ABOUT US
A Baby Naturally began in the home of its owners, Lisa and Michael, in 2008. Trying to meet a need for products not offered elsewhere locally, they sold cloth diapers and baby carriers out of their home, working full time as a midwife and engineer. In 2011, the first storefront was opened in collaboration with a friend in West Chicago, with several great employees joining the adventure. The variety of products offered expanded, and as the business grew, A Baby Naturally moved into its current home in downtown Wheaton in September 2014 and expanded, adding over 500 square feet in 2023.
Our mission is to meet your needs from belly to birth to baby. We offer adorable clothing and accessories for newborns through age eight, baby gear, natural products, toys, books, and more! We strive for excellent customer service through a staff of caring moms and grandmothers who enjoy getting to know each person who enters the door. With the addition of The Loft, we are part of a community for growing families and include classes, support, and professional services.
We provide a level of customer service that you won’t find at other places. From simple things like offering free gift wrapping and a smile behind the counter to classes, support, and excellent product knowledge, we try our best to be the best. We search high and low to find a unique variety of products to bring to our community that are not offered elsewhere. We also support local non-profits and events and belong to the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Wheaton Business Association — Lisa is currently serving a second term on the Board of Directors!
We absolutely love Baby Registries! Come and create a custom registry with us, and we will take the time to personally show you all our favorite items that we believe you and your little one will cherish. Additionally, we provide beautifully designed registry information cards that you can include with your shower invitations, making it easy for your guests to find what you need.
Meet Lisa
Hi, I am Lisa, and I’d like to welcome you to A Baby Naturally personally! I am the proud mom of three kids who are growing up too quickly - two of them are currently in college, and one is in high school! They no longer keep me awake at night but keep me busy with sports, school, and activities. I have logged thousands of miles on my minivan, running to practices and games- and now visiting them and tailgating at the University of Illinois! I bet many of you know how I feel. ☺
When I am not in the store, I am often doing other birth-related work. I am a midwife working part-time in an assistant role for Gentle Birth Care, a home birth midwifery practice. I also am a Birth Doula Trainer, an Advanced Designation Birth Doula for DONA International, and a Childbirth Educator through the American Academy of Husband-Coached Childbirth and Evidence-Based Birth, teaching the Bradley Method on Sunday afternoons. I am a Licensed Chaplain and Bereavement Counselor certified in Perinatal Mental Health through PSI, providing support to those who need it. I love talking about pregnancy and birth, so feel free to come in anytime with questions or just because you’d love a listening ear. I am also heavily involved in the Wheaton business community as a member of the Chamber of Commerce and a Director on the Board of Directors for the Downtown Wheaton Association, providing support and encouragement to colleagues with businesses.
In my free time, which, to be honest, is quite rare lately, I love to garden. Each spring, I take great care in choosing and planting beautiful flowers around my home. I also like to listen to music (country is my favorite, and I geek out over concerts), travel, and read sappy love stories (like anything by Nicholas Sparks). The last two years, my husband, Mike, and I have been a billet family for junior hockey players, taking in boys chasing their hockey dreams, feeding them, and being their home away from home. This means that I am always cooking, waiting up late at night, or cheering loudly at hockey games. I value the people in my life and also try to make time for coffee dates with my friends and as many date nights as I can with my husband - especially when they involve food and good bourbon!
If there is anything I can ever do to serve you better at the store, please reach out to me. I am extremely grateful for my customers and appreciate the feedback. Thanks for shopping locally and supporting my business!
