Hi! I'm MaryNissi!

I'm a Childbirth Educator,  Certified Doula, and a Breastfeeding educator, and founder of Lemon Life Doula & Birthing Services. I have been doing this work for 6+ years now. I am a wife to my best friend Andrew, we just celebrated 11 years of marriage and a mother of two. Our First born is 6 years old and our baby girl is hitting  3! My journey to being a doula and childbirth educator in many ways feels like a natural progression. It began with my pregnancy with my first born. I found myself with so much curiosity and questions with pregnancy. I had Rachel who was a nurse from a program that worked with first time mamas that I somehow qualified for. Rachel took upon a role that forever changed my life. She walked with me on this journey of pregnancy and postpartum. She empowered me to ask the questions and allow myself to take lead in my birth. The awesome experience of birth had such a profound effect of opening me up to something bigger and unstoppable. I had the support of a birth doula for my birth and never looked back!

I then did my training through DONA and began supporting and empowering mamas as I had been supported and empowered: to support women through their birth experience they choose, however way they define it. I truly believe that in life it takes a village in life and the journey of birth beautifully illustrates this image. A birth takes a team for a mama to birth her child, and as a doula I get to be part of that process in mama’s lives. I recently found out that my great - grandmother was a traditional midwife who actually delivered my mother in her home! It was in my blood the whole time! Really feel called to this work. I am the happiest when I am spending time with friends and family. My house is always open for food and fun and little kids running around. I enjoy painting canvas, I enjoy using oil paint but find myself going to acrylic more often especially after kids. ​​
