Leah Frederick
I’m a mother of 3 and RN and CLC of 10+ yrs specialized in postpartum and newborn care.

I have forever had a passion for pregnancy, birth postpartum and babies and have supported so many different families from all walks of life!

Liz Lake (she/her)
I'm a typical Austinite--I worked in tech for several years before transitioning to doing what I love the most: supporting women and birthing people through one of life's biggest transitions. Having a baby is easily the most amazing and overwhelming things most folks will ever do in their lives. Through working with my clients, I honor that and believe wholeheartedly that how you feel as you have a baby is paramount. I believe in evidence and options and am not here to tell you there’s any “right” way to have a baby.
