About me
I’ve always been drawn to birth and babies—what started as childhood curiosity grew into a calling after the birth of my first child. In 2020, I became a certified birth doula, and today I serve families across the Dallas/Fort Worth area with personalized support through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Whether you’re planning a hospital, home, or surrogacy journey, my role is to support your choices and vision—offering practical help, emotional encouragement, and steady, grounded advocacy when it matters most. What makes my care unique is that I’ve experienced birth from multiple sides—I’ve given birth naturally with a midwife and have also served as a surrogate, helping bring a long-awaited baby into the arms of hopeful parents. These experiences give me a deep respect for how personal and sacred birth truly is. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me baking sourdough, doing something hands-on and “crunchy,” or creating alongside my kids—but at the heart of it all, birth work isn’t just what I do, it’s part of who I am.

Ratings and reviews
Katie at Little Lilacs Birth Services was absolutely incredible! From the very beginning of my pregnancy, she was there to guide me through every step, patiently answering my million questions and offering expert advice that always made me feel supported and confident. She helped us revisit and refresh all the birth techniques we had learned before, giving us the tools and reassurance we needed to achieve another unmedicated birth with confidence. During labor and birth, Katie was calm, attentive, and completely present. Her support went beyond just guidance—she anticipated our needs, encouraged us when we felt unsure, and helped create a birth experience that felt empowering and safe. Beyond her professional expertise, Katie has a warmth and kindness that makes her feel like a lifelong friend. She truly cares about the families she works with and goes above and beyond to make the journey from pregnancy to birth as smooth and joyful as possible. I can’t recommend Katie and Little Lilacs Birth Services enough to anyone looking for a doula who combines knowledge, compassion, and genuine friendship.

We can’t recommend Amber enough as a doula. We had planned to labor at our home and then head to the hospital to give birth, but I had a precipitous labor, which we had no prior indication would occur—particularly given this is my first pregnancy. Amber was cool, calm, and collected for our as the birth turned into an unexpected home birth. She took charge with recommending that we call paramedics just in case and then provided guidance to the paramedics throughout the birth when they asked for help, as they hadn’t delivered a baby before. And throughout the birth, she provided reassurance and coaching to me, which was invaluable, as the whole birth was such a shock and a blur. If Amber hadn’t been there, we’re unsure what would have happened because, as first time parents, we had no idea things could progress as quickly as they did, and Amber was critical to identifying that the birth had turned emergent. We named our son Ezekiel, which means “God strengthens” because he gave me strength throughout the pregnancy and most notably through the birth. I 100% believe Amber is one of the ways in which God provided strength and that our meeting was by divine appointment. Amber is an absolute gem and exactly who you’d want in your corner!

I don’t know what I would’ve done without Mrs. Donna as my doula! She made my birthing experience perfect! We had some hiccups at the hospital with the doctor on call and my husband and I couldn’t stop saying “thank goodness we had Donna there”! I will recommend her to everyone I know having a baby. She was like family from start to finish. She prepared me so well for birth, laboring at home and then by my side at the hospital. I fully trust all of her recommendations from her for myself and my baby girl. 10/10 recommend!
- Paige DeMoore
I LOVED working w Abby for my placenta encapsulation. To be honest I wasn’t sure if encapsulating my placenta was for me, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to do some research and move forward with encapsulating it just in case. And I’m SO happy I went in that direction. I didn’t take it until 10 days PP, (1) bc I just forgot lol (2) I wasn’t sure what to expect. When I reached out to Abby for reassurance that’s exactly what I received, data and genuine support. So I moved forward with taking it and I’m so grateful I did. I went from feeling somewhat numb (though I wasn’t fully aware of it), to feeling immense gratitude. Gratitude for my baby, for the support I was receiving and the present moment. It had a beautiful way of taking the edge off of the PP journey and keeping me present to what really mattered. With my 1st born I had severe PPD and PPA and I had none of that w my 2nd born and I attribute a lot of that to encapsulating my placenta. Abby was so amazing to work with. She was available to answer any of my questions before, during and after the process and went above and beyond to ensure it was an incredible experience. I 10/10 recommend placenta encapsulation and working with Abby to do it! She came recommended to me and I’m so grateful our paths aligned, thank you Little Lilacs and Abby!!
- Christina Deering
I cannot recommend Suzie Sulak highly enough. From our first meeting, Suzie brought a sense of calm and confidence that completely changed my perspective on childbirth. During labor, she was a steady, grounding presence who knew exactly when to offer encouragement and when to provide physical support. She helped my partner feel included and empowered, too. Having Suzie by our side was the best decision we made for our birth story.

I used them in 2024 to do placenta Encapsulation and they were amazing! They were busy around the time I gave birth, but they communicated that with me and ended up picking up my placenta from my house. The encapsulated it pretty fast. And it made a huge difference in my recovery. This is my fifth time giving birth, but my first time using this process and I highly recommend anyone else to use it if you are thinkg about it!
- Nolini Mohetau
We loved having Madison as our post partum doula. She was so kind, sweet and helpful in my first weeks as a brand new mom. I especially appreciated that on days when I didn’t know what tasks to give her, she would always find things to do to make my life easier. Always refilling different areas in my house with baby items, keeping bottles and laundry cleaned and even noticing that it was time to go through those newborn clothes and pull out the 0-3s and help reorganize the dresser. She took care of me and my sweet girl and we couldn’t be more thankful!
- Brittany Bourque
I contracted Little Lilacs’ birth doula service after my OB/GYN recommended them, and having Larissa Parker as our doula was one of the best decisions I made for my birth. From the very beginning, Larissa was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in understanding my goals and concerns. We had two in-person sessions with her that were essential in setting realistic expectations, creating a thoughtful birth plan, and preparing me for labor day. She also took the time to teach us how to use the TENS unit they provide, which became a valuable tool during labor. On the day of delivery, Larissa’s presence was absolutely fundamental to the success of my birth experience. My goal was to have the most natural birth possible, with minimal medical intervention, and Larissa was the key person who helped make that possible. She continuously supported me through contractions using hands-on techniques such as massage, guiding me into effective labor positions, and helping me stay calm and focused. Just as importantly, she provided clear, timely information that empowered me to make informed decisions in collaboration with the hospital team, which gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. Larissa was not only a source of physical support, but also emotional and mental strength during one of the most intense moments of my life. I can honestly say that without her guidance and steady presence, I would likely have chosen an epidural, which was not part of my original plan. I am incredibly grateful for Larissa’s support and highly recommend her and Little Lilacs to anyone seeking a truly supported and empowering birth experience.
- Taciana Kogawa
Little Lilacs was amazing. Especially my doula, Katie Woolums. This was my 2nd time giving birth and the first did not go so well, so I was very intent on doing everything possible to make this one go way better. Katie was instrumental in making that happen. She taught us stretches and positions to not only prepare for the birth but to make me more comfortable as I got bigger. I'm never one to admit when I'm in labor, but as soon as my husband called Katie, she was talking us through things and once things started progressing, she was with us. My babies always do their best work in the middle of the night and Katie was there the entire step of the way, and she was 20 weeks pregnant herself! I could've done it without her, but I am immensely grateful that I didn't have to.
