I’m Lily, your local doula and birth photographer. I’m based in Hamilton but regularly travel for births to regions like Auckland and Tauranga. I am a mother of two, and have a wonderful husband who wholeheartedly supports my endeavours of a life of being on call.
I love people, and I am passionate about communication and individualised experiences. I care for families of all shapes and sizes, offering inclusive care for LGBTQIA+ folks and neurodiverse people.
There is no one ‘correct’ way to give birth, but my goal is for you to emerge from your journey emotionally held and satisfied with your decisions.
I work exceedingly hard for the families in my care, and as such it is important to me that my caseload is small so that we can get to know each other well.
Photographing birth is forever part of my offering to you, and an extension of my way to serve you during labour at no additional cost.
If you are considering doula support for your upcoming birth, or birth and postpartum period, please get in touch. I offer a no obligation meet and greet to discuss your aspirations and needs.

I can’t wait to hear from you!
