About me

Hi, I’m Iliana, founder of Woven Roots Birth, and I’m honored to be part of your journey. As a Los Angeles-based doula, I focus on creating a calm and grounded environment where you feel empowered, informed, and supported. At Woven Roots Birth, I believe in weaving together the roots of tradition, intuition, and evidence-based care to help you navigate one of life’s most profound experiences: birth.

My background in cinematography and storytelling shaped my passion for amplifying voices and honoring unique journeys. These values are the foundation of my work as a doula. I approach every client with a deep respect for their individual needs and preferences, helping you craft a birth plan that feels authentic to you and your family. Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, or anything in between, my goal is to ensure that you feel seen, heard, and supported throughout the process.

I offer a blend of hands-on comfort techniques, practical tools, and emotional support. From guiding you through evidence-based practices to holding space for you during pivotal moments, I’m here to support your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. I also integrate traditional methods, like the use of a rebozo, to provide relaxation and positioning techniques that promote optimal comfort and help guide your baby into the best position for birth.

Birth is a sacred, transformative experience, and my mission is to help you approach it with confidence and calm. At Woven Roots Birth, you’ll find a partner dedicated to supporting your journey, honoring your choices, and celebrating the incredible strength within you. Together, we’ll create a birth experience that reflects your unique story and lays a foundation for the next chapter of your life.