- Jayci Morrison
We absolutely adored Donna as our doula! Every single step of the way she was so supportive. She had an abundance of resources up her sleeve that we appreciated so much throughout our first pregnancy. Her personality is warm, inviting, and full of joy. Whether you need to laugh or cry, Donna is going to be right there with you. She was the calm and steadiness that we needed, and she was so encouraging. When we had to navigate unexpected decisions, she was an amazing resource, and comforter, and helped us navigate stressful situations with confidence and peace. We are so grateful we chose her to join us on this journey, and we would choose her a million times over again. She is a gem!!
- Elizabeth Pradez
My experience with Little Lilacs was so amazing! They are easy to communicate with and professional in their approach. My doula Larissa was amazing in helping me prepare for labor and delivery and was such a rock for me and my husband when the time came for us to finally meet our baby girl! The prenatal and post-partum visits were so impactful for me, there was so much I learned from her and as a first time mom it has made all the difference.
- Olivia Heim
I highly recommend Little Lilacs service - it was easy to contact a doula and complete the necessary forms to get started. Our doula, Katie W., was an awesome resource and source of information preparing for, during and after labor. What was most valuable of course was her committed support during our (unmedicated) labor - I really cannot imagine getting through it drug free without her constant physical and emotional support and help, which also really helped my husband feel like he was not alone in supporting his wife. She was super down to earth and encouraging and supportive, every step of the way! If you are unsure about hiring doula, take this as a sign to do it! Best resource to add to your labor toolkit!

The Best Decision I Made for My Birth Experience – Thank You, Larissa From the moment I first spoke with Larissa on the phone, I felt her energy, compassion, and confidence — and I knew she was the right doula for me. That feeling only deepened during our first in-person meeting. After she left, my husband turned to me and said, “There’s no doubt. You want her to be there.” He was absolutely right. Larissa supported me throughout my entire pregnancy journey and birth — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. No question was too big or too small. Whether I was asking about research-based evidence or old wives' tales, she was always there with thoughtful, balanced answers, empowering me to make informed decisions every step of the way. She never imposed her opinion, only offered her unwavering support and made sure I felt confident and never pressured in my choices. That kind of advocacy is priceless. I went into labor early one morning with contractions about five minutes apart. I called Larissa and within an hour, she was already at our home. We headed to the hospital shortly after and I was admitted at 9.5cm dilated! Everything progressed quickly, and yet Larissa was the calm in the storm — grounded, prepared, and incredibly intuitive. When I was wheeled into the labor and delivery room, already 10cm dilated and in the middle of intense contractions, Larissa didn’t miss a beat. She made sure my birth preferences were clearly communicated to the nurses, advocating for me when I couldn’t. Her words gave me such a deep sense of peace. I knew I was in good hands — that my voice was being heard, even when I couldn't speak. Our baby was born after just under two hours of pushing — and surprise! — sunny side up. Throughout it all, Larissa never left my side. She understood my needs and priorities so deeply, never forgetting what we’d discussed in our prenatal meetings. With no family nearby to support us, she became our rock — not only for me, but for my husband and toddler as well. This was my second (and last) pregnancy, and because of Larissa, it was also my most empowered, beautiful, and unforgettable birthing experience. I cannot imagine going through it without her. Larissa is not only an incredible doula, she is one of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met. I will forever be grateful to her for the way she held space for me, respected me, and helped me bring my baby into the world with strength, dignity, and love. If you're considering Larissa as your doula — take this as your sign. She is everything you’d hope for and more.

We had a great experience working with Allisa for the birth of our first child. We really appreciate her help beginning with a private birth education class, through labor and delivery, and through postpartum check ins. Her help at the hospital, in particular, was incredibly valuable. She made sure we had all the information we needed to make our birth plan, to stick to it during labor and delivery, she helped with labor positions and counterpressure to ease labor pains, and was an incredibly reassuring presence throughout the process. We are so blessed to have had her with us during the birth of our child.
- Taylor Walling
I truly cannot thank Larissa Parker enough for walking with me through one of the most important moments of my life. Going into labor, I carried so many fears and anxieties about what birth would be like. She met me exactly where I was listening, reassuring, and helping me prepare not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. When the big day finally came, she was an incredible source of peace and strength. She knew when to step in with guidance, when to encourage me, and when to quietly hold space so I could stay grounded. Her presence gave me the confidence to trust my body and embrace the process, and because of her support, I was able to experience the birth I had prayed for! Looking back, I can see how every small thing she did from answering my endless questions, to offering comfort measures, to calming me when I felt overwhelmed, made a huge difference. I will forever be grateful for her role in helping me welcome my baby into the world in such a beautiful, empowering way. If you’re considering working with Larissa, I can wholeheartedly say she is a gift and a blessing.
- Catherine Zickert
Abby was amazing!! I wouldn’t have been so calm during labor if it weren’t for her. I was able to confide in her when I wasn’t sure what to do or started to get anxious. She was supportive, calm, helpful, and knowledgeable. An amazing doula who knows her stuff!!! And so kind!
- Emma Hyslip
Donna was my doula, she is extremely knowledgeable in her 16 years working as a labor nurse and now Doula. She thoroughly walks me through the birthing process and checks in after every midwife/prenatal visit. She knows every medical term there is on pregnancy and delivery. She was fully supportive on my birthing plan and what I wanted to decline for baby. My contractions happened so fast I had no time to bring food with me. Donna brought me Canes as my postpartum take home meal close to midnight!
- Stacy R. Truong
I am so glad we hire Little Lilacs for my second delivery, we worked with Larissa and she was very attentive and knowledgeable. She give me tools I didn’t use for my first delivery and it was a big game changer! She was super sweet and were with us the whole time we asked her. It was a real pleasure to be by her hand in such a beautiful and private moment. I’ll definitely recommend Larissa and Little Lilacs 🙌🏽💕
- pilar moraga
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kendra during our postpartum journey, and she was truly a lifesaver. From day one, she brought a calm, supportive, and knowledgeable presence into our home—exactly what every new family needs. She made breastfeeding so much easier, helping with latch issues, showing different positions, and guiding us through the initial pain and uncertainty with so much patience and encouragement. Her lactation support alone was worth gold. When it came to newborn care, she taught us practical tips that gave us real confidence—how to soothe our baby, understand different cries, improve sleep stretches, and care for the umbilical cord and diaper area the right way. She never made us feel judged or overwhelmed, just empowered and informed. She also made sure I was cared for—checking in on my healing, nutrition, rest, and emotional well-being in a way that felt nurturing and genuine. We’re deeply grateful for Kendra and would recommend her without hesitation to any new parent. She made the hardest days feel manageable and gave us the tools to thrive.

