More Details

I’m Lisa .. Mother of four, Doula, Ceremonialist, KGHypnobirthing practitioner, placenta specialist and founder of birth roots. I offer individualised, nurturing care as one journeys towards and through birth into their post-partum. It’s a joy and honour to walk with and bear witness to the innate birthing power and to support choices, whatever they may be.

I have no particular focus on one type or place of birth, simply the birth that is right for you, one that aligns with your presenting and evolving needs and desires. My care for women and birthing people begins by providing support antenatally, through to birth and into the post-partum period. This phase, termed the fourth trimester, can often be overlooked, but time taken here always brings immense benefits for the whole family. Through nourishing care, it invites in and fosters rest and recovery, while gently transitioning into the new role of parenting, while the whole family adjust to their new rhythm of life.

Complementing this I am a Holisitc Therapist, offering Reflexology, Massage and Aromatherapy; for those choosing to enhance their physical and emotional wellbeing. I am also a Placenta Remedies Specialist, offering services to those who choose to include their placenta as part of their post-partum healing ~ in the form of encapsulation, tincture, essence, homeopathic remedies; I can offer placenta art too. Additionally I hold skills in Rebozo, Homeopathy and Acupressure for childbirth, while crafting bespoke Mother Blessing and Cerrada (Closing the Bones) ceremonies. Threaded throughout all things, is a deep honouring to each individual journey.

My experience personally, and with the clients I support, is that when there is a deeper understanding of the processes of birth, choices available, along with the ability to action your plans for birth, it better draws in respectful and compassionate care. From this, you can emerge powerful, joyful and intact because birth has been positively transformational. This matters to me because your experience is important, your needs are important, birth is important, Parenthood is important.

Testimonials

I used Lisa for placenta encapsulation after the birth of my 3rd baby. Throughout the whole planning process, Lisa was really accommodating, professional and friendly and was always ready to answer any questions I had.

I had my placenta capsules within 48 hours and started taking them on day 3 post-partum.
I was surprised by how quickly I felt like myself again! Despite suffering with anemia and mild post-partum hemorrhage, I was back to my regular daily activities by 8 days PP. A blood test also showed that my iron and hemoglobin levels had not only improved, but had returned to normal, pre-pregnancy levels within 14 days. I was back in the gym by 4 weeks and felt completely back to normal within 6 weeks.

I would definitely recommend placenta encapsulation and would recommend Lisa for this - she was brilliant throughout! Thank you so much!

Lisa was fantastic at the birth of first born Poppy, she was so helpful and reassuring before, during and after the birth, I'm not sure what we would have done without her, especially since Poppy was born before the midwife arrived. Every pregnant woman should have a Lisa.

Lisa was also present at my next two births and she prepared a range of placenta remedies for me, including a smoothie, capsules, essence for baby and tincture for me, all wonderfully benefical as part of my post partum healing.

Lisa is extremely knowledgeable & supportive. A calming, caring person who genuinely champions empowering woman and their positive birth experience. Her knowledge & compassion are second to none and I'm so happy to say she was my Doula and Placenta Specialist.
Thank you Lisa!

- Stacey Brady - 2016

Lisa thank you so much for your inspiring words, that helped no end through the pregnancy and free birth of little Ebony (2016).
I am so grateful for the power of the circle and would highly recommend choosing Lisa to provide placenta encapsulation. A respectful, caring and supportive experience. The capsules have provided an uplift and there have been no signs of that dark cloud that I previously suffered postpartum

- Jo Cook - 2016

Lisa is very knowledgeable and passionate about positive birthing. I have always found her to be approachable, friendly, and very supportive. Lisa completed my placenta encapsulation and was incredibly professional, answered all my questions and delivered an excellent service. I would highly recommend birth-roots for a range of support and services during pregnancy.
