Meet Your Doula
Lily Winowiski, Owner
Lily is a DONA-trained birth doula. She is a mom of two girls who became passionate about all things pregnancy and birth after her traumatic pregnancy and labor with her first daughter.
Lily holds DONA certificates in birth doula training and childbirth education. She has a bachelor’s degree in public health from Carroll University, where her capstone focused on the prevention of postpartum depression and the improvement of fetal and maternal health outcomes in Native American populations.
Before becoming a doula, Lily worked in domestic violence and community resource shelters, as well as the foster care and adoption space. After having her own children, she decided to become a stay at home mom before ultimately becoming a doula after having a doula for her second pregnancy revolutionized and redeemed her childbearing experience.
Lily is passionate about supporting women and their families as they welcome new humans into the world. She believes every pregnant woman deserves personalized, dedicated, and trained support.

Your Questions, Answered.
How soon should I book doula services?
Reserving support as soon as possible ensures our availability for your due date, but we welcome and work with last-minute inquiries for support whenever possible. Generally, the sooner you book us, the better we can get to know you and support you. Schedule your FREE inquiry meeting today to learn more!
Is a doula meant to replace my husband or other support people?
No. Doulas serve different roles than your husband or other birth partners. Doulas provide physical, emotional, and informational support based on our professional training and education on pregnancy and labor. Your partner provides unique support we cannot due to the existing depth and intimacy of your relationship!
Often yes! Upon request, we are able to issue special, detailed invoices that you can submit to your employer, FSA, or HSA administrator for potential reimbursement. However, we cannot guarantee our services will be reimbursed by your employer. We bill via PayPal Business which accepts FSA/HSA cards.
Can services be paid for by employer reimbursement or flexible spending accounts?
Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely. Advocate Doula Services bills through PayPal Business, which allows our customers to make installment payments in amounts of their choosing on their own schedule. The minimum payment due within 48 hours of contracting Advocate Doula Services as your doula is 10% of your package price (usually, $95.00).
