Desiree was with me through my entire pregnancy! She helped to advocate for me, helped me make educated and informed decisions when it came to my pregnancy, and was wonderful when it came time for me to have my son. She helped to keep me calm, communicate my needs to the nurses and make sure everyone was on the same page so that I could be focus on my birth. I absolutely recommend Desiree! She is caring, supportive, and has a fiery passion for your birthing needs!

I'm a pro-life, pro-woman, Christian doula, birth keeper and birth photographer. You'll see on my profile that I don't have any "credentials" because I don't believe in needing permission to sit with women and support them. I take guidance from trusted mentors and seek education from reliable sources but I'm not bound by any particular organization or association. My only loyalties are to God and the women I serve. Aside from talking about and attending birth, I love reading, writing, sewing, swimming, baking, and spending time outside with my family.

Hi I’m Q! I chose to become a doula because I believe every family deserves compassionate care, informed choices, and unwavering support throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My goal is to create a calm, reassuring presence while helping families feel confident, respected, and empowered in their unique birth journey. This work is deeply meaningful to me, and I am honored to walk alongside families during such a transformative and sacred time in their lives.

Hi there! I’m Amanda, the body & soul behind Solstice Birthwork. I became a certified full-spectrum doula through the TrustHer initiative to improve maternal health in Tarrant County.

I have a passion for advocacy & informed consent, I recognize the need for modern medicine but love a good holistic option first, and probably know every word to TSwift’s discography.

My goal is to always treat my clients with the upmost respect , dignity , empathy and honor as we journey through their pregnancy and postpartum period together .

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Valerie throughout my pregnancy, and I cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she was attentive, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and provide both emotional and physical support every step of the way. Her calm presence and reassuring guidance helped me feel confident and prepared, even during the most overwhelming moments. What stood out the most was her ability to anticipate my needs before I even voiced them—whether it was offering comfort techniques, providing resources, or simply being a steady, encouraging presence. She made me feel truly supported, respected, and cared for during one of the most important times in my life. Thanks to Valerie, my pregnancy and birth experience were so much more positive and empowering. I’m deeply grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her services to any expectant parent looking for compassionate, reliable, and skilled support.

I’m Em - mama of many, wife to my best friend and new homestead-er. I created my photography business in 2018 not knowing exactly what I wanted to capture, I just knew I wanted to help those in my community save their memories for a lifetime. Fast forward to 2021, I attended my first birth, a sweet home birth. After that I know that birth work was exactly what I was looking for - it has become my passion. In winter of 2022 I got my doula certification to serve local mamas during their pregnancy, labor and postpartum. Now, today in 2024 I have served over 19 mamas and counting and have been published for my birth photography workin a magazine and I have won awards on my work. I enrolled at MCU as a student midwife in 2023 with the intentions to graduate with a bachelors of science in midwifery in 2027. I am currently serving those in the Johnstown, OH + surrounding area.

Hello! I'm Melinda, wife to Seth, and mother to Abigail, Luke, Keturah, Naomi, Isaac, Elijah, and Mattias. While my family lived in South Africa(2018-2019), I was blessed to become a certified doula through their WOMBS (women offering mothers birth support) program. Along with in-person classes, I experienced hands-on doula opportunities with laboring women in 2 different hospital locations in Johannesburg. I believe this experience opened my heart to truly seeing the importance of having a strong support system during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum. Children are a blessing from the Lord and every mother deserves the best through her pregnancy/delivery. I personally have experienced 3 hospital births, 2 birth center deliveries, and 2 home births. I am here to support you and help you make the most memorable and peaceful birth possible. If you are pregnant and would like the support of a doula, please reach out to me. I would love to meet you and see if I am the right doula for you.

Melinda was God sent. We I don’t know what we would have done without her assistance during our labor. She was truly amazing. So supportive through every stage of the process and so knowledgeable. She helped us have a piece of mind and confidence throughout the whole delivery.
