THE WISDOM OF TRADITIONAL MIDWIFERY IMPROVES OUTCOMES AND EXPERIENCES
I believe that birth is sacred. I believe in the body's ability to birth. I believe a birthing person should feel safe and cared for in whatever setting they choose to give birth in. I know that birthing at home is as safe and can be safer than birthing at a hospital.
I have over 20 years of experience working with birthing people, mostly in a hospital environment. I've trained as a midwife in a birth center, as well as a hospital setting. I intimately understand how medical interventions, lack of holistic care and lack of understanding of our diverse cultures has increased unwanted birth outcomes. I have seen the wisdom of traditional midwifery improve outcomes and experiences in a homebirth setting.
My name is Lisa Davis and I am a Certified Nurse Midwife who practices homebirth with the wisdom of traditional midwifery. My practice, NuBirth Midwifery, serves Oakland and the greater Bay Area and I travel as far north as Sacramento. I am the mother of two adult daughters and the grandmother of two grandsons. I have spent time doing activism and organizing work around anti-police terror but have now dedicated my whole self to the practice of midwifery. I believe that birth is sacred and I trust the body's ability to birth. I serve all people but specialize in African-centered care using the Midwifery Model of Care and the wisdom of Black midwives. I have over 20 years of experience working with birthing people as a Labor and Delivery RN. I have witnessed the wisdom of traditional midwifery improve outcomes and experiences. I am passionate about looking at ways to make homebirth accessible to all Black families that desire it, as I sincerely believe that homebirth not only empowers but heals. Everyone deserves the type of care you receive through homebirth.
