Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi, I’m Lily.
My journey into birth work began within my own community. I witnessed several close friends move through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum feeling unsupported, overwhelmed, and alone during one of the most vulnerable transitions of their lives. Seeing their experiences awakened something profound in me. I knew that every person deserves to feel held, informed, and deeply supported throughout their journey into parenthood.

That calling led me to pursue formal training at UCSD, where I built a strong foundation in birth support and where I am now honored to serve as a volunteer Doula Mentor, helping guide and inspire future birth workers.

As a Full Spectrum Doula, I combine evidence-based education with compassionate, heart-centered care. I trust in the body's innate wisdom while providing a grounded, calming, and protective presence for the families I serve. My intention is to help you feel empowered, nurtured, and supported every step of the way—so you can move through this transformative chapter with confidence, dignity, and trust in yourself.

Practice Philosophy

I believe birth—from conception through postpartum—is one of the most profound transformations a person can experience. It is far more than a physical event; it is an initiation into a new chapter of life, affecting not only the birthing person but the entire family.

My role is to be a steady, compassionate presence throughout that journey. I create a safe, judgment-free space where you can make informed choices, trust your intuition, and welcome your baby in a way that feels aligned with your values and desires.

Through evidence-based education, holistic support, breathwork, comfort techniques, and emotional guidance, I help families feel empowered during pregnancy, grounded during birth, and deeply cared for in the postpartum season.

I believe every parent deserves to feel seen, supported, and nourished as they step into this new identity. My work is rooted in the understanding that when we care for the parent, we strengthen the entire family.

At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: gentle, supported births create ripples of healing that extend across generations. It is an honor to walk beside families during one of the most sacred and transformative moments of their lives.
