Course Curriculum
Hi, I’m Lisa!
Founder of Sweet Pea Prep & Your Childbirth Education Teacher.
I am a Nurse Practitioner specializing in Women's Health Care, a certified childbirth educator, and a mother of three. I have an active Obstetric and Gynecology practice and am the founder of Sweet Pea Childbirth Preparation. My work history and prior experience includes working in the private and non profit setting, delivering private and group childbirth education for hundreds of expectant families and working as a registered nurse in a high risk labor and delivery unit. My experience has shaped my passion for helping women to deliver in their desired way and assisting them in caring for themselves and their new babies.
Pregnancy is a time of amazing beauty. I strive to enhance that experience for each woman with whom I interact. I believe that women are strong and capable and attempt to empower my clients through education, realism, and with a sense of humor. I feel strongly that childbirth education enhances birth satisfaction and work to provide the most accurate and compassionate care possible.
I would be honored to be part of your journey towards motherhood!
What Couples Are Saying...
"My husband and I just finished all the modules for childbirth and infant care, and we thought they were great! I'll be honest, I was a little nervous about whether we'd get the same kind of learning out of a virtual course as we would in person, but we really learned a ton -- the courses are very thorough, the visuals and demonstration videos were very helpful, and the platform is easy to use." - C.C.
