Hello everyone! My name is Jody Janek and I am a birth doula. My background is education in many areas: home economics, child development, early childhood, special education and ended with school counseling for pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. I'm married to my lifelong sweetheart and I have three amazing grown children that have three amazing spouses. My absolute joy in life is being a Lolli to four precious grandbabies and more to come!!! I love birth! I feel that there is no birth story better than any other. My goal as a doula is to keep you calm, peaceful, and fearless with lots of love and positive affirmations. Let me help you make your "dream birth" come true.

I wasn’t sure I would need a doula or not. This was my second unmedicated birth and my first went well so we questioned the value. When I tell you it made my birth experience tremendously different, it made a world of difference. My birth this time was about half the time of my first and the contractions picked up quickly. It was amazing to have someone guide my labor the whole way, time contractions for me, play my playlist, help do hip squeezes and comfort measures before I even asked for them. There was a point when I had stalled and my midwife suggested breaking my water to help progress things. I was in laborland and couldn’t think at that point, and Jody guided me through the risk and reward factors to help me make an informed choice. Having her helped my husband be less anxious because he had her knowledge and support to lean on. She knew when to step in and when to step back. If birth had a best friend, it would be Jody. I highly recommend her to anyone in or out of hospital for any birth, but especially if your goal is an unmedicated birth, book her now and thank me later!

I am so excited you’re here!! 💞 I am Alice Perez, Certified Birth Doula serving Collin and Grayson County, TX. I am absolutely wild about birth. Experiencing two different but beautiful births myself fueled a fire in me to support birthing individuals. I believe every birth has a purpose— to grow, to create, to expand, to learn, to heal. My goal is to assist you in leaning into this purpose and becoming the mother you were always made to be. ✨ I hope to answer any questions, provide support and references, and help you to make your birth every bit as intense and magical and full of devine purpose that it can be.

Hi! I am a birth doula serving Tarrant and Parker counties. I specialize in hospital birth, and have experience with high risk moms, as well as moms who have experienced previous birth, medical, or other trauma. I love empowering and educating moms to be able to make their own confident decisions! I believe that birth support isn’t a luxury service. I am able to break my free up into multiple payments, and can accept HSA. I also work with an organization that might be able to provide a doula at no cost to you for those who qualify. Contact me today to schedule a free consultation to see if I would be a good fit for you!

I found Cynthia in a panic around 36 weeks pregnant, after my original doula didn’t work out. I had accepted the fact that I wouldn’t have a doula & it was probably too late to find someone. Cynthia heard my story and quickly took me under her wing. She helped me with prepping for labor, gave me tools to get the baby in an optimal position, & as a bonus, became a bff to my toddler! This was my first home birthing experience so I was so thankful she was willing to help me. When it came time that I went into labor, Cynthia was quick to be here & assist me. I labored extremely quick & there is no way I could have handled my wild labor without her. She kept me calm & reminded me I could do it & to breath through the contractions. She helped me clear my head space & stay grounded. I will forever be thankful for Cynthia & highly recommend her! If I decide to have more babies, I will definitely be using her again.

As a Certified Doula, I love walking beside families through the transitions of pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I believe having access to positive support during those times contributes not only to better birth outcomes, but stronger bonds within the family and community as well. A mother of six myself, and while I have many interests and hobbies, like gardening and reading (SO much reading!) my knowledge around birth and motherhood has been a constant thread of connection with those I meet. I am honored when families value my input by bringing their questions to me! I am always seeking to learn more and have no hesitation in pointing clients to other resources if I am unsure of an answer. I strive to encourage an informed, prepared, and calm birth environment for my clients, meeting challenges that arise with patience and proven techniques.

My journey as a birth and postpartum doula began over five years ago from a deep calling to support families during one of the most transformative seasons of their lives. I have always believed that birth and the postpartum period are not just medical events, but sacred transitions that deserve care rooted in dignity, advocacy, emotional safety, and education. Through my work with Affirmative Parenting Solutions LLC and Love How You Heal, I have had the privilege of walking alongside diverse families, offering evidence-informed, trauma-responsive, and faith-centered doula care. As a birth doula, I have supported clients through a wide range of birth experiences, including unmedicated vaginal births, epidural-assisted labors, inductions, and cesarean deliveries. One client I supported was a first-time mother who entered labor with significant anxiety due to a previous traumatic medical experience. My role included prenatal education sessions focused on understanding the birth process, coping strategies for labor, and clarifying her birth preferences. During labor, I provided continuous emotional reassurance, hands-on comfort measures such as counter-pressure and guided breathing, and advocacy support to ensure her voice was respected in the delivery room. After birth, she shared that having a consistent, calm presence made her feel empowered and safe during a process she once feared. In the postpartum setting, my work has centered on supporting families as they adjust physically, emotionally, and practically to life with a newborn. I have provided overnight and daytime postpartum care for families navigating sleep deprivation, feeding challenges, and emotional overwhelm. For example, I supported a family welcoming their second child while managing postpartum mood concerns. Services included infant care so the parent could rest, assistance with breastfeeding positioning and pumping routines, light household support, and emotional check-ins to normalize the highs and lows of the postpartum experience. I also helped connect the family to additional mental health and community resources when needed, reinforcing that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Through Affirmative Parenting Solutions LLC, my doula practice has emphasized inclusive, affirming care that meets families where they are. I have worked with single parents, blended families, and families from culturally diverse backgrounds, ensuring that care plans are personalized, respectful, and responsive. My services often include childbirth education, birth planning, labor support, postpartum recovery education, newborn care guidance, and sibling adjustment support. With Love How You Heal, my work integrates a healing-centered approach that acknowledges the emotional and spiritual dimensions of birth and parenting. I support clients in processing their birth experiences, rebuilding confidence in their bodies, and nurturing their mental and emotional well-being. This includes intentional listening, reflective support, and practical tools for self-regulation during the postpartum period. Across all settings, my approach is grounded in advocacy, compassion, and empowerment. I believe every parent deserves to feel informed, supported, and affirmed in their choices. Whether I am providing hands-on labor support, postpartum education, or simply holding space for a parent to be seen and heard, my goal remains the same: to walk alongside families with care that honors their strength, resilience, and unique journey into parenthood.