A Long Overdue Thank You to Carolann Rosso at Little Lilacs It has taken me some time to sit down and write this review—not for lack of gratitude, but because life with a new baby has been wonderfully busy. That said, Carolann Rosso deserves all the recognition and more for the incredible support she gave me as my birth doula during the birth of my first child in 2023. From the very first prenatal visit, Carolann brought a calm, knowledgeable, and truly caring presence into our lives. When the big day finally arrived, she met my husband and me at our birthing center of choice in McKinney—in the middle of the night, no less. I had a long, 21-hour labor, and Carolann stayed with us at the center for a solid 15 hours. Her support never wavered. She was there in all the ways I needed—many of which I didn’t even realize I needed at the time. She helped me stay active throughout labor, applied counter pressure when contractions were intense, used a TENS machine to provide relief, and offered continuous physical and emotional support that made all the difference. What speaks volumes to Carolann's dedication is that she stayed with me through delivery, even though it happened to fall on one of her own child’s birthdays. I encouraged her to go after I delivered, but the fact that she chose to stay until that moment meant the world to me. I simply cannot recommend Carolann enough. From our prenatal meetings through labor and delivery, she was everything we needed and more. Thank you, Carolann, for helping us bring our baby into the world with such care and strength. You will always have a special place in our hearts.
- Kaytlynn Gandy
Vanessa is incredible at what she does. We used her as a night nurse for several months. She’s so good that we were actually kinda sad that our son started sleeping through the night, because we don’t get to see Vanessa anymore. 😂 Our son took to her immediately. Babies have a knack for good vibes and he and Vanessa definitely vibed. It especially made me happy that Vanessa was always so excited to see him. You can tell how much she cares for these kids. We’re looking for any excuse to get her back in the loop. Let’s have a sleep regression! We can’t wait for our next baby to get to know Vanessa just as well as this one does.
- Casey Sprague
I don’t think I can put into words how grateful I am for Courtney. She was an absolutely incredible doula — grounded, warm, intuitive, and truly supportive in every sense of the word. From the moment we connected (on very short notice!), she brought a sense of calm and reassurance that never wavered. I found Courtney later in my pregnancy than most people do, but she was incredibly flexible and jumped in without hesitation. She came to support us during one of the scariest times — when our newborn had jaundice and we were terrified and overwhelmed — and she helped us feel informed, comforted, and not alone. Courtney supported me—pre and postpartum—emotionally, physically, and mentally throughout the experience, always knowing just what I needed — sometimes before I did. I truly can’t imagine going through this without her. If you’re considering working with Courtney, do it. She is one of a kind.
- Kelcy Parrish
Courtney is my doula and she was such a great match to support me and my husband through the birth of our first baby. She gave me confidence, comfort, and techniques to make my unmedicated birth successful. She was a great advocate for me and our birth plan, and a wonderful source of knowledge when I was unsure on certain things. I also took her birthing intensive which was helpful to really understand what happens during birth, the interventions and options for the whole experience. We will be using her again for our future births!
- Brittnee Mitchell
If anyone is looking for a sign to have a doula present during your birth, this is it and Vanessa is your girl. Couldn’t say enough great things about her! She made my whole birthing experiencing so much more enjoyable this second time. If I have more kids I am 100% having her there again. She arrived at the hospital and just took charge of helping me. She was so funny and easy to talk to but also really guided me through the birthing process and answered any questions I had. It’s an experience I won’t ever forget and I swear she made it that much more memorable.
- kimberlee g
Hiring a doula is the one of the best decisions I ever made! It made such a huge difference in this birth experience compared to my first. Courtney was so knowledgeable and really helped to make this birth so much more empowering. I felt much more calm and in control having her support. I am so glad I found this company and Courtney!
- Holly Vasquez
I cannot recommend Vanessa enough! She supported me through both of my birth experiences, and I truly don’t know how I would’ve done it without her. With my first son, I experienced predromal labor, which was physically and emotionally exhausting. Vanessa was a calming presence through it all—steady, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. She helped me manage the uncertainty and discomfort, and her support made a huge difference. With my second son, Vanessa was instrumental in helping me achieve the unmedicated birth I had hoped for. Thanks to her guidance and pain relief techniques—including the use of a TENS unit—I was able to stay focused and in control throughout labor. She brought so much comfort, strength, and reassurance at every stage. Vanessa is compassionate, professional, and incredibly skilled. She advocates for your choices, honors your birth preferences, and makes you feel empowered. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side for both of my boys’ births.
- Brittany Dempsey
Vanessa is absolutely incredible! She was our doula for my second birth in the hospital and for our third birth at a birthing center. She provides such a calming presence and is great at reading what you need in the moment. She was always available for questions. During labor, she provided guidance for positioning, physical support, and emotional support the entire time. She was such a huge part of our journey, and we are so thankful!
- Allison Ball
We enrolled our doula Courtney through little lilacs. To say she was phenomenal would be an understatement. As first time parents, she helped us get a thorough understanding of the process and prepare well for our little girl’s arrival. And on the day of, she was extremely supportive and helped us voice our preferences for the entire duration of 30+ hours of labor. Even the postpartum support I got was super important. Would 100% recommend their services!
- Priyanka Amos
I hired Larissa as my post partum doula after having my child early and needing support (for both myself and my child) in the first few weeks back home. Larissa was exactly what our family needed - she was encouraging, patient and kind. She helped us with bathing, breastfeeding, making bottles, and more including answering all our new parent questions (and we had a lot!) Larissa has a calming and reassuring energy and approach to her care taking. Even after our contract has ended, we’re still in contact sharing baby updates. I couldn’t recommend Larissa more.
- Nicole Hart
I cannot say enough good things about Donna. She was an absolute dream to work with throughout pregnancy and delivery of our miracle baby. I'm an older first time mom and because my pregnancy was long-awaited, we started the doula search early. We had a list of doulas we wanted to consult with before choosing but when we met with Donna that was it. She was always responsive, warm, informative and not intrusive. She also never advised me to go against what my doctor was saying, she gave information and explanations, empowered me to be able to ask questions and at my delivery she was the best cheerleader. She empowered my husband to be able to support me and I know my delivery was made such a wonderful experience because we had Donna. I'm forever grateful.
- Shana Penn
I highly recommend getting a doula! Especially if this is your first baby, Katie was the missing piece we needed! As a first time mom, we didn’t even know where to start! Katie was able to walk my husband and I through all of our questions and get us thinking about things that hadn’t even crossed our mind. She was great to give us an unbiased opinion and lay out all the facts and all of our options. I feel like doctors rush you a bit and Katie was there to slow it down and help my husband and I make educated decisions and be prepared and knowledgeable about all of our options throughout the pregnancy and birth. During birth she was there to walk me through every step and help me feel prepared and supported and safe. If you are considering getting a doula, do it!! And pick Katie!!
- Alexis Burch
We recently used Katie as our birth doula and I could not say enough positive things! She is knowledgeable, personable, and helped immensely in having a positive birth experience, even with things going a bit differently than I had planned. She was always available to answer any questions and was extremely helpful and supportive during my delivery. If you’re in the fence about hiring a doula, do it! 10/10 would recommend Katie and we can’t wait to use her again with our next baby!!
