Serving North Lake Tahoe and Truckee

Meet Lynda - Birth Doula / Childbirth Educator

I have been working as a midwife assistant and birth doula now for 20 years. I offer Birthing From Within childbirth classes and love holding group and private sessions for expecting couples. Starting with the prenatal time, through birth and postpartum, I am there to help you navigate all the twists and turns that this beautiful journey may take you on. I feel so grateful that I get to do this work for a living, and I truly enjoy supporting couples through the journey of becoming parents. I believe that every birthing person deserves to be surrounded by love and support. I also enjoy helping the partners understand their role and be the support person that they want to be.

I have lived in Lake Tahoe now for 25 years. My husband John and I have three daughters that were born at home. I am passionate about health and well-being and spending time with my family. I love being outside and enjoy all that the mountains and Lake Tahoe have to offer. My background in competitive skiing and understanding what it takes to prepare for a big event, physically and emotionally, has helped me in the way I approach work as a doula. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you and your partner on this incredible journey.

Doulas bring wisdom, compassion, and a deep understanding of the birthing process. Their presence can make all the difference in the world.
