Parenthood is a wild ride. Why not give yourself the best start possible?

No matter how you birth, education and support can lead to a better beginning.

Whether you hope for an unmedicated labor or are planning on an epidural as fast as you can; whether dreaming of VBAC or feel a peace about the scheduled C-section, I want you to love your birth. The moment a baby is born, a family is changed, and I believe that a supported and educated birthing experience can lead to a better beginning for your whole family — mother, father, and baby.

Hi, I’m Cassie Dilly!

I’m a Christian, wife, momma of two, big sister, and a DONA-trained Birth Doula serving expectant parents in Lexington, KY.

I’m a life-long nurturer and have loved all things pregnancy, birth, and parenthood for as long as I can remember. After the doula-supported birth of my first baby, where a traumatic start, incredibly long labor, and an unexpected ending were still seen as one of the most incredible day(s) of my life, I was convinced even more that all birthing families can benefit from more support.

I’ve experienced in my own community that unless you are hoping for an unmedicated labor and birth, often expecting parents forgo pursuing in-depth childbirth education or seeking additional support for their prenatal and birth experience. Not out of negligence or lack of interest, but rather because there is a narrative that the support of a doula is not for them. Having both an intervention-heavy and an unmedicated birth myself — both attended by doulas — my hope is to encourage, champion, and support birthing families towards a better beginning for their new family, regardless of how they plan to birth.

So what does a doula actually do, anyways?
