it's so nice to meet you.

My name is Lizzy Spalding. I grew up in the Southern Berkshires, traveled the world, and came back to start a family. I want to help other mamas do the same.

As a birth doula, I support families during pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum stage. In addition, I provide prenatal support sessions with the goal of preparing families for the birth of their child (or children) and the immediate postpartum period.

Additionally, I provide on-site support through labor, delivery and early postpartum in a hospital, birthing center or home birth setting and will offer multiple postpartum follow up visits if desired.

I am a member of Ilana Siegal’s Lifeworks Studio in Great Barrington, MA, and the Berkshire Doula Collective.

I live in the Great Barrington, MA area with my husband and two sons. We enjoy spending time with family, taking hikes on the surrounding mountains and cooking scrumptious meals.

My pronouns are she/her.

Families who use my Birth Doula Services will have one postpartum visit to process the birth experience, to check in on the recovery of the birthing person, and offer any additional support you may need. I will continue to be available as a resource for you via email, call and text after our contract has ended.

I also offer Postpartum Care for families transitioning to life with a new baby. As a Postpartum Doula, I give families an extra set of hands so that they can rest, recover and spend time with their growing family.
