Lorie McCoy

Lorie has been educating and advocating for families in South Florida since 1999. She is the founder of the Orchid Nest and a recognized international doula trainer and mentor. Her life’s work is to change current birthing practices that are not respectful to our newest citizens nor supportive of a mother/birthing persons intuitive wisdom concerning birth and their body. Lorie is a birth doula and has had the honor of attending well over 1500 births. She is also a HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator, HypnoBirthing Fertility Practitioner and trainer for the HypnoBirthing Institute. She is also an aromatherapy enthusiast and responsible for creating her own product line that sells both in her boutique at the Orchid Nest and online. When Lorie isn’t attending births, encapsulating placentas or teaching she spends her precious non-working hours with her family and a menagerie of furry creatures.
