LISA DESMARAIS, CNM, MSN

The drive to empower women and their families has always inspired Lisa’s work, and after exploring various roles within nursing, she found herself at home in the world of midwifery.  Lisa centers her practice on creating an environment where clients feel confident, strong, and safe.  She values partnering with clients to achieve their health goals, wherever they may be on their journey.  From CB&W’s midwifery care, educational classes, and alternative care options, Lisa believes care can be expertly tailored to each individual during pregnancy and beyond.  

Lisa earned her Masters of Science in Nursing in Nurse Midwifery from the University of Colorado while assisting in births as a nurse at CB&W Prior to that, Lisa worked as a nurse in Minnesota after earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Davenport University in Michigan. Lisa feels fortunate to now practice as a midwife in the place that helped shape her birth work.

 When not immersed in the midwifery world, Lisa enjoys taking advantage of all Colorado has to offer.  She can be found hiking and exploring with her partner, Griffin, and their rescue pup, Sully.
