About Lyleanne

Hi, I’m Lyleanne — a DONA birth doula, certified bereavement doula, and birth photographer with a passion for holding space through every kind of birth story. I believe birth is powerful, sacred, and unique to every family. Whether your journey leads to a joyful, planned hospital birth, Home birth or birth center birth. Weather you’re navigating grief or uncertainty, I walk beside you with heart, evidence-based knowledge, and steady support. As your doula, I blend hands-on comfort techniques, evidence based information, emotional grounding, and partner guidance — helping you feel safe, seen, educated and truly supported. As a bereavement-trained professional, I also bring deep compassion and care for families facing loss, honoring those moments with dignity, presence, and memory-making when it matters most. And as a birth photographer, I capture the raw, real beauty of your sacred story — without ever taking away from the moment. This is your birth. I’m here to help you feel empowered in it. Let’s make sure you feel informed, respected, and not alone — every step of the way
