I wanted a positive second birth experience, so I chose Lilly as my doula—and her support and care went beyond anything I could have hoped for.

With her guidance, I was able to follow my birth plan and have a natural, no-intervention birth. I even ended up giving birth standing up at the hospital—something I never expected, and I’m still amazed by it to this day.

She also helped my partner feel confident in how to support me, and created an environment filled with comfort and laughter.

I’m incredibly grateful to have had her there and would have her again if I choose to add to the family

I honestly don’t have enough words to express what a God send Lilly was to me and my husband. Choosing her as our doula was one of the best decisions we could have made.

My birth didn’t go exactly according to my birth plan since my little one was being very stubborn, but I still had the vaginal delivery I had hoped for, and everything went so smoothly. I truly believe that if Lilly hadn’t been there advocating for us, supporting us, and guiding us every step of the way, our experience would have been very different.

She also did my placenta encapsulation, and the entire process was seamless. Beyond labor prep and delivery, Lilly answered every single one of my questions with so much patience, kindness, and genuine care. She taught me techniques for collecting colostrum before my daughter arrived, gave me invaluable breastfeeding tips, and always knew how to put my mind at ease whenever I felt anxious.

Lilly wasn’t just our doula, she became such an important part of one of the most meaningful days of our lives. We are forever grateful for everything she did for our family.

Without hesitation, I recommend Lilly to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly exceptional doula. She will forever hold a special place in our family’s heart.

Thank you, Lilly, for everything you did for us. We will never forget it. ??

I am completely grateful for the help and support at all times—before, during, and after the birth. The emotional support, the psychoeducation regarding labor, among other important things. In my experience, the success of my natural birth had a lot to do with my doula. Thank you.

I definitely recommend Lilly to anyone looking for a doula!

She was great during my whole labor process. We started up a week before I gave birth and instantly clicked. She was very supportive and offered a lot of information, and constantly checked in during pregnancy and after. She also made sure I was okay during my labor process despite a complication that was unexpected occurring. 5 stars ??

As a first time mom, I was terrified of childbirth. There were so many unknowns and I just didn’t feel prepared despite everything I had read about it. I also expected my family to be around when I had the baby, but in reality I was completely alone because of my Uncle passing away a few days prior. 

Lily made me feel so safe, secure and confident as a first time mom. She made my birthing experience so positive. I missed my family -especially my mom- so much, but because Lily was there with me, I was able to get through to birth with almost no complications. Lily made herself available at all times and was so communicative the day my contractions started. She made me feel so calm in the delivery room and overall I just felt she was there to advocate for me and make sure I was taken care of. When I next decide to get pregnant, I will make sure to use Lily as my Doula. I cannot recommend Lily enough. She is truly amazing!

I was referred to her through a program I’m in, and I had no idea what a doula was. I definitely do not regret it because Lilly was a great support for me throughout my entire process, even after giving birth. During the pregnancy, she was with me step by step, always keeping me well-informed and preparing me to know what to expect at the moment of delivery. During the delivery, she was always there, helping me at every moment and creating a good environment to keep me distracted and improve my experience. It is because of her that I can say my experience was more beautiful than I expected. Even after giving birth, she always stayed in contact with me and helped me a lot with her advice, suggestions, and knowledge. She is an incredible person and completely professional.

“Lilly is a wonderful doula! She is always attentive and has the answers to all my questions. She has been great to me even postpartum constantly checking in and answering questions or concerns I’ve had as a first time mom. Going into my second pregnancy, she has been yet again wonderful. She answers all my calls and messages in a timely manner. She has such a gentle approach to each situation I have gone through in this pregnancy making it that much easier. I would highly recommend."
