Fee Details

I believe that confidence is key and support is the cornerstone of one’s birth and postpartum journey. I believe that preparing for motherhood and being a mother requires courage, strength, and humility. It takes the courage to recognize and push through fear, the strength to speak up as we push through challenges, and the humility to recognize when we need help, and ask for it. It is with this in mind that I welcome you to experience what real support feels like and that is why I am here. I’m dedicated to wrap you up, cheer you on, adjust your blankets, walk with you, set your birthing tub to the perfect temperature, wash your pump parts, do miscellaneous tasks around your space after your baby arrives and let you ease into parenthood with a ‘come as you are’ comfort that is unique to the birth services I offer.

We so enjoyed working with Lily for our firstborn. Lily was all on board with our goals for a natural birth and provided helpful pre and post support in addition to being at our birth. My husband really appreciated having a sounding board to reassure him all was well during labor, especially since I labored mainly at home.

Birth is such an intimate space and Lily made us feel very comfortable and encouraged. It was so powerful being spiritually aligned with our doula. We feel super blessed to have connected with her and that she made space to take us onlater in my pregnancy on as we were a bit late to hop on the doula train. She was definitely an essential piece to what was a positive and empowering birth experience.

Lily was a joy to work with during pregnancy, at the delivery, and after. As first time parents we were looking for someone who was calm, knowledgeable, and would be supportive throughout the whole process. Lily was an amazing resource for us before and after delivery with recommendations on providers, helpful tips, etc. She was always available to chat and was a great sounding board for big decisions. She had a way of making me feel calm and confident in the decisions we made for our labor and delivery (and care for baby after birth). 
 Lily was with us at the hospital and stayed by our side. She was reassuring and funny and a coach. She prayed with us and over us. She talked to the nurses and midwives and obgyn. She supported our decisions and helped convey any concerns we had to our providers. With Lily there, my husband and I felt and knew we had someone there who would do everything to help us and our baby. Once she arrived the atmosphere in the hospital changed and the providers understood us better and respected our decisions. I highly recommend Lily, not just because of her knowledge, but because of who she is. She is kind and giving. She works incredibly hard and loves her job and clients. I am so grateful to have met her and to know her. We have a beautiful baby boy who is healthy and happy and I'm so grateful that Lily was there for his birth.

Lilly is super knowledgeable in her craft and so willing to share the details of her craft and anything that will help you achieve your birth goals.

She was super responsive to any questions and so helpful and loving on the day(s) of my birth. And she got me through an induction with no pain meds!

Lily was such a blessing to have on my birth team. First and foremost, we share a love for the Lord, which was extremely important to me. We also shared a similar interest in a more holistic lifestyle, which was incredibly helpful in preparing for labor. Lily shared many useful tips and information that I used leading up to my birth. Lily checked in with me over the course of my pregnancy and was very responsive whenever I had a question or update. Lily was always kind and patient, even with having to work with me through a week+ of prodromal labor and going 3 days past my due date. Lily was irreplaceable during my labor. She reminded me to relax, breathe properly, and stay strong, even holding my hand when needed and making sure the birth tub and essential oils were ready to go. She suggested different positions to get me more comfortable as well as speed labor up. She helped immensely with making sure the hospital staff knew my birth wishes and making sure they followed them. She guided my husband on ways he could support me, and he later told me how grateful he was to have another set of hands to provide comfort and love to me during labor. I progressed extremely quickly, and Lily remained calm and professional, all the while cheering me on. She was even so thoughtful as to quickly grab photos and a video of my baby being born. These mean more to me than I can say, and I will treasure them always. They also really helped me process my birth as I reflected on it all later. Lily is more than a doula, she is a friend. I couldn't recommend her more!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Lily in October 2022. From the moment we first met Lily, we knew she was a great fit for us. She is well organized, a great listener, and a wealth of knowledge.  During our prenatal and postpartum appointments, we felt valued and heard. Lily always made herself available to answer our questions and give her unbiased advice.  She made us feel confident in every choice that we made.  Lily gave us the tools to prepare for the birth that we had envisioned while also reminding us to save room for the unexpected.

I had a long labor with challenging moments, and I don’t know what I would’ve done without Lily by my side.  She was a steady source of comfort, support and encouragement for my husband and I.  Her guidance from her intuition is what helped make my first birth an amazing and unforgettable experience.

The coaching and care did not stop after I gave birth.  The postpartum care and attention that she provided in the early weeks was invaluable.  She provided me with breastfeeding education, general support, and more. Through this experience, Lily has become our friend, and we can still reach out to her with questions.  In the words of Lily- “Invest in your birth”.  You won’t regret it.

I cannot recommend Lily strongly enough! Words cannot describe how grateful I am to her for helping me have an empowering birth experience. She brings a calming, positive energy and a deep knowledge of practices for providing support before, during, and after labor. Throughout my pregnancy and after she regularly checked in on us and encouraged us to ask questions and sent many helpful resources. She guided us through the experience, giving us the information we needed to make our own decisions with no judgement on our choices. I initially planned to have a home water birth but due to my high blood pressure I was a hospital transfer and was induced. I was upset that my birth plan was changing it wasn’t going as planned. Lily gave me words encouragement and prayed over us. Lily was by my side the entire. She would tell me that body is capable of giving birth and I can do this. Honestly if it wasn’t for Lily I don’t think I could of move forward and delivery naturally. I was in labor for 8-9 hours and I gave birth to a healthy baby boy naturally. Hiring Lily as my doula one of the best decisions I could have made. I will cherish our moments together, she truly was an angel by my side.
