we know this to be true : Birth is unpredictable.

And yet too often we focus just on information when preparing for birth. While feeling informed is important, true preparation for the unknown of birth requires something more.

I created the Birth Wisdom program as a unique holistic approach to childbirth education that provides not only key knowledge and tools, but also increases your self-esteem and self-confidence. My wish? For you to have a healthy, meaningful birth experience.

I want to get crucial information into your hands because this birth will impact YOUR LIFE the most… NOT your doctors.

"Birth Wisdom was invaluable. I did absolutely everything you recommended, and I had a very blessed labor process. I was able to cope with the contractions really well using your priceless recommendations. My husband learned SO MUCH from the course, he was the best support I could ever imagine."

"We would encourage all new parents-to-be to take Birth Wisdom! Hillery’s classes are well-thought out and structured but, remain light and fun. We learned so much and now, have greater understanding, clarity and confidence as we await our son’s arrival in less than a month. It is evident that Hillery cares deeply for mommas, babies and husbands/partners."

"This childbirth education program prepares you for all outcomes and allows you to tune into your desired birth, to your body and to your baby. I found a deeper level of understanding about myself and connection with my baby."

Hey there... I'm Hillery

certified doula and childbirth strategist.

Hillery Lyen Doula

I help anxious parents-to-be create childbirth strategies through guidance + support to build confidence in their body, trust their innate ability to give birth and make informed decisions that align with their values about pregnancy, birth, and parenting.

What I enjoy most about my role as a childbirth mentor and doula is helping 1st time pregnant parents turn “ON” their courageous power switch to trust their body and OWN their birth every step of the way! I also love bringing out my authentic self and building relationships into unforgettable friendships. My realness sets me apart. You will find I am super down to earth, funny, and easy to talk to.

"The potential for positive impact (in birth) is great, but it takes planning, advance preparation, and safe, respectful nurturing. I'd urge women to take their upcoming childbirth very seriously. It matters too much to turn the experience of a lifetime over to someone else."

Penny Simkin, Childbirth educator

"Before I took Birth Wisdom I felt anxiety regarding fear of the unknown and pain management skills. In Birth Wisdom I learned about labor and how my partner and I can be a team. We learned helpful positions to help labor progress, and how I can use my strength & trust myself. We also feel so prepared for breastfeeding and how to care for our baby and ourselves postpartum."

"This program has given me and my husband the confidence & ability to ask the right questions to my care providers and speak up for ourselves and our baby. It has opened my eyes and heart to all the good that comes from childbirth and the control I have over my own body & mind to make my experience positive, regardless of any situation that may arise. I'm fully prepared and feeling better and better each day about the idea of giving birth and so thankful I found your program."

"The classes were informative regarding both natural and medical interventions for labor and delivery. I ended up having a long and difficult labor and the knowledge gained in the classes helped my husband and I cope well and be informed decision makers."

you've heard the stories... Birth doesn't always happen how we wish it would.

It is vital to understand that in the US and the developed world, the medical system for childbirth in a hospital setting is very controlled and complex, impacting millions of families every year.

FACTS:

  • In the US 1 in 4 women have their labor induced.
  • The US C-section rate is about 1.3 million children each year.
  • The US is the only country in the developed world with an exceptionally high and rising maternal mortality rate, even higher for low income women of color.
  • Birth trauma is estimated to occur in 33% to 45% of all births in the US and Australia.
  • 1 in 6 moms and 1 in 10 dads suffer from postpartum depression.

These statistics are shocking, I know. This information is not meant to scare you, but to prepare you. You have to be prepared to navigate our present medical model of childbirth and learn how to speak up for yourself to encourage better birth outcomes for your baby and generations to come.

My goal is to get crucial information into your hands so you can ask the right questions & advocate for yourself because this birth will impact your life the most… not your doctors. I want to help you avoid the emotional and financial cost of unnecessary interventions and medical procedures by knowing how to navigate our complex medical system.

"Hillery's Birth Wisdom program was absolutely PHENOMENAL! We both learned so much! The biggest takeaway is that you don't know what you don't know, so be open and ready to receive ALL THE INFORMATION! I had read countless articles, listened to my friend's and family's recommendations and birth stories, watched different videos on the subject matter, and STILL learned a ton from this course!

Before Birth Wisdom, I felt like I could not think of any questions to ask my OBGYN. However, with all the topics discussed in the class, I had new questions at each subsequent doctor's appointment. All the information provided was extremely helpful and, to us, unbiased."
