About Lana

With over a decade of experience serving families nationally and internationally, I bring a thoughtful, cross-cultural perspective to my birth work. I am a certified birth doula (DONA International), certified childbirth educator (Lamaze International), Certified VBAC Specialist through The VBAC Link, and professional birth photographer. I am also trained in Spinning Babies and certified as a Body Ready Method Professional I completed a year-long postpartum training through Innate Traditions, allowing me to offer informed guidance on postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, and the physical and emotional transitions after birth. As a mother of three, I enter every birth space with compassion, steadiness, and confidence. My approach blends evidence-based support with meaningful spiritual care, and I am honored to serve families of all faiths and backgrounds. Investment begins at $2,000. If you are working within a different budget, I welcome you to reach out to explore options. Learn more at: www.salambirthservices.com

Birth & Postpartum Doula services

Private insurance: I am currently listed in the Carrot directory and pre-approved through them. Check with your employer if this benefit is offered to you as part of your contract. If pricing is an issue, please do still reach out. I offer discounts and payment plans for families of various backgrounds. Every birth doula packages come inclusive of 10 professionally captured and edited photos. I take and edit the photos myself. As a birth photographer, it brings me so much joy to photograph birth, and I feel this is a natural extension of my services.
