I am a birth and postpartum doula deeply committed to supporting families with compassionate, evidence-based care during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I believe birth is a powerful, transformative experience, and every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and confident in their choices. I also offer placenta encapsulation services as well as placenta and breast milk art. My philosophy centers on informed consent, intuitive support, and meeting each family exactly where they are; emotionally, physically, and culturally. I strive to create a calm, grounded presence that allows birthing parents to feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout their journey. I am honored to have been voted Best Doula in Houston for 2025, a recognition that reflects my dedication to personalized care and meaningful connection with the families I serve. Whether you’re planning a medicated birth, unmedicated birth, or something in between, my role is not to direct your experience, but to walk alongside you, offering education, advocacy, and unwavering support so you can approach birth with confidence and trust in your body.

Debbie Thomas of Guiding Hands Birth Services was an incredible source of peace and guidance throughout our first birth journey. As first-time parents, we had so many questions and hopes for a low-intervention birth. Debbie provided a thoughtful guide we frequently turned to, and her late-night and early morning support allowed us to ask questions without any judgment. During my long 35-hour labor, Debbie remained a calming and steady presence, even when complications led to a C-section. Afterward, my husband reflected on the moments where I was so scared and weak, she was able to give support he didn’t know to give ‘That’s exactly why we decided to hire Debbie… she was worth every penny.’ She has such a heart for serving others, and we are deeply grateful. If you are in The Woodlands or surrounding area, Debbie Thomas is exactly who you want by your side… she will guide you with compassion, knowledge, and unwavering support.

Hello! So great to meet you, I'm Max! I am a LGBT/ Queer affirming birth doula who brings a unique perspective to the pregnancy and laboring experience. My background in body work and physical therapy gives me a distinctive understanding of how to apply my skills as a doula to physiological birth. My calming presence is reassuring to those I'm supporting, and their families. I am passionate about empowering all pregnant and birthing people. My strength is my adaptability; which allows me to support families in their choices. I am a parent to my 13year old clone, who I birthed at home. I run a suburban goat farm and have two giant fur babies that try to steal my bed. (Great Danes named Freyja and Kuma). I enjoy dad jokes, puns, and free books. I identify as a transmasc, nonbinary human. I use they/he pronouns.

Max is the best. I have very complicated pregnancies and work in ob so max understands my stress levels and always put me at ease through out. Our family worked with max during my second pregnancy which was debatably the worst, and my third. Max always had a plan for our sessions and understood how crappy things were for a mom with hg. When it came to my labor all the prep work I did with him absolutely paid off. During these pregnancies I felt more skilled because max. He helped me remain present, create realistic goals, and take care of myself which can be so difficult. I truely trust the work he does and feel that he is such a valuable member of my birth team. Doulas are a blessing.

I am a Certified Newborn Care Specialist, Certified Postpartum Doula, and Certified Infant Sleep Consultant with over a decade of hands-on experience supporting families through the newborn and postpartum stages. I am also certified in Safe Sleep Education and HIPAA Compliance, and I am an active member of the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric & Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN), allowing me to provide evidence-based care in alignment with OB-GYN and perinatal teams. My expertise lies in overnight newborn care, particularly with high-needs infants, including freshly discharged NICU infants, premature multiples, and medically complex babies, with experience supporting individualized feeding plans, including NG tube care and feeding tube management, in close collaboration with parents and medical teams. I am also experienced in developmental sleep conditioning and establishing structured yet gentle routines that promote healthy sleep patterns. I provide attentive, high-level postpartum support, ensuring both baby and parents are cared for with intention, discretion, and professionalism. I approach every family with a calm, intuitive presence, creating an environment that feels both restful and reassuring. My care style is gentle, detail-oriented, and rooted in safety, while remaining adaptable to each baby’s temperament and each family’s unique dynamic. I take pride in not only supporting infants, but also in guiding parents to feel confident, informed, and at ease during this transition. Having worked with singletons, multiples, and extremely preterm infants, I am comfortable in high-responsibility roles and thrive in environments that require both attentiveness and emotional intelligence. I am deeply committed to safe sleep practices and maintaining the highest standards of care at all times. In addition to my clinical experience, I bring a strong background in client relations, business development, and creative production, along with leadership training from Harvard Business School and a professional certificate in Corporate Finance from Columbia. This allows me to integrate seamlessly, communicate effectively, and uphold a high level of professionalism in every interaction. I am seeking opportunities with families who value a thoughtful, elevated level of care, where I can provide consistent, nurturing support while helping create a sense of balance, rest, and confidence during the postpartum period.

