Hello, I’m Shelby. I’m a certified Postpartum Doula and newborn nanny located in Austin, Texas. I have been working with children for over 10 years and have been exclusively supporting families through postpartum for 4 years.

I believe in the significance of providing personalized, compassionate care that honors each family's unique needs and preferences. My approach is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported during this transformative time. I strive to create a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where parents can feel confident, informed, and secure in their choices. With a deep commitment to advocacy, education, and emotional guidance, I am dedicated to helping parents navigate the challenges and joys of childbirth and early parenthood with strength, confidence, and positivity.

"A family-driven venture born from the profound experience of our own home birth, we empower and support birthing individuals by offering education, care, and unwavering guidance for your unique childbirth journey." — Chey & Cree Kitoko

I am a queer parent to two kiddos, certified full spectrum doula, and student midwife through the National College of Midwifery. I’m an Austin native and my family and I live in South Austin with our small zoo of pets. My call to birth work was awakened through my own birthing experience which broke me open and sparked transformation in me. My passion and connection to this work deepened through the process of navigating fertility treatments, conception with donor sperm, logistical challenges of second parent adoption, and the unique emotions of being a non-gestational parent to our daughter and sitting in the role of partner to the pregnant/birthing parent. I’m passionate about supporting all of the unique flavors people and families come in, especially LGBTQIA+ families like my own.

​​​​As a Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Parenting Educator, I believe my calling is to help families find their own unique path to parenthood. A mother and stepmom myself, I offer an open heart and a listening ear – along with my extensive training – to provide nurturing, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and inclusive care and education for all kinds of families. Based upon your family’s personal needs and values, I will help you create your perfect birth team, tap into your own strength and voice, and feel empowered to make the best choices for yourself and your growing family. I believe the childbearing year – before, during, and after the birth event – is an awesome opportunity to bring joy and light into the world and into your life. My mission and my passion is delivering that experience for you and your family through custom, private childbirth classes, parenting education, birth doula and postpartum doula support.

Hi, I’m Kimberly, a Texas native and certified postpartum doula who’s passionate about helping families find peace, confidence, and rest during those tender first weeks at home. Caring for babies has been a part of my life since I was 16, and over the years it’s become more than something I love, it’s truly my calling. For the past two years, I’ve supported parents through the ups and downs of the fourth trimester, offering gentle guidance, emotional support, and hands-on newborn care. Whether I’m helping a baby settle to sleep, giving parents time to rest, or simply listening when the day feels overwhelming, my goal is always the same: to make sure you feel cared for, capable, and never alone in this transition. I’m BLS certified, and I bring both skill and heart into every home I enter. Each family’s journey looks different, but every one deserves to be met with compassion, calm, and understanding.

I am Childbirth/Breastfeeding Educator and Postpartum doula with over 25 years experience serving the North Austin area. I offer daytime support and education to families during the first weeks postpartum. My goal is to help new parents navigate this new territory with evidence based information and non-judgemental support and encouragement.

I am Drea Kelly, the founder of River Wild Doula Services, and I am so happy you're here! I'd love to share a bit of my story in hopes of someday hearing some of yours. ​ It has been my joy and privilege to partner with families as a doula for the past 18 years, serving them as they make some of the biggest transitions in life. I have always known I was called to this work... to hold space in the sacred, in-between places where we are transformed by the rivers running wild through us. It is such an honor to be invited onto this holy ground. ​ I believe parents have innate wisdom and intuition that can and should be trusted as they navigate the myriad of decisions in the childbearing year and beyond. As your doula I am here to be your guide and coach through those decisions, while providing the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual support you need along the way. I started River Wild with the prayer that families would be able to access the kind of care that empowered them to birth their way and raise their families with confidence. ​ I live in Cedar Park, Texas with my incredible husband who stays home with our three delicious kiddos full-time. Family hikes, cozy evenings and a good card game are just a few of our favorite things. I am currently studying to become a midwife and I am thrilled to bring this elevated level of knowledge and care to my doula families as I train in this deeper wisdom of "being with woman". ​ I can't wait to chat and hear your story!

I was inspired to pursue birth work after becoming a parent and experiencing how powerful and transformative the birthing process is. I also do this work because it brings so much joy and connection. I believe that supporting families during such a vulnerable and sacred passage in their lives, providing access to care, educating and overall empowering birthing people to trust their bodies and intuition is truly fundamental for healthy maternal/ birthing outcomes. I am the proud mama of a magical 3 year old. In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors, hiking and watching the wild dance of our trees. I love eating and getting lost in a good book. I was born in Guatemala and moved to the states when I was 7 years old. Spanish is my first language. I got a Bachelors in Marketing at Missouri State University and moved to Austin shortly thereafter. I have been married for 6 years to a man who makes me laugh. I look forward to working with you and your family!

