About Me

I am Iliana Ipes, a birth doula, photographer, and bodywork apprentice based in Los Angeles. I support families with a calm, grounded presence, offering emotional reassurance, hands-on comfort techniques, and partner guidance throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I also provide birth photography and videography, capturing the raw and transformative moments of labor with artistry and sensitivity.

My philosophy is that birth is a deeply personal and transformative experience, and my role is to protect that space while helping you feel safe, seen, and supported. I focus on building trust, giving tools to feel confident during pregnancy, and providing gentle, compassionate care in the postpartum period. My goal is to nurture both parents and baby, helping families feel informed, empowered, and supported as they step into parenthood.
