About Labor Nurse Lily
My Story
My unique journey started shortly after I had my second baby, when the universe presented me with an opportunity in birthwork, something that had always been my passion, and I took a job as a labor and delivery RN in a high-acuity hospital. The experiences I was a part of convinced me I was doing what I loved and was always meant to, but the obstetric violence and lack of informed consent left me feeling very emotionally drained and my own mental health was very much affected.
Knowing I had to leave that setting, I transitioned to running a birth center instead and began a mentorship that would profoundly re-shape my approach to birthing support. The information I offer you is rooted in a commitment to empowering you through informed choices. I want to also share with you the importance of having the right mindset and preparation so you can feel excited and optimistic about the journey ahead.
My Mission
Whether you are choosing to have an unmedicated birth in a comfortable setting or in a hospital with an epidural, be assured that you will receive all of the information you need to feel confident in the process. My goal is to help you trust in the inherent capabilities of your body, understand the various options available to you, and create a birth plan that aligns with your desires. I want you to embrace the incredible process that is bringing your baby into this world and have a birth experience that is empowering, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