Hi, my name is Lauren, and I have been working in childcare for over 15 years. For the past five years, I have been specializing in overnight infant care. What makes me your best choice?! I am great at what I do and tailor the experience to meet your needs. I am able to provide expert infant care while establishing safe and healthy sleep habits. I also offer guidance, education, emotional support, and general help filling the many needs that arise while adjusting to a newborn. There is no need too big or task too small for me to tackle or help you navigate. I entered this niche of child care due to my love for babies. However, I quickly realized I have a passion for supporting parents as well. I have many hours of experience helping families navigate the life altering transition of a new baby at home. Whether you want newborn care to catch up on rest, emotional support and guidance during this new phase of life, or an extra set of hands around the house, I am your girl! By the time I finish a shift, my goal is to have parents ready to start a new day feeling renewed, refreshed, and confident (as well as the added bonus of a tidy home). If I have not met that goal, I will work with you in order to change tactics and adapt to what you need. If my services are what you are looking for, please reach out via phone call, text, or email!

Hi! I'm Lacey Dowlearn! I am a Birth Boot Camp certified Childbirth Educator and Certified Birth Doula serving Round Rock families. My journey in birth work began in 2007 with the first pregancy in my group of friends. She had mentioned wanting a midwife and I started researching. I had caught the birth bug and was hooked! The idea of women helping women made my heart happy. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to be an apprentice midwife at several freestanding birth centers; labor support for homebirth, birth center and hospital clients in Round Rock and surrounding areas and have recently certified as a CBE and Doula with Birth Boot Camp. I've been married to my partner, Danny, since April 2008. He has supported me through this journey and is a great partner. I am a mom to two beautiful little girls, Annie and Jane. Both of my births took place in my home accompanied by a midwife, my very first midwifery preceptor. I breastfed both of my babies for 2 years, tandem for 6 months. That was such a wonderful and bonding experience. I want to provide the best care to each mother who trusts me with her birth experience, whether that be in hospital or at home. I believe that having a positive birth experience is the right of every woman. I will strive to help each mother and baby have a special delivery.

I am dedicated to providing you with individualized service to aid in your newborns development and also providing you with essential skills and support that will help them thrive in all aspects of life.

Hello! My name is Valerie, but most people call me Val. I am a licensed Registered Nurse located Northeast of Austin, TX. I initially obtained my license in the state of California, but endorsed it to Texas once I moved. I have always been fascinated with birth and the women’s body. Labor & Delivery was my favorite clinical throughout nursing school, however the pandemic hit right when I was in the middle of school and that affected how I wanted to move forward in my career. It wasn’t until after giving birth myself, along with having a traumatic labor and delivery that I was 100% certain this was the area of work that truly felt most passionate about and is right for me. I am focused on gaining more experience at the bedside during birth and to continue learning from mentors. I am confident with the right circumstances, environment and support that birth can be one of the most beautiful and powerful things you’ll get to experience and I would love nothing more than to be apart of that. During my free time I enjoy playing with my 18 month old, soon I’ll be chasing around 2 boys come January, making sourdough bread, and spending quality time with my husband.

Hey there! My name is Shelby and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula. I am here to offer you holistic and personalized birth and postpartum care. Specializing in high-risk pregnancies and hospital births, I am here to support you every step of the way.

My name is Meghan Boudreau - Doula and Placenta Encapsulation specialist with River Wild. I am so honored to be a part of this amazing community and am looking forward to serving you! ​ I live in Leander, TX with my amazing husband Colten, and our three wildly, wonderful children. On any given day, you will find our home full of giggles, singing, dance parties, coffee aromas, and home cooked meals - just the way we like it. If you ask my children what I do, they will tell you I “help mamas get the babies out”. Bless. ​ I was submerged into the birth world at a very young age, witnessing home births and having a deep relationship with our family midwife. Labor, placentas, and babies were very normalized topics in our house. I had the honor of witnessing and assisting at my own mother's home births, and thus, my passion and desire to serve expecting mamas was born! ​ I believe birth should always be navigated with women at the helm. I believe every woman has the freedom and maternal instinct to move, dance, laugh, cry, or roar as she finds her own unique path through labor. My job as a doula is to hold safe space for her to do just that. To come alongside each family with full acceptance, compassion, and advocacy so that they feel freedom that is rightfully theirs.
