“Linsay and Angel did a great job of facilitating virtually. They covered a lot of ground, emphasized autonomy/choice, and openly shared their own personal experiences with births which informed the conversation.” -Elina B.
Linsay Hiller
The mother of three young children, Linsay is a passionate advocate for trusting people to make the right choices for their bodies. A former attorney, she was lucky enough to work from home after the birth of her first baby and did so until her second baby was born two years later.
After a first postpartum experience caring for a colicky newborn and a second postpartum recovery filled with anxiety and stress while juggling a toddler and a newborn, she knows first-hand how much postpartum support and prenatal education expectant and new parents need and deserve.
An emotionally traumatic first birth and an empowering and healing second birth also make her a firm believer in the impact of the birth experience itself.
Linsay’s goal is for each Enriched Birth™ client to feel confident and prepared.

When Angel was pregnant with her first child she became fascinated with everything birth & parenting related. A childbirth education course helped her to have an empowered birth experience. She became a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator and a Registered Yoga Teacher so that she could help other expecting parents to feel confident and prepared for birth and life with a newborn. Linsay and Angel met during their childbirth educator training and bonded over a desire to make childbirth education and postpartum support more accessible, and Enriched Birth® began!
Angel is a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator and a Registered Yoga Teacher. Angel also has a Bachelors in Fashion Merchandising from Howard University and her Masters of Arts in Fashion Business Management from the University of Westminster.