Paula is a world-class caregiver. Our baby girl had the best care, and we felt totally taken care of and trust her fully. In addition to being so loved and happy, our baby is sleeping perfectly through the night and has been since the day Paula left!

Hi, I’m Kyn! I’m a Christian birth doula based in Dallas, TX, certified since 2020. I’m passionate about supporting new parents through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. My specialty is childbirth education & birth plan preparation—helping parents navigate labor with knowledge and confidence so they can create a positive birth experience, no matter the circumstances.

I met Kyndall by chance while shopping at an organic wellness shop and within a few moments into our conversation, I knew that when my husband and I decided to start having kids, she would be my doula. As soon-to-be first-time parents, we had a lot of questions, concerns, and even some fear surrounding the birthing process, but Kyndall’s calm presence, words of affirmation, deep knowledge and understanding, helped put us at ease. During my laboring process, Kyndall’s unwavering support and reassurance guided me throughout one of the most intense moments I ever experienced. Thanks to Kyndall, I felt heard, seen, confident, and empowered to deliver our baby girl into the world. From providing me with yoga poses and breathing exercises to help me with my labor and delivery, to countless check-ins to see how the new parents were doing postpartum, Kyndall has been and continues to be a light in our lives- four years and two beautiful babies later! Kyndall is the best doula with a heart of gold and we are endlessly grateful for her support and genuine care.

My husband and I delivered our first child November of 2022 with the help of Maya. Our family was truly blessed to have her as our doula. She met with us before delivering, supported us during delivery, and met with us after delivery. During pregnancy, Maya knew I wanted to breastfeed and sent me information on breastfeeding as well as a class. During delivery, Maya made sure my needs were heard and met. She made sure my voice did not go unheard and made both my health and my family’s health the number one priority. She helped to make my birth experience peaceful and amazing. I was terrified to deliver a child but Maya quickly made all those fears go away. We definitely plan to use Maya again and highly recommend her!

I have been a doula and childbirth educator since 2004, and have attended over 600 births to date. I love to help my clients feel informed and encouraged on their journey to parenthood. I attend births in the hospital, birth centers, and at home. Many of my clients want assistance and support for an unmedicated, low-intervention birth, while others want physical, emotional and/or informational support for their birth with "all the bells and whistles." I would love to visit with you about your hopes and plans around the special day when you meet your baby.

Delilah has been our AMAZING doula for 3 births now, I feel so incredibly blessed to have found her back in 2014 when I was pregnant with my first child. From our very first conversation I felt supported and more confident in my abilities to achieve my birth goals. Throughout that first pregnancy Delilah was so helpful as I prepared for labor. We also took her childbirth class, which was great. The day of my birth she was spectacular, providing physical support, information, and overall just a wonderful addition to our birth space. Of course we went on to hire her for our 2nd and 3rd births and the support we received was always exceptional. From helping with provider recommendations while trying to conceive, to emotional support during pregnancy to in person support at the births, I couldn't have asked for a better doula.

I am a certified birth and pregnancy after infertility doula.

Tiffany is an amazing doula! Having a doula who is so passionate & encouraging really helped me during such a monumental experience in my life. I was in labor for 41 hours and she was there the entire time, alert & encouraging! She ensured I was as prepared as possible and planned for any unexpected changes. She is God fearing and prayed with my partner & I as we had to make some hard decisions during labor. Not only was she there during my pregnancy but has been a continuous support postpartum! I highly recommend her to anyone in the DFW area!

I am from Mesquite, TX. I have practiced in pediatric outpatient clinics and school settings. I love working with children, but I have found a new passion in women's health. Many of my friends have experienced different pelvic floor dysfunctions which have impacted their quality of life. It made me realize that women are under served in this area and often don't know all of their options in regard to pelvic health. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and skills with women during the pregnancy and postpartum stages of their life.
