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.

Lacie believes every family deserves a birth experience rooted in dignity and a profound sense of peace.

Before becoming a birth doula, Lacie spent 15 years traveling the world working in the international security and relations space, alongside communities striving for stability, dignity, and hope. Through those experiences, one truth became clear: the greatest need for peace often begins much closer to home—within the household itself.

After witnessing friend after friend feel disappointed or disempowered by their birth experiences, Lacie began sharing the resources and support she had learned from her own birth team. Over time, she realized a calling to more formally support growing families in a space often distorted by overwhelming information and conflicting opinions. This vision ultimately led her and her husband of six years, Caleb, to found FaberFam LLC.

Lacie views birth as one of the most sacred transitions a family will experience, shaping not only the arrival of a child but the foundation of the family itself. Through birth work and family life education, her goal is to provide steady coaching, thoughtful education, and grounded support so every mother can experience a dignified, peaceful birth and every family feels strengthened—rather than overwhelmed—by the journey. Working with local doula mentors and nearing DONA birth doula certification, Lacie draws on evidence-based resources while always advocating for what will best support peace and confidence for each family.

As a birth doula, Lacie offers:
• Calm, grounded guidance throughout each stage of labor
• Hands-on comfort measures and positioning support
• Partner coaching that empowers fathers to feel steady, capable, and connected
• A quiet, reassuring presence during moments of intensity
• Postpartum planning rooted in rest, nourishment, and sustainable rhythms

With experience supporting both home birth, birth center & hospital births, families often describe Lacie’s presence as “anchored,” “safe,” and “never alone.” Her support helps both parents remain emotionally connected and focused on welcoming their baby with confidence.

Outside of doula work, Lacie serves as Communications Manager for her local church, enjoys life with her husband and their two young children, experiments in the kitchen, and unwinds with a good meal and a glass of wine.
