About Gentle Touch

Lydia has spent over two decades supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum. More recently she has begun working with women looking for help in balancing hormones with lifestyle changes and living naturally. 

Her background includes education through the Association of Texas Midwives academic midwifery program, followed by years of experience attending and assisting births across the United States, Mexico and Canada in various capacities. She is  certified in CPR for the Health Care Provider,  Neonatal Resuscitation, and Women’s Hormone Health Coaching. She is a Certified Professional Midwife through the North American Registry of Midwives. Her certification for Women’s Hormone Health is through the Institute of Menstrual Health with Nicole Jardim. 

Through the years, Lydia has developed a  client-led philosophy of care — one that values informed consent, education, holistic wellness, and honoring the natural process of hormones that drive pregnancy and birth.

She is passionate about helping women better understand their bodies, supporting hormonal health naturally, and building  confidence in making the best decisions for themselves and their families. 

Lydia is a wife, homemaker, and happy mother of 4. She loves gardening, clean living, and learning whatever she can to help improve her family’s health. She likes to travel and enjoys the many friendships that have developed  through her midwifery and hormone health consulting practice. 

She is fascinated  to see how new studies and science align with God’s principles shown in scripture. This is especially so in women’s health as new studies emerge, proving that God’s design truly is good, right, and true. With all her heart she believes that God is looking out for the wellbeing of mankind, even when things don’t make sense.
