Hi, I'm Lily!

I am a DONA-trained birth doula. I also offer postpartum support services, including lactation and newborn care support, as well as postpartum meal prep. Walking alongside families who have been given a fatal fetal diagnosis or are expecting a stillborn child is particularly near and dear to my heart, as my eldest child was given a fatal diagnosis in utero. Although her diagnosis turned out to be incorrect, it deeply shaped the rest of my pregnancy and birth. My Christian faith is at the core of everything I do, including my work as a doula. As such, I also offer the optional integration of faith-based pregnancy and labor support, as desired. 

I am a mom of two spunky girls. I became passionate about all things pregnancy and birth after my traumatic pregnancy, labor and postpartum with my first daughter. My goal in becoming a doula was that no one ever feels alone as they navigate their pregnancy and parenthood journey, like I did with my first baby. I decided to become a doula after having a doula for my second pregnancy, which revolutionized and redeemed my childbearing experience. 

Before becoming a mom, I worked in domestic violence and community resource shelters, as well as for a foster care and adoption non-profit. So, I have unique experience working both with biological parents who have decided to place their child for adoption, and families who have welcomed foster and adoptive children into their homes. After having children, I chose to become a stay-at-home mom and doula. 

I hold DONA certificates in birth doula training and childbirth education. I have my bachelor’s degree in public health from Carroll University, where my capstone focused on the prevention of postpartum depression and the improvement of fetal and maternal health outcomes in Native American populations. I also hold certifications in CPR/First Aid, Mental Health First Aid, and QPR. 

I believe every woman has the right to a safe and satisfying birth experience. I believe every parent and family deserves compassionate, dedicated, and personalized support when they welcome a new human into the world, and that's what I seek to provide each of my clients. I believe your birth matters. I believe your baby matters. I believe YOU matter.

I look forward to meeting and supporting you!
