About Me

Hi, I'm Iliana Ipes! I'm 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. Supporting families through this transformative experience is truly my calling.

I also provide birth photography and videography, capturing the raw and transformative moments of labor with artistry and sensitivity, so you can hold onto those precious memories forever.

I believe birth is a deeply personal and transformative experience, and my role is to protect that space while helping you feel safe, seen, and supported. My goal is to nurture both parents and baby, helping families feel informed, empowered, and supported as they step into parenthood.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is non-dogmatic, evidence-based, and grounded. I believe birth is a deeply personal and transformative experience, and my role is to protect that space, offering trustworthy information without pushing any single agenda, so you can make the choices that feel right for you.

I bring a calm, grounded presence to every family I support, focusing on building trust, offering tools to help you feel confident during pregnancy, and providing gentle, compassionate care in the postpartum period. I meet you exactly where you are, honoring your unique journey while helping you feel safe, seen, and supported.

Overall, my goal is to nurture both parents and baby, helping families feel informed, empowered, and supported as they step into parenthood.
