Hello everyone, my name is Shakina Coston. I’m a certified birth, death and postpartum doula. located in Houston TX. I am a mother to three children I understand what it means to have a peaceful, relaxing pregnancy someone to answer all your questions. I had a Doula for all three of my pregnancies, it showed me how important it is to have a Doula doing your pregnancy.

Caring for babies and supporting new families has always been a real part of who I am. Before I ever earned certifications, I was already the person everyone trusted with their newborns, toddlers, and the most sensitive moments of early parenting. Becoming a Certified Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula simply helped me put skill and structure behind something that has always come naturally to me. I understand how overwhelming the newborn stage can feel from the exhaustion, the learning curve, the emotions that come with healing and adjusting and my goal is to bring calm, confidence, and comfort into a family’s home. I take my time learning each baby’s unique cues and each mother’s individual needs so I can support both in a gentle, respectful, and compassionate way. i believe every family deserves to feel supported, every baby deserves to feel safe, and every mother deserves to be cared for during one of the most important transitions of her life. I believe in nurturing the whole family, not just the newborn, by creating peaceful routines, offering evidence based guidance, and providing help that feels loving rather than intrusive. Whether I’m assisting with nighttime care, helping a mom rest and recover, supporting feeding goals, or creating a comfortable rhythm in the home, I show up with patience, kindness, and understanding. My intention is always the same to make those early days feel lighter, to help parents feel more confident, and to leave families feeling stronger than when I arrived.

Hello everyone, my name is Arneko Mckennis and I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula and a Certified Life Coach located in Conroe, TX. I have a passion for caring for mothers and babies. I come from a background in the Business Healthcare Administration field. My practice supports mothers and their families during and after the birthing process. I lead with empathy, compassion and knowledge. I remain positive and encouraging, creating a calming and peaceful atmosphere.

I’m a proud Houston native, social worker, and the founder of Sankofa Doula and Family Services. My path into birth work was shaped by my deep passion for supporting families and my commitment to addressing the Black maternal health crisis with care that is both compassionate and culturally grounded. With a background in social work, I bring a trauma-informed lens to every family I serve—honoring the impact of systemic and generational trauma while creating safe, affirming spaces for healing and support. “Sankofa” means “go back and get it,” a reminder that we carry powerful wisdom from our past. Through full-spectrum doula care, I offer guidance and support during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond—walking alongside families as they build strength, wellness, and joy across generations. When you work with me, you’re not just supported—you’re seen, heard, and truly valued.

A wife, mother of two, and proud Houstonian. Giving birth to my first child was a transformative experience. I quickly realized how much I didn't know about breastfeeding and the numerous options available to me during birth. This lack of knowledge was overwhelming, and I couldn't help but think about other first-time moms who might be feeling the same way. That moment sparked a deep desire within me to do more— to guide and support other women as they transition into motherhood. Driven by this passion, I became a life coach for mothers, helping them navigate the beautiful yet challenging transition into motherhood. But as my passion for maternal support grew, I felt motivated to do even more. After much reflection, I decided to pursue a career as a doula.

Hello, my name is Keyana and I’m 27 years old, Mother of 1. I aspired to become a postpartum doula because of my deep passion for supporting new mothers during one of the most transformative phases of their lives. Having experienced the joy and challenges of early motherhood firsthand, I understand the crucial need for compassionate guidance and practical assistance during the postpartum period. My previous experience as a childbirth educator has equipped me with a solid foundation in prenatal and postnatal care, as well as effective communication skills to connect with families. I am dedicated to providing emotional support, nurturing, and evidence-based information to empower mothers as they navigate the complexities of newborn care and adjust to their new roles. Becoming a postpartum doula allows me to combine my empathy, knowledge, and desire to make a positive impact on families during this vulnerable and rewarding time.

I have been a birth worker for 8 years and have 15 years of infant care experience as a professional nanny, postpartum doula, and educator. I am a mom of 4 crazy lovable kiddos (2015, 2017, 2021, and 2023) and I have personally experienced hospital birth and out of hospital birth. It was the care of 2 volunteer doulas during my first birth who helped drive my desire to become a birth worker. I am passionate about education as an incredible tool to build confidence and help birth outcomes. I believe everyone should have access to the highest level of education and care during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. This is driven by my belief that every person is born with inherent dignity, value, and worth and that women’s bodies are strong and beautifully made to birth their baby. I have a true calling to do this work and it is an incredible honor to be part of each family’s birth journey that I serve! When I am not teaching childbirth education or processing a placenta, I enjoy servicing at my church and all things musical theatre and fantasy. Two things that will always make me smile are dance parties with my kids and trying new restaurants with my husband.

Hello! My name is Angela and I grew up in Houston TX, in the land of bbq and “y’all”. Im a Latino woman born and raised in Houston. My father was born in Venezuela and mother, on the Alabama Coushatta reservation near Livingston. I grew up in a large family amongst 6 siblings who taught me how important it is to take into account a plurality of perspectives and experiences. I am trained as a birth and postpartum doula through Doula Trainings International and have a wealth of information I acquired through research, education, and life experience. I believe in the popular education model, and see that education doesn't follow hierarchical pathways; it always flows in both directions. I’m also a research nerd. I believe that Doula support helps lay the groundwork for a satisfying experience. As a Full Spectrum Doula, i see the pregnant person and their loved ones as the center around which care revolves. I operate as a pillar to the family and their relationship becomes a solid foundation you can rely on providing consistency, information, and a therapeutic presence as you all navigate physical and emotional tides, and as your experience unfolds.

I help moms enjoy motherhood and have time for themselves once the baby is down for the night. Dads have reported waking energized with a new pep in their step after implementing my strategies.

In my free time, I enjoy baking delicious gluten-free desserts and hanging out with my sweet nephews. If you're looking for an experienced Doula or Newborn Care Specialist who's calm, a joy to be around, and goes with the flow, let's connect.

Hello! My name is Shala and I’m a birth and postpartum doula in Houston, TX. I run my business and center my birth philosophy on three main principles: empathy, autonomy, and authenticity. Every Well Rooted Doula client has the right to self determination and is supported in creating the birth that they see fit. I believe in the body’s innate ability to birth and encourage clients to listen to and trust the signals their body sends them before, during, and after birth. Additionally, I believe that it’s my duty to help clients advocate for their birthing visions, wherever and however they take place. Clients are welcomed and celebrated regardless of race, socioeconomic status, nationality, sexuality, religion, or gender identity, etc. I want to support you in having a happy and joyful birth and postpartum period! To do so, I employ active listening, critical thinking, and work to create opportunities for feedback.
