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, I’m Precious, Founder of Precious Life Collective: Birth, Baby & Beyond I’m a proud boy mom, birth worker, and the heart behind Precious Life Collective. My journey into birth work began with the birth of my own son; a spontaneous, all-natural water birth at North Houston Birth Center. That life-changing experience awakened something deep in me—a calling to help other women feel just as powerful, safe, and supported as I did. Since giving birth, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside over 20 women; friends, first-time moms, and mentees who trusted me to support them through birth and postpartum. Whether it was being present during labor, creating birth plans, offering comfort through postpartum recovery, or assisting with newborn care and breastfeeding, I realized how deeply I’m meant to do this work. Through Precious Life Collective: Birth, Baby & Beyond, I offer full-spectrum doula support: from prenatal education and birth planning, to labor support, postpartum healing, and baby care guidance. My approach is nurturing, holistic, and rooted in real-life experience. I believe every mother deserves to feel seen, held, and empowered through every stage of this journey. This is more than a service; it’s a sisterhood. A safe, sacred space where your story matters—because your life is precious, and so is the new life you're bringing into the world.

Hi! I'm Nayo a certified birth and postpartum doula. My approach to doula-ing is one that is very family centered. I love for my families to have all of the facts and then they make the best decision for them. I enjoy journeying with families through birth and postpartum. I'm a proud mama of two smart, rambunctious boys. I love to cook for and spend quality time with my family and friends. When birthing schedule allows, I also love travelling. I found my way to being a doula after the birth of my second baby. Though my pregnancy and birth were perfectly planned and perfectly played out, I had nothing setup and prepared for postpartum. Two days after I gave birth I was up making myself breakfast, getting my oldest off to school, and driving myself and new baby to his first pediatric appointment. I felt alone and isolated. Many days I would just cry from being overwhelmed. I told my doula and lactation consultant that as soon as I was healed I would train to be a postpartum doula so that no other families nor mom would have to suffer in silence. Now, as a birth and postpartum doula, I get to make sure that moms can have the birth they want, and a peaceful, sustainable life after their sweet baby has arrived. It's truly my passion to ensure families thrive through this wild time in their lives.

Inspired by my own reproductive journey, I feel called to do birth work in this phase of my life. I have the most wonderful five year old daughter and being her Mom is absolutely the best part of my life, however my journey to her did not come without its challenges. From struggling with pregnancy loss, to a pregnancy that required me to be on full bed rest for my entire third trimester, and ultimately delivering via c-section. I am well versed in needing supportive around the clock care. And most importantly I count that care as one of my biggest blessings. I believe that care is what allowed me to bring a beautiful baby to this world safely and transition to motherhood with confidence.

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.

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. As a mother myself, I understand that birth doesn’t always go as planned. But with the right preparation and education, you can stay in control and trust the process. Your breath and your body are powerful guides, and I’m here to support you as you welcome your baby with confidence and peace.

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 goal as your doula is to help and support you through your pregnancy and fearless journey to motherhood with care and compassion.  I'm dedicated to informing, guiding, empathizing, listening, and empowering you to birth the way that's right for YOU!  You are bringing forth new life, and it should be experienced in a caring, compassionate, and calming space.   I support all births including non-medicated, cesarean, water, home birth, birth center, medicated, and hospital. 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!

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! In addition, she took excellent care of mom and helped me navigate breastfeeding and night care. I can't say enough positive things about Paula - families are lucky to work with her.

Recent review

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!
