Hi, my name is Liliana,
Raised in a lineage of strong women, I was born in my grandmother’s home in Oaxaca, lovingly welcomed by both my grandmother and great-grandmother. Their wisdom and care continue to shape my journey as a doula, where I provide compassionate, culturally rooted support for birthing individuals and families.
This fall, I will begin my Master’s in Social Work to deepen my advocacy for marginalized communities, particularly undocumented and immigrant families navigating reproductive care. I believe in apapachando—holding space with warmth, empathy, and strength—so that every birthing person feels empowered and truly supported.
For me, this work is not just about birth but about nurturing families, uplifting communities, and embracing each person in their full humanity

Hola, mi nombre es Liliana,
Crecí en un linaje de mujeres fuertes y nací en la casa de mi abuela en Oaxaca, donde fui recibida con amor por las manos de mi abuela y bisabuela. Su sabiduría y cuidado han moldeado mi camino como doula, brindando apoyo compasivo y culturalmente arraigado a personas gestantes y sus familias.
Este otoño, comenzaré mi maestría en Trabajo Social para fortalecer mi labor de defensa por las comunidades marginadas, especialmente las familias inmigrantes e indocumentadas que enfrentan barreras en el acceso a la atención reproductiva. Creo en el apapacho—sostener con calidez, empatía y fortaleza—para que cada persona que acompaño en su parto se sienta empoderada y verdaderamente apoyada.
Para mí, este trabajo no es solo sobre el nacimiento; es sobre nutrir familias, fortalecer comunidades y abrazar a cada persona en toda su humanidad

Hi my name is Lacey and I have two children of my own. As a passionate and compassionate doula, I offer dedicated birth and postpartum care, supporting families through some of life’s most transformative moments. My journey into the doula world began after my own birth experience, where I felt the absence of strong, supportive care. My desire to ensure others don’t experience the same led me to pursue doula training.
My passion deepened when I had the opportunity to assist a close friend during her labor. The joy and fulfillment I felt from being able to provide guidance and support in that intimate moment ignited a calling I could not ignore. Since then, I have been committed to helping others navigate pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period with confidence, comfort, and love.
With a focus on compassionate care, I am known for my punctuality, empathy, and the genuine connection I build with each client. I am dedicated to providing tailored support that aligns with each family’s unique needs, ensuring they feel empowered and well-informed every step of the way. My approach to doula care is rooted in trust, respect, and a deep commitment to each family’s journey.
Whether you're preparing for birth or navigating the early days of parenthood, I offer the experience, support, and compassion you need during these life-changing experiences.