- Sara Healey
If you are on the fence about hiring a doula, hire Courtney. If you are expecting and haven't given a doula any thought, still go ahead and hire Courtney. She was absolutely invaluable throughout pregnancy/postpartum and especially during labor and delivery. We had two prenatal visits to go over our birth plan/labor positions/etc, she was there throughout my 40+ hour labor, visited postpartum and was always available to call/text with any questions. With a background in pelvic health, I did what I could to help prepare for delivery but things don't always go as planned. Courtney helped ease our minds and helped navigate changes as they came. She provided unbiased guidance so we could make informed decisions during the whole process. Courtney is an absolute blessing from God and we are very thankful to share the intimate memories of the birth of our first son with her. I highly recommend Courtney as your doula for your next birth.
- Natalie Hager
I didn’t think I needed a doula because I was having a scheduled c section. But when I started having complications in the last few weeks, a family member suggested a doula. Courtney was a great fit for my family, supported all my choices eventhough they weren’t “all natural”. She gave me the support I needed in the last few weeks before delivery when I was too sick to prepare on my own. She listened and gave information and advice that was new to me eventhough I am an experienced mom. Courtney was with us in the last trimester, birth and postpartum and I honestly feel like I could not have done any of it without her! Doula Mary also stepped in a few times when I needed something last minute - she was outstanding too! Comforting and wonderful with my 2 year old. Little lilacs is a network of wonderful doulas who will never leave you without the support you need 💕
- April Marotta
Katie Woolums was an absolute blessing during our l&d experience. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and to provide her knowledge and expertise. We were so fortunate to have her with us during the birth of our baby.
- Pamella T. Gann
We had Abby as our doula for our first birth recently and I cannot recommend her enough! If it wasn’t for Abby, I wouldn’t have gotten as natural as a birth as I could have gotten after being induced nor would my labor have progressed as quickly as it did. Abby was hands down the reason I was able to have a natural birth in a hospital. She kept me moving through labor, she supported me both emotionally and physically through my birth and she also helped to support my husband through the entire process. She was an advocate for the birth that we wanted when we were unsure of our choices and options. She has also been an amazing resource for answering my endless questions around pregnancy and birth as a FTM. I truly can’t say enough good things how having Abby at our side made our birthing experience. If you are questioning whether you should have a doula the answer is yes and Abby with Little Lilacs is a great choice!
- Jessica Archetti
Katie Woolums was my doula and without a doubt was the best decision I ever made as a part of my labor journey. It started with a google video call meet where I interviewed Katie and she was so bubbly and had this amazing smiling aura! Right off the bat I knew she was going to be my doula. She was always available on text or call as needed. We had 2 prenatal visits where she explained the birthing process and gave tons of positions to help with pain management. She was punctual and answered all my questions! During labor, she was available, checking in periodically when I was at home and was available for me at the hospital when I told her I needed her. I was able to achieve exactly what my birth plan said no epidural and all natural and couldn’t have done it without her. She motivated me, literally at times let me lay in her arms at the peak of the contraction. Before I hit active labor, there was a phase where my contractions weren’t rhythmic and she gave me the best advise to take warm relaxing bath in the tub which was exactly what I needed and minutes after my mucus plug was out! Katie is knowledgeable, empathetic, sweet and exactly who you need on your birthing team! Thank you Katie for helping me meet my goal 😊
- Sneha Iyer
I'm so thankful for Carolann! She is very knowledgeable and provided great research to help me navigate key decisions. She is very responsive. I felt like I was her only client. She was very generous with her time and came over several times outside of our allotted appointments to make me feel supported and prepared. And she saved the day during my birth when the doctor on call was trying to convince me to get unnecessary interventions and she came up with natural alternatives that were successful. Would definitely recommend!
- Nikki Rosema
So thankful for my experience with Lily and Suzie! Lily was so much help preparing me for labor and delivery and postpartum as well, and Suzie was amazing during labor. I give Suzie full credit and the reason why I was able to have a completely unmedicated birth. She knew exactly what positions to labor in, pain relief methods to use on me (hip squeezes , etc), and the correct breathing to get through my active labor/transition/and pushing. My husband and I both were amazed by her and call her the “birth whisperer”. I am so happy with all the support, help, and knowledge received from both Lily and Suzie! They truly care about your goals and helping you get to what you sought out to do!
- Mallory Hultgren
We hired Katie to be our doula at birth and our postpartum doula. She was FANTASTIC. She helped us navigate every up and down and answered all our questions, no matter how silly. She was there when I just needed to talk, and gave me the encouragement I needed to deliver unmediated and naturally. Would HIGHLY recommend her and Little Lilacs. They are a wonderful organization that is truly dedicated to helping women navigate this new season of life.
- Aleja Noel Allen
Just so incredibly thankful I had Allisa as my Doula. Allisa was so knowledgeable, supportive, and empowering during my pregnancy and birth. While I know it doesn’t happen for everyone, I was able to have the birth experience I envisioned and I credit much to that because of Allisa and her support. I wasn’t sure at the very beginning what type of birth experience I wanted, mostly because I wasn’t as knowledgeable. In talking to Allisa, she was able to better educate me and provide resources to help me make my decision to have an unmedicated birth. Allisa throughout my pregnancy was someone I could easily reach out to for simple questions and get input on. When it came to my birth, things were not progressing as far along and it seemingly looked as though I would require an induction. Before my induction Allisa was actively supporting me to try and induce labor naturally and I was able to do so. Anything she recommended to me I did and found it all very successful! During labor, Allisa was able to help my husband and I instantly get comfortable and she was absolutely the best support person during labor. As this being my first experience with a Doula, she did more than I ever thought. While I was lucky to have the labor experience of my dreams, I believe Allisa was a true blessing to help me reach my goals. If you’re hesitant about a Doula, I would highly recommend Allisa regardless of the birth experience you plan to have. My doctor was so impressed, she even wanted to know more about the Doula services. Through Allisa I was also introduced to Carolann who was a back-up and very professional! I was able to have Carolann support me by scheduling an induction massage and it was amazing!

Little Lilacs is amazing. We particularly liked working with Vanessa Delgado. It was a last minute change because our initial doula had a family emergency. She ended up being the perfect addition to our birth :)!
- Alexis Anderson
Love Little Lilacs and Katie W. Katie was there early on in my pregnancy and answered so many of my questions and concerns. On the day I gave birth, she was there to help guide me with information on different interventions and overall helped me have the birth I wanted without pain meds. She was everything I could have asked for in that moment, coaching me through breathing and reassuring me I can do this. My husband and I are so grateful for Katie!
- Erica Walby
Love Katie W! She was such an incredible resource for my husband and I during pregnancy. I can't thank her enough. She was always quick to respond when I had pregnancy or labor questions. She helped my husband and I feel confident and informed for the entire process and I am forever grateful for her!
