How Much Does a Birth or Postpartum Doula Cost in Corpus Christi, TX?

Welcome to Doula Things with Mel. I’m Melanie Sandoval, a full-spectrum doula with over six years of experience supporting individuals and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, loss, and every phase in between. My work is grounded in evidence-based care and guided by a trauma-informed approach. I am also a certified breastfeeding educator and childbirth educator, committed to creating spaces where families feel informed, empowered, and supported. As a proud first-generation Mexican-American, I offer bilingual services in English and Spanish, centering cultural humility and community care in everything I do. At the core of my philosophy is the belief that birth is not just a medical event — it’s a deeply personal, emotional, and transformative experience. I approach each relationship with compassion, respect, and a commitment to listening deeply. Whether I’m teaching, providing hands-on support, or simply holding space, my goal is to meet people where they are and ensure they feel seen, heard, and valued throughout their journey.

As your doula and educator, I provide judgment-free, personalized support that meets you where you are. Whether it’s helping you find your voice to advocate for the birth experience you want, offering guidance as you settle into life with a newborn, or helping you bring order to your cluttered closet—I’m here for it! My Approach: Education That Empowers – Knowledge is a powerful tool. I provide resources, insight, and real-talk, not just textbook advice. Compassionate Coaching – I meet you where you are and help you navigate decisions with care. Practical Support – Whether holding the baby or organizing the pantry, I believe small acts can make a big impact.

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’m Jolene, a certified birth doula in South Texas. After 4 hospital births of my own, I wanted to be the support I wish I had. I love supporting first time moms and young moms on their journey so they are set up for success in their future births. My support is about educated, informed, mother-first care. When I’m not doing doula work I am supporting my local community through reproductive justice advocacy, sharing resources and education, and giving back when and where I can.

After taking a childbirth education last during my first pregnancy, and having such an empowering birth experience, I knew I was meant to help other women feel that same way. I’m a mom to three girls, my first having passed away just before turning two. I have first hand experience on pregnancy after loss. I know the importance of having the right people in your corner to make you feel safe, heard, and seen. Labor and birth are such vulnerable moments. Having someone by your side for support, encouragement, and reminding you of your voice is so important. Doulas do not replace your medical team. We do not replace your partner. We are there to be an additional layer of support for you as they focus on your medical care and your baby. And I’d love to be that person for you 💕

My name is Alyssa Delgado! I’m a mama to my daughter Josephine, and have a babe on the way (July) :) I love baking, taking care of my farm animals, and birth! I love birth education and would love to work with you!

Certified Holistic Health and Womb Wellness Practitioner, Herbalist, Doula, and Nutritionist. I found my calling in birth work at the young age of 16, where I was present at at a family members birth, and never looked back! After studying Biology at Temple University and devoting a portion of my life to modern medicine, I found a passion in Ethnobotany, which led to applying a more holistic approach to women’s health- -hyper focused on women’s reproductive health. I aid women in womb wellness through overall health and herbal healing by way of yoni steaming, abdominal chirapsia, and nutrition counseling. My doula duties are universally geared toward family-directed, physiologic childbirth, antenatal and postpartum care, newborn care, herbal remedies, reproductive care(pre-conception to postpartum) and placenta medicine.

Hi, my name is Alaya, owner of Lay Naturals. After experiencing womb complications of my own including PCOS, I turned to contraception for help only to find out later that it caused my womb issues to worsen. Eager to heal my womb, I switched over to a holistic lifestyle, changing my diet and studying herbalism. I reversed my womb issues and became passionate to help other women take back their power and heal their wombs. I am now a certified doula assisting women in every stage on their journey to motherhood including fertility, conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I am so grateful that my experience has led me here. I am also a licensed massage therapist specializing in prenatal massage.

MyiDoula is not here to change your mind about having a hospital birth or even a medicated one. We are here to serve you through your pregnancy and enhance your birth experience positively.

My name is Sophie Perkins and I grew up in Kerrville, TX. I have been practicing as a doula since 2020, and I have fallen in love with this work. I have no children of my own, but my wonderful girlfriend and I have plans to expand our family. While I hope to be able to carry a child, we are very excited about the prospect of adopting or fostering children! My hobbies include spending time with my partner and pets, renovating our home, and reading. In 2016, a friend of mine got pregnant and hired a doula. Hearing her birth story was such a privilege and an eye opening experience! As the months passed, she shared with me honestly what it was like being a new mom–the sleep deprivation, confusion, visceral joy and love of having a child. I felt so honored that she would trust me, and I was inspired to find my place beside families as they welcome new children. I looked into doula work and was hooked immediately. After I was trained, I knew with certainty that I had found my passion.

Hi everyone!! I’m Micaela! I have been practicing as a postpartum doula for almost 2 years and I’ve been a certified postpartum doula for almost a year! I am a single momma to my 3 year old son named Tobias! If I’m not chasing my wild child around, you’ll find me cuddled up on the couch watching some reality tv, maybe reading a good book, or in a coffee shop enjoying an over priced coffee. I also enjoy being outdoors, taking my son anywhere that will get all of his energy out, or hanging out with some like minded friends who are apart of my village as much as I’m apart of theirs! I had my son as a single, young, 18 year old woman. I was incredibly lost and didn’t know what I was doing(even though I had taken care of countless babies) I didn’t know how to handle it on my own. Megan Taylor was my doula and that was my first look into what support looks like during childbirth and even after!! I had already known I loved children and working with babies( I have been doing it since I was 13) but what I didn’t know was how much I enjoyed serving families and mamas who are stuck and exhausted just like I once was. My calling became clear to me once I began my relationship with Christ! His calling on my life and doing his good work is why I decided to become certified, so I could continue living out my passion and serve so many other women just like I was once served!

Whether you choose to birth your baby in the comfort of your home, in a birth center, or the hospital, each story will be full of significant, beautiful moments that worth remembering.
