Birth Support

What you get: Our team works together to offer a unique brand of total support: emotional, physical, and educational. Our goal when working with you is that you feel supported getting whatever kind of birth you want— and that your autonomy is never violated.

All of our birth workers are trained in full-spectrum support. Ellyn, Leona, and Mackenzie are a well rounded team with years of experience between them.

They meet with clients at least twice before birth to work on birth planning and comfort measures. Then, when you call, one of them will arrive to support you through labor (no matter how long it takes) including staying up to three hours after birth to get everyone settled. They also offer follow-up visits to process your birth, answer questions, and admire your adorable baby.

Shea is a skilled and intuitive bodyworker. They are currently on medical leave, but available for consults and labor bodywork for Nisse clients if the need arises.

Leona offers childbirth education that is evidence forward and based on your pace, to make sure you are as prepared as possible for all the exciting changes in your life.

Additionally, Mackenzie offers postpartum support that is warm and genuine, and tailored completely to your needs— meal prep, baby care, emotional support, and more.
