Lisa Brown, DNP, MSN, APRN, CNM, is a full-scope certified nurse-midwife for the Mankato Clinic. She specializes in perinatal mood disorders and is trained by the FEMM Research Institute for Restorative Reproductive Medicine. Dr. Brown provides care to women across all stages of life through both face-to-face visits and telehealth. With over 25 years of nursing experience, primarily in obstetrics, she earned her master's degree in midwifery in 2018 and her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 2022.

Throughout her career as a registered nurse and midwife, Dr. Brown has focused on fertility awareness methods, infertility issues, recurrent loss, and restoring reproductive wellness. She is a trained FEMM medical consultant with a working knowledge of the Creighton, Sympto-Thermal, and Marquette methods of fertility awareness. Dr. Brown assists women in avoiding and achieving pregnancy, addressing issues such as PCOS, anovulatory cycles, irregular cycles, and hormonal imbalances from adolescence through menopause.

After observing perinatal mood disorders daily with limited resources available for patients, Dr. Brown developed a special clinical interest in this area. Her doctoral focus centered on perinatal mood disorders, symptom management, and non-pharmacological interventions to improve mental health in the perinatal population. Dr. Brown currently sees patients in person at the Mankato Clinic and via telehealth through Reply Fertility in Cary, North Carolina.