Having Fontanne as our Newborn Care Specialist during our baby’s first few months was truly such a blessing for our family. As a first-time mom, I was adjusting to so many changes at once, and having someone so knowledgeable, caring, and dependable by my side made those early months so much easier. Fontanne was always punctual and professional, but what stood out most was how naturally she cared for our baby and supported me as a new mom. She helped me with breastfeeding and lactation, answered so many of my questions, and gave me reassurance during a time when everything felt new. One of the biggest gifts was being able to get some much needed sleep. I could actually rest knowing my baby was in safe and capable hands, and after finally getting consistent sleep, I honestly felt like a new woman. That support made such a difference in my recovery and in how I was able to enjoy those early weeks with my baby. Fontanne also helped us establish a healthy routine and worked with our baby on sleep. By 14 weeks, our baby was sleeping through the night, which was a huge milestone for our family and something we are still so grateful for. She became such an important part of our experience during those first few months. I would recommend Fontanne to any new or expecting parent looking for someone who is knowledgeable, patient, reliable, and genuinely cares about both the baby and the parents. We are so thankful we had her during such a special time in our lives.

I’m deeply passionate about supporting mothers through every stage of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum with a hands-on, heart-centered approach.

I bring to every birth: • Therapeutic, intuitive touch • A calm and reassuring voice • A warm, relatable presence • A sense of humor that puts you at ease • And a deep commitment to advocacy and education My mission is to be a steady and empowering presence for women—especially those navigating high-risk pregnancies, stress, anxiety, or difficult life circumstances. I believe in creating sacred, safe spaces where mothers feel seen, supported, and confident as they bring life into the world. As your doula, I’ll walk alongside you, offering evidence-based information, compassionate care, and unwavering support before, during, and after birth.

Safety, support and compassion are the keys to healthy birthing. As a somatic birth practitioner with over 16 years of experience as a Full Spectrum Doula I am honored to hold this loving space for you and this beautiful gift you are bringing into the world.

Recent review

This is honestly a difficult review to write… not because there is any shortage of reasons to praise Cherish, but because no amount of it can truly do justice to explaining just how meaningful her presence was in my journey from pregnancy through childbirth. As a headstrong person intent on going about a “natural” birth within the healthcare system, I knew I wanted to have a doula to help campaign for me, to provide me support and tools through one of the most vulnerable and raw processes a woman can go through. I interviewed many doulas, and while many seemed qualified on paper, I just knew something was missing. Then as fate would have it, I came across Cherish. We had an initial call to discuss the variety of services she offered. Already then, speaking with her felt natural, like meeting someone who you knew could be a friend. It was easy to sense that she genuinely cared, and exuded passion (and compassion). We had meetings and check-ins throughout my pregnancy, to discuss logistics such as my birth plan, generalities like how I was feeling and how certain tests went, as well as address more spiritual matters like my feelings around becoming a mom or subconscious fears that were surfacing for me. Every time I was filled with awe and gratitude for the perfect alignment of her complete holistic support that I knew I had been seeking all along. To make matters more complicated, I went over my due date and with each passing day, my doctor (and the healthcare system) started to tout medical fear mongering to push me into an induction that I knew I did not want/need to do. After every check-up, Cherish and I would connect to logically discuss from a place of knowledge and trust. It was not simply “We are not inducing”, but rather “We are trusting all positive signs of the monitoring and taking an educated stance on it not being medically necessary at this time.” To make a long story short, at 41 weeks and 6 days I finally gave birth to the most perfect, healthy and beautiful baby girl. There was no epidural, no cascade of interventions, no “emergency c section”. If it were not for Cherish’s support, I have no doubt my story could have gone very differently. Instead, when I think about my labor, even with all the variables I could not control for (and that is childbirth at the end of the day), I feel like I had as perfect of an experience as I could have wished for. Not because it was without its share of complexity, but because I truly felt I was in the best hands. Cherish’s presence carried me through every minute of labor’s pain and challenges. I wanted my labor to be intimate with just my partner and myself, and having Cherish did not distract from that in any way. (She had also met my partner in advance of my labor to provide him with tools to help support me in the process.) I ultimately felt more comfortable with her presence in my delivery room than I would have been with my own family. She truly has a place in my heart for life, and there is no question that if I were to go through this process again, I would hope (and be so lucky!) for Cherish to again be by my side.

