About Marinda Lloyd

My name is Marinda Lloyd, I am the co-owner of The Doula House L.L.C. I have been doulaing for many years, and I LOVE what I do. I am passionate about helping women empower themselves, by having the birth of their dreams. I teach Hypnobabies Hypnosis for Childbirth classes, third trimester childbirth education, Happiest Baby on the Block, and I am a lactation specialist. (Lactation, second only to childbirth, is my passion and obsession. I love learn more and helping mothers master breastfeeding.) I am a mother, a sister, a daughter, and a friend. I believe in the power of women, and the miracle of birth.