- Marissa Villanueva
We are super grateful to have had Katie W. as our doula! I contacted her really early in my pregnancy so I was able to get many of my questions answered throughout my pregnancy (normal symptoms, chiropractor recommendations, etc.). My labor started pretty abruptly and Katie was able to get to the hospital right away. My husband doesn’t really have the touch so she was able to guide him or even step in with support during contractions. My husband initially didn’t understand the need for a doula but after birth, even he said he couldn’t have imagined the birth without her!
- Myranda Marshall
Just here to give a rave review for Doula Donna! Her mix of professionalism and nurturing spirit were exactly what my husband and I were looking for in a doula. This was our first pregnancy, and we knew we wanted an unmedicated, no-interventions approach to the labor and delivery process. Donna was a wealth of knowledge and reassurance, helping us think through all the aspects of our birth plan and providing resources as we mentally and emotionally prepared for the birth experience. We loved our virtual and in-person meetings with her prior to labor. During labor, Donna was a calming presence and just exactly what we needed. She worked wonderfully with my husband as he provided me with emotional support, and she partnered effortlessly with our midwifery team to ensure that the care we received was exactly what we hoped for. The way she was able to partner with the midwives throughout the process made a big impression on my husband and helped both of us feel calm and fully supported through labor. Through our whole experience pre, during, and post birth, Donna was communicative, flexible, reassuring, and loving. We highly recommend her services!

Having Allisa as our doula was AMAZING! I could not have delivered my baby boy without her by my side. She was so informative and gave me all the tools to prepare my birth plan. From the moment we hired her I knew I was going to be able to make the choices for my body, and so I did. Although I had to be induced two weeks before, Allisa was so encouraging and made me feel like I was still going to be able to accomplish and follow my birth plan. I found my natural labor to be incredibly challenging, and I don’t think I was emotionally prepared for the birth. I truly believe that I would not have gotten through my labored naturally if it weren’t for Allisa’s help. Also, when I wanted an epidural, she talked me out of it, which is exactly what my wishes were. If I had given in to getting an epidural, I think I would have had some regrets. Allisa was an invaluable asset to my birthing team, I would hire her in a heartbeat! Having her felt like having a friend, I sure will be using her for my next babies.

Having Lily as our birth doula for the arrival of our first child was an absolute blessing. Her extensive knowledge, proactive communication, and unwavering kindness made all the difference for us. Every interaction with Lily reassured us; she listened attentively and made us feel genuinely cared for. Throughout my high-risk pregnancy, Lily provided invaluable support, offering new insights and ensuring we understood all our options. From pregnancy through labor and delivery, Lily transformed our journey into a profoundly empowering and memorable experience. We are incredibly grateful for her presence and support—truly, we couldn't have navigated this without her!
- Araceli Hintermeister
We have nothing but glowing reviews for Donna!! She was absolutely amazing. As a first time mom, I was nervous and wanted the support of a doula who could explain things and help me be informed about all of my decisions and options for birth. We felt like Donna treated us like family from the moment we met her. She was there every step of the way and I truly believe that she made our experience more calm, more memorable, and more positive overall. If you are looking for someone who will empower and inspire you to advocate for yourself and your baby, Donna is the one!!
- Meghan Lawrence
We had a great experience. We worked with Katie W. starting at 34 weeks. From the beginning, she was empathetic, courteous, and very approachable. This was our first pregnancy and she patiently answered our many questions during our first two meetings and provided so many great resources. She had often and clear communication through our entire experience. On the actual day of delivery, I was extremely impressed with Katie as she supported us during the entire labor, which in our case was quite lengthy and demanding. I was also quite touched by the compassion she showed my wife during the most difficult times of the labor. Highly, highly recommend using this service, and especially recommend Katie.
- Miguel De Jesus
Vanessa has walked with my through pregnancy and birth of both of my daughters. Besides being a beautiful soul and support, she did so much to help me have the birth that I wanted. It was important to me to have an unmedicated birth as much as possible and I was able to achieve that with her help. Vanessa provided non-medicated interventions like a comb, tens unit, and essential oils in addition to position changes, counter pressure, encouraging words and praying over me throughout the birth. She worked seamlessly with the medical team in the hospital to care for me, clean away any dirty linens etc., and calmed me to keep my blood pressure stable. She coached and supported me through decisions leading up to and during the induction, and gave me the tough facts when I needed to hear them. Vanessa was also supportive of my mother and husband who were there, coaching them on how to support me before, during and after labor. My husband doesn’t do well with blood and she even provided guidance for when he might do best to step away. She helped me with the initial nursing of my baby and when she had to be taken away for observation, Vanessa stayed with me while my family went with the baby. She reassured me and made sure I understood everything happening throughout the entire labor and delivery. I am so grateful for her calming and supportive presence throughout my pregnancy and birth and cannot imagine the journey without her.
- Emily Morgan
Working with Lily Hill as my doula was one of the best decisions I could have made for my pregnancy and especially my delivery. I cannot sing her praises enough. Lily is so informative, empathetic, communicative, kind and a wealth of knowledge. I could not imagine not having Lily at my birth and hope to work with her again for any future pregnancy.
- Erin Lahutsky
I highly recommend Little Lilacs, specifically had Katie Woolums as my doula. Having her be there during the birth of my son is an experience I will look back on positively and carry with me forever. She provided a safe, welcoming space, a calming presence, the perfect physical support, a guiding light in the dark unknown, and an invaluable opinion and wealth of knowledge during all the right times. Anytime I had a question or was curious about a topic, she would have the research on it. Her communication is spot on and she is on top of dates, check ins, etc. A TENS unit is provided and it was very helpful for me during labor. Little Lilacs makes the contract and payment process super seamless. I would definitely have Katie again as my doula!
- Gina C
My husband and I had the most amazing experience working with Lily as our birth doula. She went above and beyond to provide the most exceptional support during the birth of our first baby. When my birth plan didn’t go as planned and I had to be induced, Lily stepped up in a big way to ease my fears of the unknown and help me to have the best birth experience possible. She really was the calm in my storm of swirling emotions. She also helped my husband feel confident in his supporting role during the birth. I truly didn’t think that I could love my birth under the circumstances I was in, but Lily helped make that a reality. Words cannot express how grateful I am for her warm, nurturing presence throughout my pregnancy and birth. She is the best of the best!
- Libby Rennick
I hired Vanessa for my second baby in my third trimester and im so glad i did! She jumped straight in and immediately supported me in every way possible. She is an amazing source of knowledge and education about birth and made me feel confident in all my decisions. She made herself available anytime I had questions and quickly came over to my house when i thought i was in labor to do the miles circuit. When that jump started labor she stayed close to the hospital and met me there immediately and was with me the entire time and after to support. I am so thankful I had her to coach me through the birth and reassure me that I was capable the entire time! I could not have done it without her!
