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!

My name is Mignon Fields. I am a local doula here in Houston, Tx. I specialize specialize in birth and postpartum overnight services. I was always drawn to birth but after having my own child and hearing about doulas a few times I finally knew who I was. This is where my heart blooms with love. I flourish in service to others. I thrive in high stress scenarios and helping people through personal experience and the wisdom I have gained throughout my own process, prenatally and postpartum is my goal. I have attended thirteen births and assisted ten families during their postpartum season thus far. I am here for All no matter what your situation may be.

Hi my name is Annelise. I'm a new BEST certified childbirth doula in Houston. I became a doula because I believe that every single birthing person deserves to be heard, supported, and surrounded by love. My passion is offering empathy, advocacy, and unwavering care during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. My approach is rooted in spiritual practices, meditation, and holistic support. I prefer home births and birthing center births, working with you, a partner, and your midwife to create a calm and empowered birthing environment that honors your body’s wisdom. Beyond birth support, I also provide nourishing postpartum meal prep, crafting meals tailored to dietary restrictions and designed to promote healing and increase milk production. I aim to care for both body and spirit, ensuring you feel supported in every way during this sacred transition. I enjoy spirituality, meditation, music, field hockey, and cooking. Let’s create a birth and postpartum experience filled with love. I’d love to see if I'd be a good fit for your journey.

Hey y’all, my name is Francesca. I am a native Houstonian, born and raised in East Downtown. I am a 8-time super tia (aunt), Certified Lactation Counselor & ready to bee at your service. In 2016, I graduated from the University of Houston, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I attended The Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice (ALPP) conference in 2019, where I received my Certified Lactation Counselor license. Now, I am following my calling to lend a helping hand to all families. For the last 10 years, I have been employed at Texas Children’s Hospital, where I worked hand in hand with new and experienced mothers to reach their lactation goals. The expertise and knowledge gained from working at the hospital as well as my personal and fulfilling experience as a loving tia, has defined my path: empowering each family on their own special journey.

Peace! I am Briana Nicol Venters. I am a child of The Most High, a wife to the greatest man I know and a mother to a sweet and spicy baby boy. I have been sharing my labor of Love as a full circle birth worker both locally and internationally since 2018. Prior to Doula work, I spent numerous years providing child care & offering my gift as a certified stretch therapy instructor. When I am not serving birthing people and their families, you can find me reading, cooking, writing, roller skating and spending lots of quality time with my Loved ones. I enjoy nature and have a great appreciation for all things holistic and untampered with. My approach to Doula/birth work is to educate and serve. I am committed to advocating for and assisting birthing people and their villages by ensuring that my clients have the necessary tools to birth with confidence and the ability to advocate and make empowering educated decisions for themselves. It has been most rewarding to be involved in such intimate experiences and holding space for women while they are in some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. I strongly believe that the way we prepare ourselves determines our next steps. I have made it my mission to ensure that every birthing person and their families are fully prepared by being supported every step of the way throughout their prenatal, labor and postpartum journey. I know for a fact that I was created for this work and I look forward to continuing to share myself with the birthing community!

I am a Spirit Baby Medicine Woman, Psychic, Mentor, and a Energy Healer. I have sat with many women and people holding space for them on their pregnancies and relationship with pregnancy. Pregnancy is sacred. It is a process of birth and co-creation each time. Co-creating with your spirit baby, your partner, your children, grandparents, and beyond. Many systems were not created to support women, even more were not created inclusive of people of color. Throughout working in Maternal Health for some years, my desire for a family catapulted me into a deep journey with my spirit babies. A safe and nurturing pregnancy where your needs are listened to and respected is your birthright. My experience of working with spirit babies and their families comes with emotional and spiritual energy work that supports families through prenatal, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. My work is designed around supporting spirit babies and their families, and spirit babies desire to connect with their parents before, during and after birth. This helps you to learn more about your spirit baby and yourself in the process through the lense of your spirit baby who loves you unconditionally. Spirit babies choose their parents as their parents choose them and they can get pregnant even after choosing not to get pregnant, or having experienced multiple attempts at pregnancy and the experience not ending in a child. It's a beautiful process of learning with your spirit baby who is both guiding and being guided by you, your partner, and others the spirit baby has chosen to help support your pregnancy with them. This is the process even when you may not have met your partner yet. It's an incredibly intimate and vulnerable process even as pregnancy is already one, a spirit baby amplifies that as they are different from those that aren't, and the desire for connection and love with their parents comes quicker and before pregnancy. Those who are drawn to my work likely have a spirit baby connection, whether mom, dad, other family members or friends. Connecting with your spirit baby helps you learn more about the little one you're birthing and challenges that may come up, as well as how to prepare for their arrival in a way that feels good for you and them. Spirit babies are often thought to be only an unborn child but they're a sensitive and highly empathic child with gifts and sensitivities that are active well after birth and can be the reason many children don't take well to being birthed in certain environments, to certain foods, being around certain people or energy, or don't feel they're loved or seen. They aren't just babies, they are wise souls with mountains of wisdom they wish to share. A child is a spirit baby after birth and into adult life. Working with spirit babies is also restarting the process of loving the self, and intuition, and listening to one's self, in each moment. I look forward to supporting your spirit baby, you, and your family.