Exceptional Postpartum Support – A True Blessing to this first time mummy. I cannot express enough gratitude for Teneka and the incredible support she provided during my postpartum recovery. As someone who had stitches, her care and assistance made my healing process so much easier. She was always attentive to my comfort and well-being, ensuring I had the time and space to rest while also supporting me in caring for my newborn. One of the things I truly appreciated was how proactive she was—she never waited to be asked. She would top up baby and mum supplies without hesitation, making sure I always had everything I needed. She also made sure I ate properly and stayed hydrated, knowing how important it was for my recovery and milk supply. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail made such a difference during this critical time. Her warmth, knowledge, and kindness created a stress-free and nurturing environment, and I felt so supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Teneka to any new parent—she is truly a gem, and I’m beyond grateful for her care!

We had the pleasure of having Taylor as our Doula for our first born! Taylor was both supportive & provided essential childbirth education prior to my wife being in labor. This helped us know what to expect & what red flags to look out for. During labor, we truly do not know how we would’ve done it with out her. When labor began to intensify she stepped into action to make sure my wife was as comfortable as possible through different stretches, massages, and comforting words. Over the past few months Taylor was more than a doula, she truly felt as part of the family and felt like a critical part of our birthing team at the hospital. I couldn’t recommend her more and we plan on using her for all our future births!

I had a great experience with Dana as my doula. We didn't meet until the end of my third trimester because I decided I needed a doula at the last minute. Dana listened to all my concerns about the care I received, and even attended one of my last OB appointments. I felt that she was well informed about pregnancy and labor. I enjoyed going over my birth plan with Dana because she explained everything line by line. I went into labor prematurely at 36 weeks and Dana didn't panic. She came to the delivery room and I feel like everything moved fast. She set up music like I wanted, dimmed the lights, and helped my husband with positions. I was able to have a vaginal birth with no epidural like I wanted. This meant so much to me because the specialist I was seeing told me I would have to be induced and have a c-section. Dana made me feel supported and helped me feel calm during labor. I was able to make informed decisions about my care and not feel anxious going into labor. Even after the delivery, Dana got food for me and my husband and checked on us until we all went home. Our post-partum visit at home went well and Dana was able to get my baby to latch. I had a positive experience for my first birth, and I would recommend Dana to anyone looking for a doula.

I contacted Monisha through Bornbir when I was 36 weeks pregnant. After speaking with her I knew that she was the doula for me. She was very informative and helpful and the initial conversation was like I was talking to someone I already knew. She came over and helped my husband and I through exercises and techniques for pain management prior to labor and answered all of the questions that we had. My goal was to have a natural birth with no medication and she helped tremendously in accomplishing that goal. I could not have done it without her. She also helped tremendously with postpartum assistance with the baby when my husband needed to go back to work. She even did my hair! I couldn’t imagine a better experience.