- Brooke Tokar
We had a wonderful experience with both Jessica as our birth doula and Mary as our postpartum doula. This was our fourth child, but first time using Little Lilacs and what a blessing it turned out to be! Jessica was a crucial support during labor and the birth. This was not my first rodeo, but every birth is different, and I was so thankful to have Jessica by my side to encourage, motivate, and physically support me during the process. Mary supported us as a postpartum doula for the first several weeks after we brought baby home. Each time she visited she brought peace, assurance, and warmth to our chaotic newborn household. Mary was eager to help however we needed it- from doing chores to caring for our baby to playing with the older kids in the backyard. She kept us from feeling overwhelmed and allowed us to enjoy precious early moments together as a family. I am so grateful for both of these ladies and would hire them again in a heartbeat!
- Mrs. Ashley Arnett
Highly highly recommend hiring a doula from Little Lilacs Birth Services!! My husband and I worked with Katie W. from 15 weeks pregnant through postpartum, and she helped equip and prepare us for every stage of pregnancy and what to expect after, while also providing so much support and coaching in the days leading up to having our baby and as we welcomed him into the world. Having an expert to lean on and trust throughout my first pregnancy made it such a more peaceful and joyful experience. Thank you Katie for all that you do!!!
- Brittainy Lykins
My husband found Venessa through a simple Google search, and after contacting Little Lilac, she was assigned to us as our doula. Meeting Venessa truly impacted my life. During my second pregnancy, I was determined to have a VBAC after my first delivery ended in a c-section. I needed someone to guide and support me through this journey, and Venessa was the perfect fit. Her authentic personality, exceptional listening skills, and willingness to go above and beyond made all the difference. Venessa supported me from early labor at home to the delivery room, where she took charge and even guided the nurses. Her calming presence and positivity were invaluable during labor and delivery, ultimately leading to a successful vaginal delivery of my baby, Nathan. After delivery, Venessa stayed with me for many hours at the hospital until my husband returned with some supplies. In the days following my delivery, Venessa also took care of my newborn, Nathan, at home. I can't thank her enough. I highly recommend her doula services to anyone in need.
- Etsegenet Fisseha
Highly recommend Carolann! I was planning to hire her for my home birth and postpartum journey but things took a turn where I miscarried at 14 weeks, hemorrhaged and ended up in the ICU. I told her what happened and within an hour she was visiting me at the hospital. I am forever grateful for her support! She helped me out a few times postpartum. Mainly with meal prep and encouraging me to relax as I let my body heal. Carolann held my space while I dealt with my grief and trauma. She will make you feel heard, seen and held. I cannot thank her enough!
- Jennifer Casement
LOVED having Lily as my birth doula. She was such a calming presence, her words of encouragement really gave me the extra strength I needed to make it through a few intense hours!! She taught me so much, and she never tried to persuade me in anyway. I felt my decisions were always respected and her support was so valuable!
- Claire Smith
I've had 3 amazing experiences with Little Lilacs! Lindsay Laubacher helped guide and motivate me through the birth of my firstborn. Katie Woolums was such a knowledgeable resource and amazing help for the birth of my second. Lily Hill has been such a blessing to our family as our postpartum doula. These ladies have helped us during such a vulnerable time and I could not be more grateful.
- Jen Le
We had such an amazing experience with Vanessa during the three months we had her during our postpartum time. From the very first time we met her, I could feel the compassion and love she had for her career. Vanessa was a nothing short of a godsend that helped nurture and care for both me and my newborn. Her knowledge and wisdom were impeccable. We are ever so thankful for her and the love she provided for our family. I don’t know how we could’ve made it through the postpartum journey without her!!
- Kacey KF
Vanessa Delgado taught me everything I know about babies and kids with the arrival of my first born (she joined the party 2 months in when I realized it didn't all 'just come naturally'). She taught me everything I needed to know about everything baby, from development to sleep to feeding, and encouraged me to get support from specialists, including recommending great specialists where needed as well (lactation), all this while supporting my somewhat complicated postpartum recovery. Good thing, I was 'prepared' for when the twins came 2 years later and Vanessa was right back teaching me how to do it double. I consider her a friend for life, she continues to be a presence in my kids life despite half a country between us now, and I will forever be grateful for her guidance. 10/10 recommend!
- Anna
Great company! I worked with Vanessa. She was exactly what I needed. Used her for mostly overnights with my triplets. I was able to get some much needed rest plus some great support in general while navigating the new born life. Always on time and very focused.
- Kisha Hill
I had a great experience with Carolann. I am so glad that I chose her to help me through my first pregnancy journey. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable, and provided me with so much information and support. With her help I felt prepared for both birth and postpartum. Although my birth did not go as planned, she was there to provide answers, comfort and company every step of the way. She is super responsive to calls and texts and was a great resource before and after pregnancy. I would highly recommend her to anybody looking for a doula!
- Kasey Hunt
I recently engaged Little Lilacs birth services to support me and my husband after my son was born. Working with Allisa Berberich was an incredible experience and I highly recommend her services! Allisa developed a personalized postpartum plan for me and my husband. Being first time parents we had so many questions and Allisa was right by our side providing us with the knowledge we needed and alleviated all our concerns and fears. Her support enabled us to care for our son with confidence and feel the joy of connecting with our son. We really felt connected to Allisa as she prepared us for our journey as new parents!
- Sophia Nanis
When we started our search for a doula to join our birth team we had a recommendation from the birthing center to check with Little Lilacs. They have a pretty extensive selection of wonderful doulas, but quickly we connected with Vanessa Delgado. After a phone interview with her and a few other doulas from other agencies we knew Vanessa was the right fit for our family. She came to our home and we navigated through expectations and birth prep for our first born. She reassured me in all the choices I had already made, answered questions, and was able to fill in gaps for areas we hadn’t even thought about. She always made sure she was available to us and even had other doulas on call anytime she wouldn’t be available quickly. On our little guys birth-day things went much faster then anyone predicted for a first birth. Vanessa arrived quickly and jumped right into support mode and coaching us through this quick labor. I have zero regrets on my choice in doula and she provided all the support we needed to bring our baby boy into the world. I hope she can join us again someday.
- Shanae Snow
Mary was wonderful! With my 6th baby, it was such a blessing to be able to hold her more, have skin to skin time, and consistent full naps without having the house fall into disarray! She cleaned, cooked, did dishes, and laundry all so I can have more time with my precious baby. She was always cheerful and happy to be there and help us. She was a joy to have in our home.
- Marie-Claire Reer
Allisa was my Little Lilacs doula and I’ll be forever grateful and thankful to have worked with her during my first pregnancy. Without her support and resources, I highly doubt I would’ve had my positive birth experience. She offered support and encouragement when I needed it most (towards the end of my pregnancy I was having challenges with my provider’s care), and during labor she was a true godsend. She helped me advocate for myself and introduced me to a whole world of birth I knew very little about. She has the sweetest spirit and I’d highly recommend her to any momma!
- K M
I had Mary with me for 4 months postpartum with my first baby. She was calm, friendly, and a listening ear throughout my time with her. I am blessed we were connected—she always went above and beyond to take care of my son and I or help with chores around the house. If I had a question about anything, she was willing to do the research and send me links which seems like something small until you’re so overwhelmed when even Googling something and figuring out the “right” answer seems challenging. Knowing I could rest while she was here loving on my son while I recovered was the comfort I needed. She was easy to schedule with and flexible. I also found the Little Lilacs invoice system straightforward and the owner was very responsive when I first reached out.
