Hi friend! I'm Bianca, brand new to Texas, originally from Philly. I am a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS), Full Spectrum Doula and am currently working toward my Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) and Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C). My work really sits at the intersection of clinical support, lived experience, and hands-on, activity-based care. I’m also a breastfeeding mom of two little boys under five, so on any given day, I’m also a dinosaur trainer and a fully operational milk factory. Becoming a mother completely changed the way I understand support. There were many moments during pregnancy and postpartum where I realized how powerful it is to have someone in your corner. Someone understanding, calm, and knowledgeable when everything feels new and overwhelming. That experience is a big part of why I stepped into birth work. I wanted to become the kind of support I once needed. (And sometimes still do.)

I am a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS), Full Spectrum Doula and am currently working toward my Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) and Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C). My work really sits at the intersection of clinical support, lived experience, and hands-on, activity-based care. Through therapeutic recreation, I've focused on using purposeful, structured activities to support emotional regulation, identity, and overall mental wellness. It’s not just “activities” in the casual sense but a clinical approach that helps people reconnect with themselves, build coping skills, and feel more grounded through what they’re doing and experiencing in real time. As a postpartum doula, I provide non-clinical, in-home support during the transition into parenthood, including infant care guidance, feeding support, light household assistance, and consistent, nonjudgmental companionship. I integrate therapeutic, activity-based approaches to support nervous system regulation and identity shifts, while also offering ongoing observation and informal mental health screening to help identify and support perinatal mood and anxiety concerns.
