Meet Lacy Anderson- Owner of UP Family Doula
MEET THE HEART & SOUL BEHIND UP FAMILY DOULA CARE
Hey there, I'm Lacy Anderson!
Adding a new baby to the family is life-changing — full of excitement, surprises, and a little chaos. I love helping parents navigate it all with confidence, support, and a little bit of humor.
I didn’t know I wanted to be a Doula until I was pregnant with my second child. When I learned what Doulas are, I turned to my husband and said, “This is exactly what I want to do with my life!” Looking back, supporting families during pregnancy, being there for labor, and helping others has always been a part of who I am. Becoming a Doula felt like a natural expression of who I am — supporting families with love, presence, and encouragement.
One of my core values is simply being there for others. Many people say my strongest trait is that I “always show up with dedication and love.” That dedication shows in all I do, and you’ll often hear me asking, “How can I best support you and your family?” or “How can I help?”
I am proud to be a M.W.D.
"Mom, Wife, Doula!"
I’ve lived in Marquette County for most of my life, and the Upper Peninsula has always felt like home. After a brief time in a “flat state,” I realized there’s nowhere I’d rather be — the lakes, forests, and natural beauty captured my heart, and I knew this is where I wanted to put down roots.
My husband and I have three energetic and wonderful kids: Caleb, Ariella, and Winslow. In the warmer months, you’ll usually find us camping, fishing (my husband and I get a little competitive over who catches the most fish!), or exploring the outdoors. Inside, I love a good audiobook or hosting friends and family for a meal and game night.
We spend a lot of time learning and growing together, especially as we homeschool our children. Quality family time is incredibly important to me — whether it’s with my own family or helping other families create that same time and connection. Being a Doula allows me to support families in a way that honors those moments, helping them feel confident, seen, and supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.
Fun Fact: I do NOT like chocolate or coffee!
Every heartbeat, every tiny movement, every new life—each is a reminder of how fearfully and wonderfully we are created. It’s a joy to celebrate this miracle with the families I serve.
