I’m Carmen, a Birth-Agnostic doula living in Arlington, TX with my husband and two amazing kiddos. Bringing more compassion, humanity, respect and nurturing to birth work in the U.S. has been a passion of mine since I first began my motherhood journey over ten years ago. Birth is an experience unlike any other in a birth giver’s life, culminating not only in the birth of a brand new life, but also a new version of the birth giver. During the sacred window leading up to the birth and continuing on through the postpartum period, it is crucial that all birth givers have the physical, mental and spiritual support they need to navigate this journey wholly— with confidence and without fear. This is my goal with Mama Nurture.

Being a first time mom and living away from family it was very important to have some support my first few weeks of being home with my newborn. As soon as I met Carmen I immediately knew she would be a good fit for my postpartum doula! She was friendly, welcoming, and supportive. During the night I felt comfortable and at ease with her taking care of our newborn and my husband and I getting much needed rest and our little one as well. Thank you Carmen for your support the first few weeks, don’t know what we would’ve done!

Hi, I’m Melanie Powell—certified doula, childbirth educator, author of From Fear to First Cry, and the founder of both Little Flower Birth Services and the non-profit Under His Wings Collective. As a mother myself, I know firsthand that bringing a child into the world is one of the most profound, transformative journeys you will ever take. But I also know it can bring up deep questions, past fears, and medical anxieties. That is why my life’s work is dedicated to walking beside women and their partners, ensuring you never have to navigate the medical landscape alone. Through Little Flower Birth Services, my practice is rooted in three core pillars: Advocacy to help your partner step into their role as your protector, Sanctuary to guard your peace with a protective "Baby Bubble," and Autonomy to honor your God-given intuition through a trauma-informed framework. Whether I'm teaching evidence-based physiological birth classes, coaching partners in our signature advocacy workshops, or offering quiet, steadfast support in the delivery room, my goal is to transform your anxieties into your greatest strengths. Beyond my private practice, my heart for community led me to establish Under His Wings Collective—a non-profit initiative dedicated to expanding access to sliding-scale and free childbirth education, alongside trauma-informed virtual doula support (such as our Virtual Bloom Package) for Medicaid-eligible, low-income, and high-anxiety mothers who deserve dedicated care regardless of circumstance. When I’m not supporting families across the DFW Metroplex, leading virtual education cohorts, or advocating through the collective, you can usually find me baking something nourishing for loved ones or cherishing quiet moments with my daughter. You deserve to enter your birth room feeling strong, informed, and deeply supported. I would be honored to walk this sacred journey with you.

What made us choose Melanie as our birth doula for our first birth experience was the fact that she was Catholic and she offered a lot in her birth package. She was extremely helpful all throughout my pregnancy, especially on the day of my delivery. She helped us map out a birth plan and she did a great job educating us. During my labor, Melanie coached me through exercises she prepped us with to deal with the contractions. After I got my epidural, I was still experiencing pain on my right side. Melanie spent hours lightly shaking the area to get my daughter to move. It really helped me deal with the pain. She also helped the nurse with getting my daughter to turn face down to prepare for birth. Melanie offered me the comfort and support I needed in the last hours of my labor. Because of her support, my husband was able to get some extra sleep so he could be present with me and available post-birth. I would strongly recommend Melanie as a doula.

Working with newborns has been one of the most meaningful and transformative parts of my life. As a Newborn Care Specialist and doula, I’ve had the privilege of stepping into families’ lives during one of their most tender and vulnerable seasons. My work is a blend of expertise, intuition, and genuine care—supporting parents while nurturing their little ones with patience, gentleness, and respect. Over the years, I’ve supported families through every kind of newborn experience: the sleepy, peaceful stretches; the unpredictable nights; the feeding challenges; the emotional highs and lows; and the beautiful moments of connection that make it all worthwhile. I’ve guided parents through establishing healthy routines, understanding newborn cues, navigating feeding choices, and building confidence in their own instincts. My approach is grounded in evidence-based care, but also in honoring each family’s unique rhythm and values. Whether I’m soothing a fussy baby, helping a parent master a swaddle, or simply offering a calm presence in the middle of the night, my goal is always the same—to create a sense of safety, support, and empowerment. Being invited into a family’s home during such an intimate time is something I never take lightly. Every newborn I’ve cared for has taught me something new, and every parent I’ve supported has reminded me of the strength and tenderness that define early parenthood. It’s a privilege to walk alongside families as they welcome new life, and it’s work I carry with deep gratitude.

