The Birth Nerd Who Traded the Boardroom for the Birthing Room
If we want to change the world, we must begin at the beginning—by transforming how babies are born and how mothers are educated and supported throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.

TheThreeBirthsandaSingleTruth
Tofindthe “why” thatdrivesAlisa,youhavetogobacktoher owntransformations. “From the moment I had my first baby,” she says, “my world shifted completely.” Sheisamamaofthree,and eachbirthwasadifferentlesson. “My first taught me what I didn’t want to experience again; my second gave me the strength to try it my way; and my third proved that courage and belief in myself were the keys to a birth I felt good about.”
COVER STORY
The future of childbirth depends on education that empowers rather than intimidates. Alisa’s work reflects that vision — grounded, thoughtful, and globally minded. She is part of the first cohort of Doula Unbound, a clinically driven, one-of-a-kind doula training program designed to bridge education, physiology, and modern obstetric care. Her willingness to engage in rigorous training from the very beginning speaks to her integrity and leadership. This is how maternal health moves forward — through education rooted in trust, physiology, and respect for women

Herownjourneyfrompatienttoparenttaughther thecoretruththatnowanimatesherlife’swork. Motherhood,Alisasays,is “both messy and magical—often at the same time.” Thisbeautiful, rawcontradictioniswhatshesawmissingfrom thesterilized,fear-basednarrativessurrounding birth.Shesawaworldthatpreparedwomenfor an event,butnotforthe transformation.
Thispersonal “why” simmeredforyearsasher childrengrew.Shewasamother,andshewasa successfulexecutive.Butthepullofthat transformativemoment,the “sacred” workofthe birthingroom,wasundeniable.Shebecame,in herownwords,“obsessedwithbirthand business.”Then,aroundsixyearsago,the obsessionbecameacalling,andthepivotbecame permanent.

Theshiftwasnotagentletransition;itwasa profoundleap.Itwasachoicethat “many thought... was crazy to do at her age.” Butto understandwhatdrivesAlisa,youhaveto understandtwomomentsinherownmotherhood journeythat“stoppedherinhertracks.”
Thefirstwasleavingthehospitalwithher firstborn,amomentofpure,terrifying,and magicalbeginning.Thesecond,decadeslater, waswatchingheryoungestheadofftocollege. “One was the beginning,” sheconfesses. “The other felt like an ending.”

TheFrontlinePhilosophy
Alisa’sauthoritydoesnotcomefromatextbook.Itcomesfromthe frontlinesoflaboranddelivery “I teach from this frontline,” she says,andthisiswhatsetsherapart. “I don't just talk about birth—I live it.”

BuildingtheBridgetoMillions
Alisa’sworkinthebirthingroomwasthe mission.Let’sTalkBirthyisthevessel.She knewshecouldnotserveeverymother, one-on-one. “I wanted to bring what I do for moms in the delivery room to millions of moms around the world,” shesays.

“Childbirth can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be. Most first-time moms feel anxious and worried about childbirth and overwhelmed by conflicting information. And that’s totally normal.”
“I help you go from scared to prepared—by learning clarity, commitment, capability, and confidence—so you can create the safe, healthy hospital birth you want and the strong, beautiful start to motherhood you deserve.”
“When a mom walks into birth without support, she often abdicates control to circumstance,” Alisaexplains. “But when she feels confident and supported, she’s far more likely to have the kind of birth she wants—and a stronger start to motherhood.”
Throughhercoursesandworkshops,she providesreal-world,easy-to-understand guidancedesignedtohelpmothers“trust themselvesandtheirbodies,andfindjoyin thejourney.”Itisabusinessmodelbuilt entirelyonher“why”: the belief that a good birth creates a better start to motherhood and that benefits the world.
Alisaisguidedbyaquotefromthe physicianMichelOdent: “To change the world, we must first change the way the babies are being born.” This,Alisasays, “is my purpose now.”

