlightened Mama, to offer a safe space for families to get quality education, connect with others, and feel confident throughout their journey of parenting. Enlightened Mama is designed to help families have positive birth and breastfeeding experiences, as they define them, and to begin parenthood with confidence. She lives in St. Paul, MN with her incredibly supportive wife and four fabulous children, who inspire and humble her on a daily basis. Contact Liz at liz@enlightenedmama.com or 952-457-3834
