Kmiya was an amazing night nurse and made us feel at ease knowing she was taking care of our newborn. She is very personable and approachable to talk about any concerns we had about our baby’s sleep and we worked through ideas together if we needed to. We trusted her fully with her recommendations and wish we had her longer!

Peace! Birth, magnanimous as it is, is one moment that comes after months of mental and spiritual preparation. It is the intention, the mission, if you will, of Soulcology of Birth to provide more than childbirth education. I will journey alongside these burgeoning Mamas as a sister (and as I grow, auntie, Mama, GrandMother). I will help them unpack their family history, to heal, to break generational cycles of dysfunction. Soulcology of Birth is centered on the sanctity of created Life with a focus on growing Love.

La historia de mi emprendimiento comenzó con mi propia maternidad. A mis veintitantos tuve a mis hijas, y la gran diferencia fue el respaldo de mi familia: Mujeres que me sostuvieron y Hombres que me protegieron. Ese acompañamiento transformó mi experiencia y me enseñó que maternar no debería vivirse nunca en aislamiento. Años después, emigré. Como migrante, descubrí lo opuesto: la soledad de las familias hispanas que gestan y crían lejos de casa. Sin tribu, sin idioma común, en un sistema de salud eficiente pero impersonal. Esa realidad me llevó a un 'ajá' interior: Mi vocación era crear para otras lo que yo había recibido: Un NIDO de confianza, cuidado y resiliencia. Ofrezco programas que integran mi formación como doula, educadora perinatal y especialista en procesos de indagación personal. Lo que hace única esta propuesta es la capacidad de tender puentes: entre lo médico y lo humano, entre la cultura de origen y la de acogida, entre la soledad y la comunidad. Acompaño a las familias para que vivan la maternidad con confianza y resiliencia, y en ese proceso contribuyo a sembrar generaciones más empáticas y comunidades más cohesionadas.

Hello! My name is Jennifer and I’m a mother to 6 beautiful children. I’ve been a stay at home mom for almost 11 years. I’ve had the joy of nannying for several families alongside my own children, volunteering in various aspects of my children’s academics and sports, and also substituting at a preschool in Kingwood. I am first aid and cpr certified. The most fulfilling part of working in childcare is being a part of a child’s journey. Every story is unique, especially every child. It’s a privilege to be a part of that journey and something I continue to have incredible appreciation for. I look forward to helping families through this chapter of life!

Hello! My name is Kiara, and I'm an Occupational Therapist (OT), International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and Certified Educator of Infant Massage (CEIM). My professional interest in early childhood development, primitive reflexes, and infant feeding inspired me to pursue my IBCLC as well as specialized training in Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) and Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI). I am the Founder and lead clinician of WillOtree Baby PLLC in Houston, where I utilize a specialized perinatal care model that brings together occupational therapy, feeding therapy, and lactation consultation. Through this integrated approach, I aim to offer a holistic solution to common, interconnected challenges faced by new mothers and infants (e.g. pain, feeding difficulties, delayed milestones), with the goal of promoting shorter episodes of care, improved maternal-infant health outcomes, and reduced overall costs for families.
