Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Friendswood, TX

I am Chelsey Hernandez Whitcomb, CLD, HCHD. I graduated with my B.A. with Honors in History from Houston Baptist University in 2009 and taught school World History, AP World History, and AP Psychology for 12 years before leaving teaching to work from home in marketing. In March 2024, I realized how much I missed serving families, so I decided to work as a doula and childbirth educator full time. As an educator at heart, I believe continual education is the cornerstone to our growth as individuals and it is my hope to share my knowledge and experience with you during this special time. I offer personalized prenatal, birth, and postpartum support to women and their families. My goal is to give you and your family the support and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about the care you receive during your pregnancy and throughout the labor process. I completed my doula training with Shannon Stellhorn of A Sacred Journey Midwifery Services and Doula Training Program in Houston, Texas, in February 2018 and finished all certification requirements in October 2019. In April 2018, I completed a training on Integrating Acupressure Comfort Measures into Your Doula Practice for Pregnancy Care, Labor Support, and Postpartum Care, with Nicholas Olow, M.S., L.Ac. and in August 2019 I attended a Spinning Babies Workshop consisting of 14 hours taught by Rachel Shapiro, CPM, LM, SpBT, to be a Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educator. In February 2021, I also attended a virtual workshop with Adilah Yelton to offer Bengkung Belly Binding to my clients. I am proud to say that as of December 17, 2021, I am officially a trained Hypnobabies® Hypno-Doula after scoring a 100% on my Hypno-Doula Training and am able to assist mothers who have already taken a hypno-childbirth class such as Hypnobabies® or Hypnobirthing. My professional listing can also be found on the Hypnobabies® website under "Find a Hypno-Doula." Additionally, I am CPR certified for adults and infants. I hope by continuing my education in various aspects of birth and postpartum care that I will be able to better assist my clients during their pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. To learn more about me and the services that I offer, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Shalom! My name is ChayilYah Segulah and it means capable women of God and His hidden Treasure! My doula journey started 10 years ago when one of my sisters needed support during her birth journey. She didn't have any support and needed someone to advocate her needs, help her express her fears and to walk her through a new birth. I began studying ways that I could help and ways to answer the questions she didn't understand. My Philosophy Sisterhood~ Village~ Shalom (Peace) This is my philosophy! Birth is ordained and designed to be a normal, natural process that your body was perfectly and wonderfully made to experience. My desire as your birth sister is to support you in a way that allows and encourages you to achieve your goals and desires for birth. I would love to become a part of your village.
