Lacie Faber - Birth Doula - West Springfield, VA

About Lacie

Lacie believes every mother deserves an experience—both in birth and postpartum—where she feels respected, supported, and confident in what’s happening around her. As a certified birth and postpartum doula and co-founder of FaberFam LLC, Lacie provides steady, evidence-based support so families can approach both birth and early parenthood with clarity instead of fear. She is known for helping clients understand what’s normal, make informed decisions in the moment, and stay grounded—even when things feel intense, uncertain, or overwhelming. Lacie combines hands-on skill with a calm, attentive presence. During labor, she is continuously assessing progress, using positioning and comfort techniques to support the body’s natural process, while helping partners stay involved, confident, and connected. In the postpartum period, her focus shifts to helping families find their rhythm—supporting feeding, sleep, and daily flow so life with a newborn begins to feel more steady and manageable. Families who work with Lacie often say they felt “anchored,” “prepared,” and “never alone.” Whether navigating the intensity of labor or the transition into early parenthood, her focus remains the same: helping you feel supported, informed, and at peace with your experience. As your doula, Lacie provides: • Continuous, in-person labor support so you’re never navigating alone • Skilled positioning and comfort techniques to support progress and coping • Clear, real-time guidance so you understand what’s happening and what your options are • Partner coaching so your support person feels confident and helpful • Calm, steady presence—especially during the most intense moments • Daytime postpartum support focused on recovery, confidence, and adjustment • Guidance on feeding, newborn behavior, and what’s developmentally normal • Hands-on support with baby care and light household reset • Gentle rhythm-building to create more predictable, manageable days • Support preparing for transitions, including returning to work If you’re looking for support that is both compassionate and highly skilled, Lacie’s approach is designed to help you feel prepared, supported, and confident—from birth through the early weeks of life with your baby.

Lacie was a great help during my first couple months postpartum. She has a calming and nurturing presence. She gave great tips for sleep and soothing techniques. Our daughter has reflux, and Lacie was always attentive to her needs, keeping her upright after feedings and contact napping with her when needed to help ease her symptoms. She took wonderful care of our daughter and made sure my husband and I were able to get the rest and support we needed. Thank you Lacie!

FaberFam is an incredible support system from start to finish, and I cannot recommend Lacie and Caleb enough. I originally used their services for Lacie’s expertise as a doula for the birth of my first child at home (+ prenatal and postpartum support). Lacie guided me on envisioning my ideal birth experience and helped me prepare to achieve it. Leading up to labor, she was readily available for advice whenever I had concerns or questions. When I went into labor, Lacie was right there by my side the entire time - recommending positions, giving hands on assistance, involving my husband, and encouraging me. I had the most amazing birth experience, and it would have not been the same without Lacie. She is a calm, steady, and soothing presence, and I will always be grateful for her in my life. My husband and I also had the pleasure of working with Caleb through the Bringing Home Baby course he facilitates. Caleb is an amazing facilitator, and my husband and I always looked forward to our weekly course with him. His ability to allow space for introspection and honest communication brought my husband and me closer together as a couple. The education Caleb taught and exercises he led us through helped tremendously prenatally and continue to be a valuable resource postpartum. He brings humor into the course and is all around a great, down to earth guy. An amazing team, 10/10!

Lacie was an amazing Doula! She was on call and available to offer assistance whenever any issues occurred during my pregnancy. From getting baby to flip from breach to the delivery room, Lacie was there to offer advice and support.
