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.

Hi mama! My name is McKenzie. While my official title is Birth and Postpartum Doula, I see myself more as an extra person in your village. We thrive in community, but as mothers? We flourish when supported by other women ("Two are better than one..." – Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). Outside of birth work, I am a wife, a mom of two young girls, and an avid crocheter. My own path to motherhood was a long journey marked by grief and disappointment— if you’ve ever been in that space, know that I see you. Since then, my passion has been teaching women about how their bodies work according to God’s design, navigating the unexpected, but most importantly, my passion is and always will be serving moms. Do you need 30 minutes to shower in silence? I’m there. Do you need someone to cook a hot, homemade meal so you can spend more time with your baby? I’ve got you. Do you need someone to decode medical jargon one minute and then immediately do hip squeezes and tell you how amazing you’re doing? I would love to. On the surface, I’m a doula who would love to help you through the journey of motherhood. But at my core? I’m just a mama who has been praying for the families who need a village to find me. I would be honored to serve yours.

Hi, I’m Melanie Powell—certified doula, childbirth educator, author of From Fear to First Cry, and the founder of both Little Flower Birth Services and the non-profit Under His Wings Collective. As a mother myself, I know firsthand that bringing a child into the world is one of the most profound, transformative journeys you will ever take. But I also know it can bring up deep questions, past fears, and medical anxieties. That is why my life’s work is dedicated to walking beside women and their partners, ensuring you never have to navigate the medical landscape alone. Through Little Flower Birth Services, my practice is rooted in three core pillars: Advocacy to help your partner step into their role as your protector, Sanctuary to guard your peace with a protective "Baby Bubble," and Autonomy to honor your God-given intuition through a trauma-informed framework. Whether I'm teaching evidence-based physiological birth classes, coaching partners in our signature advocacy workshops, or offering quiet, steadfast support in the delivery room, my goal is to transform your anxieties into your greatest strengths. Beyond my private practice, my heart for community led me to establish Under His Wings Collective—a non-profit initiative dedicated to expanding access to sliding-scale and free childbirth education, alongside trauma-informed virtual doula support (such as our Virtual Bloom Package) for Medicaid-eligible, low-income, and high-anxiety mothers who deserve dedicated care regardless of circumstance. When I’m not supporting families across the DFW Metroplex, leading virtual education cohorts, or advocating through the collective, you can usually find me baking something nourishing for loved ones or cherishing quiet moments with my daughter. You deserve to enter your birth room feeling strong, informed, and deeply supported. I would be honored to walk this sacred journey with you.

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.
