Liesel Teen

Liesel Teen is a labor and delivery nurse based in Raleigh, North Carolina. She has accumulated over ten years of experience in the field, working in hospitals and providing direct patient care. In August 2014, she began her tenure as a Registered Nurse at WakeMed, a position she continues to hold part-time, primarily on weekends. Her clinical background has provided her with direct insight into the anxieties and informational gaps many pregnant individuals experience regarding childbirth. She is also a mother of two children, which further informs her approach to maternal education.

In February 2018, Liesel Teen established Mommy Labor Nurse, an online brand dedicated to educating mothers about the birth process. This initiative stemmed from her belief that informed individuals can experience more positive birth outcomes. Through Mommy Labor Nurse, she provides accessible online resources, including comprehensive birth classes tailored for natural, epidural, and C-section deliveries, as well as a searchable blog offering expert advice on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum topics. The brand aims to equip pregnant individuals with knowledge and tools to feel prepared and confident, reducing common anxieties associated with labor and delivery.

Mommy Labor Nurse has grown significantly since its inception, with Liesel Teen actively engaging a large online community, including over 650,000 followers on Instagram. She has expanded her educational outreach by introducing online birth classes designed to cover aspects often taught in hospital childbirth courses, with additional detailed insights. Liesel Teen collaborates with fellow healthcare professionals, such as Tiffany, another Labor and Delivery nurse, who joined as a business partner. Her work focuses on demystifying childbirth, addressing common concerns like pain management, unexpected medical interventions, and postpartum recovery, emphasizing that a positive birth experience is achievable through education and preparation.
