Caitlyn Schollmeier is a Certified Nurse Midwife, Registered Nurse, and U.S. Air Force veteran who has spent her career caring for mothers and families through every stage of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Her journey into maternal health began during her military service, where she supported service members and their families as they navigated pregnancy and childbirth. After leaving the military, Caitlyn continued her path in Labor and Delivery, working as both a nurse and a birth doula. Those years at the bedside gave her a unique perspective on what labor and birth truly look like, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
It was during this time that she began to recognize how much a person’s mental and emotional space can impact their experience of birth. She saw firsthand how the small details, comfort, dignity, confidence, could completely transform a laboring person’s mindset. Out of that realization, she sketched her first Lila Birth Gown, designed to help women feel beautiful, capable, and seen during one of the most powerful moments of their lives.
Enhancing the experience of parenthood became Caitlyn’s mission, not just through better products, but through a deep dedication to caring for women in a way that honors both their strength and their vulnerability.
