About Us

Caleb believes every family has the capacity to thrive when equipped with the right tools, encouragement, and perspective. Together with his wife of six years, Lacie, he set out to build a preventive family support system—one focused on strengthening marriages, preparing parents, and stabilizing family life before challenges become overwhelming.

As a husband, father, oldest of four siblings, and uncle to four, Caleb understands both the beauty and complexity of family life, including marriage, parenting, loss, disability, and generational transitions. His work is grounded in the conviction that families flourish when education and support are offered proactively, not only in moments of crisis.

Caleb holds a Master of Arts in Family Science from Concordia University–St. Paul and is a Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) through the National Council on Family Relations. 

He is also a Bringing Baby Home Educator through the Gottman Institute, a Marital First Responder, and a Financial Peace University facilitator, equipping couples with practical tools to strengthen their relationship, navigate postpartum stress, communicate effectively, and steward their finances with shared values. He has a particular passion for supporting fathers as they step into confident, engaged leadership during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting, recognizing the profound impact of paternal presence on family resilience and maternal wellbeing.

In addition, Caleb is a certified instructor in CPR, Babysitting, and Basic Life Support (BLS). These skills are deeply personal. In college, he survived a near-drowning incident in which his sister’s quick action saved his life, but left him with a traumatic brain injury that still affects his vision and dexterity today. This experience shaped his lifelong commitment to family preparedness, grounded in the belief that life is a miracle—and that we are called to faithfully use the tools God has given us to protect and fortify our families.

Beyond FaberFam LLC, Caleb volunteers with the Fairfax County Parent Education and Father Engagement Programs and serves as Church School Director at his local church in Virginia. Above all, his work—shaped alongside his wife—is guided by a simple conviction: families flourish when they are supported early, equipped intentionally, and empowered to grow together with peace, purpose, and unity.

As a DONA International Certified Birth Doula serving Northern Virginia, I provide steady, evidence-based support through pregnancy, labor, and early postpartum.

I trained under renowned DONA trainer Robin Elise Weiss, former president of DONA International and Lamaze International, who has attended over 1,500 births and trained more than 10,000 doulas. My training includes birth doula care, childbirth education, and lactation basics, providing a strong clinical and practical foundation.

I am also a Certified VBAC Doula (CVD, The VBAC Link), with focused training in supporting mothers planning vaginal birth after cesarean. I have additional training in bereavement support, allowing me to care for families across a wide range of birth outcomes with composure and sensitivity.

My work centers on helping families stay grounded, informed, and confident during labor. I provide hands-on support, assess labor progress in real time, and use positioning, movement, and environment to support physiologic birth while navigating hospital dynamics effectively.

I have experience in local hospitals, birth centers, and home birth settings, with experience in complex situations such as emergency transfers and shoulder dystocia while still ensuring positive outcomes for the clients. When birth shifts unexpectedly, I help families stay calm, understand their options, and move forward with clarity.

In the postpartum period, I provide structured support focused on recovery, infant feeding, and establishing sustainable routines. I help families reduce overwhelm, prioritize rest, and create realistic daily rhythms so the transition into parenthood feels manageable and stable.

I have also completed Full Focus training, which I use to help families clarify priorities, set realistic expectations, and build routines that align with their capacity during the newborn phase.

As your doula, I provide:
• Continuous labor support
• Evidence-based comfort techniques and positioning
• Real-time guidance through each stage of labor
• Partner coaching for confident involvement
• Support navigating medical decisions and hospital environments
• Practical postpartum support focused on recovery and routine

If you’re looking for a Northern Virginia doula who brings clinical awareness, calm presence, and skilled, hands-on support to your birth team, I would be honored to work with your family.
