Birth Doula Support

Personal support through pregnancy, labour and birth — shaped around you and the people you choose to have beside you.

Birth rarely follows a script. You can prepare carefully and still find yourself facing something you didn't expect.

My approach has been shaped by two worlds: an evidence-based understanding of birth, my scientific background and experience of the Danish maternity system, together with the Mexican traditions of caring for women that I grew up with and continue to learn from. I don't see these as opposing approaches — I bring them together according to who you are and what your birth needs.

By the time I join you in labour, I already know you. We have prepared together, talked about what matters to you and learned how we work together.

I am not there to create my version of a good birth. I am there to help you navigate yours.

What we can do together

Understand what is happening

Birth can bring physiology, hospital routines and new decisions all at once. I help you make sense of the information, understand your options and find the questions you want to ask — without oversimplifying what is happening.

Find what works for you

We prepare with many possibilities: movement, positions, pressure, breathing, TENS, rebozo, warmth, rest and more. During labour, we try and adapt. What works for one contraction may not work for the next. Contraction by contraction, you decide what feels right for you.

Bring different ways of caring together

Evidence-based knowledge and traditional care don't have to compete. I bring together birth physiology and experience of the Danish maternity system with hands-on support and Mexican traditions such as rebozo. I adapt how I communicate and support you according to how you process information, your family structure, culture, previous birth experiences, anxiety and what you need from me. We use what makes sense for you and your birth.

Work as a team

I don't replace the people you choose to support you. When you have a partner or another birth companion, I help you prepare together and, during birth, I can guide, add another pair of hands, give them a break or step aside when you've found your rhythm. And when there is nothing else for me to do, I take photos.

Adapt when things change

Preparation should still be useful when birth doesn't follow the original plan. Whether you are preparing for your first birth, a VBAC after a previous C-section, or a birth that takes an unexpected direction, we work with the birth that is actually happening. If new options or interventions become relevant, I help you understand the situation, connect it with what you already know and adapt our support around what matters to you now.

What our work together looks like

Before birth

For me, the work we do before birth is one of the most important parts of having me as your doula. We have time to really get to know each other, understand what you and your partner need, prepare and practise together, and build the trust that we will bring into the birth room.

As your due date gets closer, we have an additional session with rebozo massage and a Mother Blessing, where your partner and family/friends are welcome. This is different from our birth preparation: there is nothing more you need to learn or practise. It is a moment to slow down, care for you, acknowledge the transition you are about to make and arrive at the final weeks feeling ready for what comes next. And then, we wait together.

During birth

When labour begins, we stay in contact and I join you when you need me. By then, we already know each other and how we work together.

From there, we follow the birth that is actually happening. We try what feels useful, change what doesn't, make sense of new information and adapt when the story changes. I support you and your partner as a team, sometimes actively with my hands and tools, sometimes by helping you understand what is happening — and sometimes simply by knowing when to step aside.

After birth

I stay with you through those first moments after birth, while you meet your baby and begin to settle into this new reality.

Later, you invite me home for one follow-up visit. It is a chance for me to properly meet your baby, for us to talk through the birth we experienced together, answer the questions that may have appeared afterwards, and bring our time as your birth doula to a close.

If you would like our work together to continue, Birth Doula Support can be combined with my Postpartum Doula Care — a separate 40-day support rooted in Mexican postpartum traditions and adapted to your recovery and new life with your baby.

Good to know before booking:

When I am on call

From one week before until one week after your due date, you are my priority. I arrange my calendar around your birth, keep our communication close and make sure I am ready to join you when you need me. This is my official on-call period, but it is not a limit on my support. Babies don't follow calendars — if your baby comes earlier or later, we adapt and I will do everything possible to be there for your birth.

During the birth

We stay in close contact from the beginning of labour, and I join you when you need me. From there, I support you and the people you have beside you throughout the birth, adapting my presence and support to what is happening and what you need.

Backup support

A backup doula is available in case something unexpected prevents me from attending your birth. We will talk about how backup works beforehand, so you know what to expect.

Good to know

I don't offer a reduced birth doula package without our prenatal work together. Getting to know each other and preparing together is part of the doula service itself, because it is what allows us to arrive at your birth already knowing how to work together.

Let's meet first!

Choosing your doula is personal. I offer a free exploratory meeting where we can talk about your pregnancy, what you are looking for and how I work. There is no commitment — it is simply a chance to meet each other, ask questions and see if we feel like the right fit.

Having Lili as my doula was the best decision I could have made for my second pregnancy and birth. She made me feel empowered, safe, and in control throughout the whole process, while also supporting both me and my husband in the most caring way. With her guidance, I was able to have the VBAC I truly wished for, even after a previous C-section. Lili always came with the best recommendations – from calming teas to practical advice – and her calm presence made all the difference. Thanks to her, my husband could focus fully on me, knowing we were both in the best hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Lili to any expecting parents who want a doula that brings confidence, safety, and strength to the journey of birth.