- Brianna Pelter
Katie Woolums was my doula for my first pregnancy this year. I don’t know how I could have managed labor without her! I ended up having some complications and I was induced at the hospital. I had planned a birth at a birthing center, so it was a very stressful situation. Katie made sure to keep tabs on me until I was ready for her to come to the hospital. And, once she was there, she was a constant source of positive affirmation and a fount of resources to help me get through contractions. I seriously can’t imagine how I would have gotten through labor without her. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side!
- BonnieBee2358
I had a wonderful experience with Little Lilacs. It was so easy to get connected with doulas and meet with one that clicked with my husband and I. Carolann was our doula and we would highly recommend her. She was wonderfully supportive throughout my pregnancy and a great source of information when I had to make hard decisions. Having her at my birth was such an invaluable experience and I think her communication with me and the birth team helped me avoid a C-section when labor felt like too much.
- Holly Yanelli
I cannot recommend Katie Woolums with Little Lilacs Birth Services enough! I am a young mom and had my first baby this November. I had done a lot of research, but felt it would be helpful to have a doula and this was by far the best investment and decision that my husband and I made for our birth. Katie was such a calming presence. She came to our place twice prior to the birth to work on labor positioning and answer all of my questions. She provided several articles, links, videos, and her own perspective. She was responsive to all my texts before the birth and even after when I was struggling with breastfeeding. On the day of the birth, she was there with us for 15+ hours and helped us through so many unplanned events - i.e. an infection, shoulder dystocia, and our baby swallowing meconium and ending up in the NICU. She cried with me and supported me when I wasn’t able to have skin to skin with my baby girl and explained everything to me as things were happening. She reassured me and my husband the entire time, counted me through contractions, and was beyond incredible. She’s an amazing person inside and out - forever grateful that she was a part of our birth experience. If you’re thinking about hiring a doula - DO IT! And have Katie be there with you, you will never regret it! I could not say enough good things about her and the incredible experience she gave us.
- Mia Norton
I'm so glad I went with Little Lilacs and Lily Hill as my doula. As a first time mother at 35, medical information online and what you hear can make you worry. Lily was about to provide a ton of insight and information (along with my midwife) that eased me. She was absolutely essential to my birth of my baby girl and I wouldn't go back and change a thing!
- Destiny R.
Mary with Little Lilacs was amazing for my postpartum experience. I wish I would’ve found Mary my first go around. Mary was very responsive and organized. Having Mary around to help keep the house running after my daughter was born was the peace of mind I needed at a turbulent time with no sleep and chasing a toddler around. She would help with the laundry, dishes and even helped organize the kids’ clothes for me. She would help hold my daughter and be a listening ear when needed. She would frequently check and make sure what she was working on was what I wanted her to do. She utilized her web of resources and contacts for any postpartum questions she couldn’t answer. I highly recommend her as a postpartum doula and will absolutely be considering using her for additional time once my husband goes back to work. We love our Mary!!!
- Madison Talley
So beyond pleased with my experience with Little Lilacs. Vanessa was incredible; I wouldn’t have gotten through my whirlwind of a birth without her on my team. She’s knowledgeable, came prepared, and made me feel so supported. I felt bad calling her in labor in the wee hours of the morning, but she didn’t bat an eyelash at it. 120% recommend hiring her.
- Autumn McCraw
Katie Woolums was our doula for our second unmedicated hospital birth. She was fantastic! I didn't have as much time to research this time around as I had when I was pregnant with my first and she was a great resources for all the new questions I had. She was such a calming presence during our birth and super helpful with the comfort measures I needed. If your looking for a great doula, I highly recommend her!
- Rachel Macha
We absolutely love Nichole Phillips! She was our birth and postpartum doula. She's amazing to work with and is very knowledgeable about all the things relating to infants.
- Shelbie Fowler
I would unquestionably choose Lily repeatedly and wholeheartedly recommend her because of the exceptional mental and physical support she offered to me and my family during our natural pregnancy and childbirth experience 💓! My husband and I had this convo after we successfully had the honor to meet our first son. The convo went this way: husband: If you had to be with one and only one person while in labor (God forbid...🙏and kudos to COVID-19 mamas) between me and Lily (our forever beloved doula), who would you choose? me: With no hesitation Lily Hill. husband: Smart decision. I support you on that☺! Lily Hill did an amazing job helping us through our pregnancy and especially birth journey. (With the permission of God of course) Lily's incredible mental and physical support especially from the time my contractions started to when I naturally gave birth with no medication. Her kind words, her encouragement and cheering, and most importantly her expertise helped me coop with labor amazingly. Not mentioning my husband, who also felt so useful in those moments due to the guidance and training that Lily had provided us with a few weeks leading to the birth. Having a doula (Lily specifically) from Little Lilacs has been one of the best decisions we have ever made! I am a confident and grateful mom and I can confidently say that Lily has something to do with that. THANK YOU again Lily and Little Lilacs!
- Iradukunda Cynthia
I can’t say enough good things about Little Lilacs. I worked with Little Lilacs for both my pregnancies. For my first pregnancy I worked with Lindsay Laubacher. Not knowing what to expect, Lindsay was there to guide me every step of the way. Lindsey’s help went beyond the day of delivery. She was a listening ear for all the feelings and questions I had leading up to delivery and after. For my second pregnancy I worked with Lily Hill. Lily is extremely warm and kind but also very informative. With my second my birth didn’t go as planned. Lily presence truly saved the day. Both my births were a positive experience. I wouldn’t be able to say that without Little Lilacs.
- Cassie Spencer
I used Lilly Hill as my postpartum doula and it was the best decision I could have made! She was so attentive, thoughtful and sweet. I also used her to do my placenta encapsulation and she was really quick in getting them back to me. Would highly recommend!!
- Kelly Lantrip
Carolann Rosso was an amazing doula. I cannot recommend her enough. Opting for a doula for our first birthing experience was the right way to go. She provided us with so much information so we could make the right choices for ourselves. She advocated for us during labor and delivery and supported my husband and I both through the whole process. She was encouraging, reassuring, and calming. I wouldn’t have been able to do the unmedicated birth I wanted without her guidance! We will definitely use her again when we are pregnant with our next baby.
- Shachi Cabrera
Donna was a calming presence and vital source of encouragement and advice during the whole process. She made going all natural possible - we are so thankful for her
- Isabel Lee-Rosson
Lily Hill was a blessing and a god send of a doula, and friend, throughout the duration of my first pregnancy, leading up to the birth of my baby boy last month. I cannot recommend her services and expertise enough. She came to my aid in more ways than I can ever repay her for— there is no price to be put on the confidence her guidance instilled in me— and through her, I was able to have an amazing birth experience as a first time mom, which I will be able to cherish for the rest of my life. I would recommend her services to anyone looking, as she changed my whole mindset and really made my entire journey what it was— nothing short of remarkable. She also came to aid with placenta encapsulation, which was something I had been interested in from the beginning. Sitting down and learning more about the process from her made me ultimately decide that I definitely wanted to go ahead and take advantage of this service, and being one month postpartum, I am thankful that I did, as I love my capsules! I cannot thank Lily enough!!
