Find a Doula Near Me that Accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas

Hi, I'm Grace! I'm a certified birth and postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, and pediatric sleep consultant serving families throughout Austin and Central Texas. I believe every birth deserves knowledgeable, compassionate, and judgment-free support. Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth at home or in a birth center, preparing for a hospital induction, considering an epidural, or scheduling a cesarean, my goal is to help you feel informed, confident, and supported throughout your experience. I'm especially comfortable navigating hospital environments and births involving medical interventions. I love helping families understand their options, communicate their preferences, and feel empowered to make decisions that are right for them. My approach is evidence-based, collaborative, and centered on you. I'm here to support your choices, not push my own ideas of what birth should look like. I also recognize how important it is for partners to feel included and supported. Birth is a team effort, and I work alongside your partner and medical providers to help create a calm, encouraging environment. Beyond birth, I offer overnight postpartum support, newborn care education, and pediatric sleep consulting to help families navigate life with a new baby. Whether your birth unfolds exactly as planned or takes an unexpected turn, you deserve someone in your corner who can help you feel heard, respected, and cared for. I'd love to get to know you and hear what you're hoping for with your birth!

I am a mother of five and have supported women on their motherhood journey since high school. I often feel that doula work chose me and not the other way around. Having attended over 150 deliveries as a professional DONA-trained doula, I have experience in various births and know the power this moment carries. I have pursued a unique area of study in anxiety and sensory sensitivity. Along with this, I have extensive experience in: *IVF journeys *VBAC *Mothers of Advanced Maternal Age *Hospital Deliveries *High Risk Delivery *Successful use of Epidural *Navigating home birth transfers *Mothers with sensory needs and/or need for mental health support I would love to set up a time to talk about how I may be able to help support you during your pregnancy and birth!

My name is Laporcha Foster most people call me LaLa. I am from Houston, Texas and I am a mother to 4 beautiful souls (3 girls and 1 boy). I am a traveling birth/postpartum doula who is also an end of life doula (helping others transition over to the after life). I became a doula after realizing nursing school wasn’t for me. I wanted to be a L&D nurse then a Nurse Practitioner so I could deliver babies. One day I was talking to my spiritual coach who told me my ancestors told her I was a medicine healing lady, and my life purpose was to be a midwife. I never thought to be one even though I heard so many people talked about having midwives and doula when I was pregnant with my son. I decided to do some research and I fell in love with the results and became a certified trained birth/postpartum doula through Madriella Doula Network. Being other women and families support system is my top priority. Rather it’s in a home, birthing center, or hospital I’m there! I am now attending a midwifery program at Midwives College of Utah (MCU) and trusting the process of this new journey. I look forward to meeting with you and vibing off good and positive energy. Peace and blessings!
