Feel informed. Build confidence. Prepare for birth together.
I'm a doula and antenatal educator based in East Lothian, just outside Edinburgh, where I live with my husband, our three children and our miniature schnauzer, Barney.
I offer in-person antenatal classes in East Lothian, alongside online antenatal education and personalised doula support, helping expectant parents feel informed, confident and truly prepared for birth and the postnatal period.
If you're expecting your first baby and feeling a little nervous about giving birth, you're in the right place. My approach combines evidence-based antenatal education, hypnobirthing techniques and practical birth preparation to help you understand your body, explore your choices and feel more connected to yourself, your baby and your birth partner.
Preparing for birth is about so much more than breathing techniques and positive affirmations. I also explore the subconscious fears, beliefs and expectations we carry into birth, helping you develop the mindset, confidence and practical tools to navigate whatever unfolds.
My aim is simple: to help you approach birth feeling calm, capable, connected and empowered whatever your birth journey looks like.

"From the moment she stepped into our home, Lisa brought a sense of calm and understanding that was truly invaluable in those overwhelming early days of parenthood. Her gentle approach was exactly what we needed. She listened intently to our concerns and then tailored her support to fit our unique situation perfectly. Her presence was always comforting, and she helped me build my confidence by giving me the space to learn, while gently guiding me whenever I felt unsure. Lisa was able to offer us really helpful advice on feeding and settling techniques to help our little one. Her insights were always delivered in a way that respected our choices as a new family. Thank you Lisa for being an important part of this special time."

"I didn't realise just how valuable having a postnatal doula would be until Lisa started supporting us. During such a vulnerable time, her support was beyond anything I expected. She provided not only practical help with the baby but also the emotional reassurance I desperately needed. I thought I could manage it all, but Lisa showed me how much easier—and more enjoyable—those early days could be with the right support. Her gentle presence and deep understanding made all the difference. I truly can't imagine how we would have managed without her!"
