Hi, I'm Lily! I'm a wife, mama to the cutest baby boy, and doula. I share my home with our two pet rabbits, Claude and Cleo, and our cat, Toby. My favorite TV show is Call The Midwife or Gilmore Girls (I can’t decide). When I enter a birth space, I’m the calm voice when things feel heavy, the hype girl when you need confidence, the hip-squeezing, hand-holding professional, and the steady presence reminding you that you are capable. I’m here to help you feel informed, heard, and held through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, no matter what your journey looks like.

Growing up, my mom worked in Labor & Delivery and later at a pregnancy center where she performed ultrasounds and taught childbirth classes. Birth wasn’t something mysterious or hidden in my life, it was normal. It was dinner-table conversation, anatomy charts, baby models, and stories of strength, trust, and surrender. As I got older, I
Growing up, my mom worked in Labor & Delivery and later at a pregnancy center where she performed ultrasounds and taught childbirth classes. Birth wasn’t something mysterious or hidden in my life, it was normal. It was dinner-table conversation, anatomy charts, baby models, and stories of strength, trust, and surrender. As I got older, I assumed nursing was the natural path for me. I completed my degree with every intention of pursuing it, but I quickly realized my heart was rooted in holistic maternal care. I didn’t want moms to feel like pregnancy and birth were something to be rushed and medicalized. I wanted to experience the natural, be there in the long hours, and sit with them in it. Becoming a doula felt like coming home. Now I get to walk alongside families during one of the most transformative seasons of their lives. I get to be the steady presence, the advocate, the calm in the room. This work bridges where I’ve been and where I’m going as I continue my journey toward becoming a licensed midwife. My goal will always be to support labor as it comes and honor birth as it is.
I am currently certified as a birth doula through Growing Your Nest Birth Services
This up to six-hour in-home session is hands-on postpartum preparation support designed to lighten your load before baby arrives. Together, we focus on what will truly serve you in those early weeks, including freezer meal prep, light household organization, laundry folding, nursery or baby space setup, and creating functional “stations” for postpartum recovery. I come alongside you so your home feels calmer, more supported, and ready for your transition into motherhood.
The postpartum period is a deeply transformative time that deserves attentive, personalized care. My support is thoughtfully tailored to nurture your recovery, protect your peace, and help you transition into motherhood with confidence and ease.

Choosing a doula is a deeply personal decision. I believe it is important you truly feel connected to the person walking beside you through birth. I would love to connect with you via phone, video, or in person. If you would like to schedule a consultation please provide your contact information. There's no pressure, just space to be open and honest about your hopes throughout your birthing journey.
