Lisa Fincaryk moved to Seoul with her husband in 2003. After having her son Evan in 2007, she began to explore the various birthing options available in Korea. She founded Birthing In Korea to help families navigate the options available and to support gentle, stress free births. She finds that working with women and families as they transition into parenthood for the first, second, third or tenth time is always a challenging yet rewarding experience.

Lisa is a Certified Doula, Certified Lactation Consultant and a Certified HypnoBirthing® Practitioner. She is certified through Childbirth International.

Originally born in Korea, Mi Yeon Kim was raised in the United States and hails from the great state of North Carolina. Although she studied Biology at the University of North Carolina, she is thrilled to be certified Doula, helping both expats and Koreans have positive birth experiences. Knowing that the birth experience for both expats and Koreans is a difficult one, she is passionate about educating all her clients on how to have a calm, relaxing and peaceful birth experience.

Mi Yeon is a Certified Doula through Childbirth International.