I was so nervous about hiring a night nanny, especially with our 7 week old, but Monique immediately made me feel comfortable and gave me complete peace of mind that I could trust her with our baby. She is incredibly attentive and thorough, providing a detailed report of every feeding, pee, poop, and anything else that happened throughout the night, while also making sure our baby was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m so grateful we found Monique and would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for someone caring, trustworthy, and attentive to help with their little one.

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.

Hi moms! My name is Samantha, I’m a mom of 4, lactation enthusiast, pet lover, Army veteran and #DONA certified doula! I’m excited to be walking in my new found purpose of supporting moms through their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum! I believe every woman deserves to feel seen, heard, & held during childbirth. I show up to remind you that your voice matters, your body knows what to do, and you do not have to walk this journey alone. I, myself, have had 4 different types of births- emergency c-section, scheduled c-section, vaginal birth after 2 c-sections w/epidural, & an unmedicated water birth in the comfort of my own home. However you plan to bring your little one earth side, I stand beside you every step of the way.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Samantha. From the very beginning, she was supportive, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer every question with patience, and make sure I felt prepared for each stage of the journey. During labor, her calm presence made such a difference. She advocated for me when I needed it, reminded me of my birth preferences, and offered comfort and encouragement that kept me grounded. Whether it was suggesting position changes, guiding my breathing, or simply holding my hand, she knew exactly what I needed in the moment. Beyond the birth, she continued to check in and provide resources that helped me transition smoothly into postpartum life. Her compassion, professionalism, and dedication truly exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a doula who will not only support you but also empower you, I wholeheartedly recommend Samantha. She made my experience more positive, peaceful, and memorable than I ever could have imagined.

I'm Taylor, your dedicated birth and postpartum doula. As a native of Dallas, my life's journey has been a blend of enriching experiences and fulfilling adventures, all of which have guided me to my true calling—supporting new families during the prenatal & postpartum period. Right after college, I embarked on a transformative adventure to Thailand. Living and teaching in this beautiful country was an eye-opening experience that profoundly shaped my worldview. It was here that I found my inspiration to live freely, purposefully, and in service to others. In my everyday life, I love juicing and cooking. When I’m not assisting families, you can find me hiking the trails around Dallas, reading or traveling. I also cherish going to the movies. Pregnancy and postpartum are crucial for both the baby and the parents. As your birth/postpartum doula, my goal is to provide unwavering support, compassionate care, and practical guidance. Drawing from my holistic experiences and nurturing spirit, I am here to ensure that this transition is as smooth and joyful as possible for you and your family. I look forward to working with you and supporting your family during this precious time. Together, we can create a nurturing environment where both you and your baby can thrive.

Taylor was such a light during my journey as a first time mom. Her kindness and care for others radiates out of her. I found in her a place of support as we discussed everything from breastfeeding to the return of my cycles. We also trusted her with the care of our sweet baby, whom she tenderly watched over. We are so grateful for Taylor!

We hired Shannon as our doula to help with the birth. She was good about communicating with us beforehand, and had answers for all of our questions. She helped empower me during my labor and pushing, and I appreciated having her there to support, guide, and comfort me through that time. Once I had given birth, she taught me how to nurse my baby. I was glad to have such a supportive woman at my side through it all. She also took a lot of pressure off of my husband by comforting and encouraging me (since he didn’t quite know how to help me at that time), which we very much appreciated. Overall, it was a good experience.
