Hi! I'm Nayo a certified birth and postpartum doula. My approach to doula-ing is one that is very family centered. I love for my families to have all of the facts and then they make the best decision for them. I enjoy journeying with families through birth and postpartum. I'm a proud mama of two smart, rambunctious boys. I love to cook for and spend quality time with my family and friends. When birthing schedule allows, I also love travelling. I found my way to being a doula after the birth of my second baby. Though my pregnancy and birth were perfectly planned and perfectly played out, I had nothing setup and prepared for postpartum. Two days after I gave birth I was up making myself breakfast, getting my oldest off to school, and driving myself and new baby to his first pediatric appointment. I felt alone and isolated. Many days I would just cry from being overwhelmed. I told my doula and lactation consultant that as soon as I was healed I would train to be a postpartum doula so that no other families nor mom would have to suffer in silence. Now, as a birth and postpartum doula, I get to make sure that moms can have the birth they want, and a peaceful, sustainable life after their sweet baby has arrived. It's truly my passion to ensure families thrive through this wild time in their lives.

I am excited to express my interest in the Night Doula/Night Nanny position. With four years of hands-on childcare experience—including dedicated night nanny work—I’ve supported families with newborns, infants, and children up to 5 years old, including twins. Caring for little ones during those tender nighttime hours has become something I truly love and take pride in. I have a strong background in establishing healthy sleep routines, soothing newborns, supporting feeding schedules (breast- and bottle-fed), and helping parents feel confident and rested. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, gentleness, and intuition—especially at night when babies need calm, consistent care. I also bring a reliable, nurturing presence that helps families feel secure and supported while they recharge. I would be honored to support your family and bring my professionalism, warmth, and dedication to your home. Thank you so much for considering me. I would love the opportunity to discuss how I can help your household thrive.

I’m Riley, the doula behind Root and Vine. This work is my calling — rooted in a deep respect for the strength and sacrifice of women, the transformation of birth, and the sacredness of new life. I’m a birth and postpartum doula, trained through DONA, and support families across the DFW metroplex with compassion, evidence-based knowledge, calm presence, and a deep trust in the process of labor. I am an English teacher of seven years and my husband and I have one son. My path to birth doula work began with my own birth experience; having a doula during my pregnancy was so helpful to me and made me feel much more knowledgeable and in control of my birth. Unfortunately, the birth of my son did not go as planned for many reasons: my doula could not attend my birth, I preeclampsia complications, and my son was in a breech position. Birth is a transformation, but it can also come with trauma. My experience compelled me to become a doula to hopefully help other women have better birth experiences than I did. I’m also passionate about postpartum care; in the time after giving birth, I felt vulnerable and, although I had endured a major physical and emotional event, I was not often the focus or concern. Even amidst so much joy and love for my son, people quickly begin asking about the baby and forget to ask about the new parent. I want to be the doula that I wish I could have had! The role of postpartum doula is to mother the mother, to educate and encourage new parents, and ensure the new family is thriving together. My love of caregiving and my passion of supporting other mothers is combined in the role of postpartum doula.

Hey mommas! A little about me: I absolutely love babies, mamas, and everything postpartum. I'm a recent graduate from TCU with a Bachelor's degree in Social Work, and I'm gearing up to pursue a Master's degree this fall. With a passion for caregiving, I've been involved in childcare since the age of 13, transitioning from babysitting to nannying for large families, where I not only provided supervision but also assisted with household chores. My commitment to supporting families extends beyond childcare, as I am certified in lactation support, postpartum doula care, and trauma-informed care, ensuring holistic support for individuals and families in various stages of life.
