Lisa Gould Rubin, CCE, CD (DONA), Birth and Newborn Parenting Consultant, has been teaching childbirth classes and providing professional labor support (confused back then with working for the unions) for nearly thirty years and for hundreds of women long before it became a recognized profession and took on the title “Doula”.

Lisa’s unique approach helps expectant and newborn parents take a look at who they are and how they live their lives and apply it to the experience of giving birth and parenting their new babies. She helps women and their partners find their way to the birth that’s right for them and their own emerging parenting style so they can end up feeling good about themselves, the process and each other.

Lisa helped establish the doula program at Mount Sinai Hospital, NYC.  She has provided expert advice on childbirth and parenting to publications like The New York Times, Parenting Magazine and the Utne Reader. Lisa’s work as a doula was featured on the Today Show and she is the co-author of “The Birth That’s Right For You”, published by McGraw-Hill.