“These early experiences revealed the power of knowledge—especially in a field as complex as medicine,” Nada reflects, “and ignited my commitment to bridge the gap between vulnerable communities and the care they deserve.” That commitmentbecamethedefiningmissionofherlife,athroughlinethatconnectstheyounggirltranslatingforherparentstothe accomplishedphysician-leadersheistoday,standingatthe intersectionofclinicalexcellenceandoperationalstrategyatone ofthenation’stopchildren’shospitals.
ACallingtoProtecttheVulnerable
WhenNadaenteredmedicalschool,shequickly understoodthatpediatricsis,byitsverynature, thecareofavulnerablepopulation. “Children depend entirely on others for their medical decisions, access to care, and advocacy,” she explains. “Due to developmental barriers, they are unable to articulate their symptoms or understand complex health issues.” This inherentvulnerabilitymakesthemsusceptibleto disparitiesincare,neglect,andthecrushing weightofsystemicbarriers.Thesocial determinantsofhealth,suchaspoverty,housing, andeducation,disproportionatelyaffectchildren, shapingtheiroutcomeslongintoadulthood.
Nada’schildhoodexperienceshadpreparedher forthisrealization,transformingitintoa professionalcalling.Herpassionforadvocacy, combinedwithanaturaltalentforteachingand guidingothers,didnotgounnoticed.Duringher residency,shewashonoredwiththe Martin A. Hoffman Award forSeniorResidentandwas subsequentlyselectedasChiefResident.Itwas duringthisdemandingyearthatanew understandingbegantoform.
“I discovered how effective leadership can shape and serve an entire division,” shesays, “a realization that deepened my dedication to staying engaged in leadership.” Thatsameyear,herpeersandmentors affirmedherpathbyhonoringherwiththe Emily Gardner Award for Outstanding Chief Resident Herpathwasbecomingclear.Shewouldnotonlybe ahealer,butaleaderofhealers.

“Achieving my MBA… allowed me to augment my medical career by equipping me with critical business, leadership, and management skills that traditional medical education in the United States does not provide,” sheexplains.Itenabledherto exploretheadministrative,executive,andentrepreneurialaspects ofthehealthcareindustry,broadeningher “mental landscape beyond clinical work.”
Today,astheClinicalMedicalDirectorofRespiratoryCare ServicesatChildrensNationalHospitalinWashington,D.C., Nadalivesattheintersectionofthosetwoworlds.Sheoversees thestrategyandworkflowofadivisionof60respiratory therapists,managingclinicalstandards,workforcedevelopment, andfinancialsustainability.However,sheisclearthatherprimary responsibilitywillalwaysbethesacredtrustofdirectpatientcare. Whenaskedabouthermostrewardingmoments,shedoesn’t pointtoapromotionoraproject,buttothebedside. “Anytime I can guide my patient and their family through a critical illness and to recovery is a rewarding moment in my career,” shesays.
TheChallengeofaThousandPaths
Earlyinheracademiccareer,Nadafacedachallengecommonto manyambitiousminds:awidearrayofintereststhatmadeit difficulttodefineasingle,clearpath. “I found myself drawn to many aspects of medicine, which made it difficult to define a clear academic path,” sheadmits.Insteadofseeingthisasaweakness, shefoundawaytoturnitintoauniquestrength.
“I overcame this by using research as an organizing principle,” Nadaexplains, “specifically focusing on quality improvement (QI) as a framework that naturally blends my passions for business, patient safety, and system-level change.” QIbecamethe perfectvehicleforherMD/MBAskillset. “This focus not only sharpened my academic direction but also allowed me to apply organizational and business principles to drive measurable improvements in patient care,” shesays. “Through this integration, I found a meaningful and sustainable way to align my diverse interests into a cohesive and impactful career path.”
TheAnatomyofaSystemicFix

TheNextFrontier
Lookingtothefuture,Nadaisincreasinglyfocusedon applyingheruniqueblendofskillstoglobalhealth.
“I believe the next frontier in healthcare development lies in uniting public systems with private-sector innovation,” she says,citingcreativepartnershipslikeusingride-share platformstotransportpatientsorfooddeliveryservicesto addressnutritiongaps.Sheaimstoextendherimpactbeyond asingleinstitutiontodesignandexecutesustainable,highimpacthealthcaremodelsinresource-limitedsettingsacross borders.
Whenaskedabouttheelusive‘perfect’work-life balance,Nadathoughtfullyreframestheconcept.