- Courtney Wickline
I can not speak highly enough about Jessica at Little Lilacs. She was amazing from the start with her level of communication and walking myself and my husband through my pregnancy journey and what to expect (since I was a FTM). At our first meeting she was totally informative and remained in constant contact throughout my pregnancy and also help answer any questions I had via text or phone call (especially when I was laboring at home). Our first prenatal appointment I had a list of questions and she helped me alleviate any concerns I had as well as deliver my birthing plan at the hospital. When delivery time came she was there to help coach me through my delivery process (which was a breeze) thanks to our communication over my pregnancy and at our prenatal appointment. She also came to my house for my followup postpartum appointment to make sure I and baby were doing well and to help me with my belly binding. If you are on the fence about hiring a doula - (esp. Jessica) do it! As a first time mom having her was a boost of confidence I needed during my pregnancy, labor and postpartum journey.
- Jamie Field
I reached out to Lilacs after my mom had an accident and was unable to support me after the birth of my second baby. The experience was positively life changing and my only regret was not reaching out to them sooner. I worked with Carolann Rosso for day support and Lily Hill for night support. Lily saved my life after my baby had a terrible sleep regression and started waking every hour at two months old. It is hard to trust anyone with your little baby so soon, but Lily took the time to listen to my needs, answered all my questions, and helped me feel totally comfortable throughout the process. She would arrive at 10PM and literally handle everything until 6AM the following morning while I got much needed sweet sleep! I started to feel like a human being again thanks to Lily. Additionally, she had a magic touch with my baby and he started sleeping so much better after she started helping us. Carolann helped out with just about everything including baby care, meals, and laundry. Most importantly she took care of me and I was able to start feeling more like myself after the postpartum fog. I will be forever grateful for the help and company she provided during such a vulnerable period in my life.
- Jazmine Orazi
Great resources, I was a FTM to be and their services greatly helped my pregnancy journey. I think they did everything in their power to make the journey tailored to my needs. Would definitely go with them again!
- Sofia Gondal
As a first time mom, I can’t imagine going through pregnancy and birth without our doula, Carolann. She was great about helping me to define my birth preferences, as I didn’t even know where to start, and she was very committed to ensuring my birth was as close to what I wanted as possible. She was very responsive any time I had questions or concerns during pregnancy, and she was so valuable during my labor. My husband and I have talked so many times since I gave birth about how much more comfortable we felt with Carolann there with us. She was so involved, explained everything to us as we went, provided us with options and information, and assisted the nurses, which they seemed to really appreciate as well. As an extra bonus, I have two large dogs, and she was really great with them, which isn’t always easy for visitors in my house. I can’t recommend Carolann highly enough!
- Meghan MacKenzie
We so enjoyed having Carolann as my doula! She was super supportive throughout my pregnancy, always being available via text or call. On the day of my delivery she was also on standby and came as soon as I said “I am ready for you to be here”. I attribute my successful and fairly quick labor/pushing to her expertise with different positions. She helped me reposition every 30 minutes and when it was time to push, baby was here in no time! She ensured that my needs and wants were heard and honored. She is exactly what I was wanting in a doula and more. We can not thank her enough for her involvement and care throughout my pregnancy.
- Morgan Zigler
Carolann is absolutely amazing! She prepared me so thoroughly for the birth of my first child that I was able to birth her myself even before she and my midwife were able to get over to my house! In all seriousness, I cannot recommend Carolann enough. After the birth, she stayed for several hours and made sure I had everything I needed (including going out to purchase an electric breast pump). She also is readily available to answer any question I had. She's the best!
- Clarisse Rahbar
Carolann Rosso was the doula for the birth of our daughter and I can't say enough positive things! She was knowledgeable, helpful, calm, and encouraging throughout a very long labor and delivery that didn't go as we had hoped. Carolann was a steady presence and was very hands-on with pain management techniques that helped tremendously. We are so thankful for her support and can't recommend her enough!
- Ashley Nezhad
Mary was fantastic and so helpful with our postpartum care!
- David Sprick
Just another 5 star review for Katie Woolums!!! She is a rockstar. Katie was a late add to our birthing team due to some forecasted labor complications (group b strep protocols, suspected shoulder dystocia). From the minute we were connected with Katie, she was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and comforting. She provided me with resources and recommendations that I am positive changed the course of my induction experience. Katie is caring, friendly, and understanding while maintaining the utmost professionalism. The event that stood out to me the most in my interactions with Katie was when she stayed by my side immediately after delivery and explained everything that the doctor, nurses, and NICU providers were doing for my son after his shoulders were stuck and his cord was wrapped. This would have otherwise been an extremely stressful and traumatic event, but Katie gently explained everything until we heard his first cries. Overall, Katie is an all-around lovely person and my only regret is that we didn’t reach out and get connected with her earlier in my pregnancy!!!!
- Becky Sprick
Vanessa was my post partum doula. We absolutely loved her! She is a real angel on earth. Always positive and compassionate and ready to jump in. I was post partum with a 2 month old and trying to find genuine connection time for my 22 month old toddler during her winter break from daycare. Vanessa easily took over with the baby, let me relax, and would seamlessly transition to give my toddler comfort and attention. She really saved our family’s lives. We cannot recommend her enough!
- Cristina Pilcher
Demi started as a stranger and ended up as family. We hired her as our doula and immediately hit it off. I would describe her as my pregnancy/delivery/post-partum tour guide. She was personable, funny, down to earth and knowledgeable. Demi knew the right questions to ask a first-time, clueless mom. She met with us beforehand and helped us prepare for delivery. At the hospital she was an amazing resource and my most important ally in my most vulnerable time. She knew when and how to be present— an encouraging word, a gentle hand on my body during a difficult contraction, a shoulder to cry on. She knew when to fade to the background of the room and would show up right when needed without me having to say a word. I’m not sure I could have reached my delivery goals without her. Hands down the best money we spent on my pregnancy. Words can’t express my gratitude to her role in the arrival of our little girl.

Mary was my postpartum doula for 2 months. This is my second baby so I had different requirements and needs but she managed to meet them all. Mary is a caring and loving person and I feel comfortable leaving my baby with her during these hours. Like other person said, she is very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I highly recommend Mary if you want to hire a postpartum doula.

I was in search of a postpartum doula and found Little Lilacs. Lindsay was so helpful during the first few weeks after we brought my baby home! In fact, we worked with several of the doulas from the group, and all of them were amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for postpartum support.

Carolann Rosso was our doula and she was incredible! She helped me labor at the hospital and was very steadfast and reassuring throughout the entire process. She is very down to earth and advocates for what you want. This was the first time I had a doula and it made a huge difference in my birthing experience.
