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!

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!!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!!
