**If you are unable to afford a doula, I offer low to no cost service every month to a limited amount of families. Let me be your personal hype woman. I am an Air Force Veteran turned Birth Worker. I became a doula because while in the military, I was displaced from having a support system. When I got pregnant, I had to give birth in a community that looked nothing like me. I was also wildly uninformed about the rates of maternal morbidity amongst black women. These coupled ideas made me feel really uneasy about my birthing experience. I wanted to make a difference after my experience and becoming a doula turned out to be my life's passion. I pride myself on being open-minded, spiritual, and will provide you with a calm reassuring presence during your pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum.

I believe every woman has the right to a safe and healthy pregnancy and birth experience. For over 15 years, I have been working with women, as they journey through what it takes to become pregnant, sustain pregnancy, care for a new life and grieve through pregnancy or infant loss. This is my passion! I am here to support, encourage, inform, teach and honor your wishes from fertility through pregnancy, birth and loss.

I am a doula and a yoga practitioner in Frisco and the Dallas-Forth Worth Metroplex, and I have a Masters of Arts in Physical Activity and Health from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany. I speak German and English. I have lived, studied and worked in three different countries and international life is my normal. I like to say that I was born in Canada, I grew up in Germany, and now, I am raising my own family in Frisco, Texas. Mothering With Grace is focused on empowering women to have a positive experience in pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond into motherhood. When a woman has agency, feels supported, can get what she needs (without being made to feel like a burden) and she is respected by the people accompanying her from pregnancy through to postpartum and beyond, she is much more likely to have a positive experience.

My name is Orion Clements, the forerunner of Clements Doula Services, and I’m a Madriella Certified Birth Doula serving the DFW area. I decided to become a doula early in 2024 after realizing how much I wanted a career in helping others during some of the most vulnerable times of their lives. I believe in a God that creates peace and order, and wanted to be someone who could embody that for others. Funny enough, shortly after deciding to pursue this career, I found out I was pregnant with my son! Going through that experience, along with training I think really shaped my own doula philosophy. To me, it doesn’t matter if you desire a medicated or natural birth, or even if things don’t go exactly as planned. What matters to me as your doula is if YOU feel empowered, educated, and as supported as possible during this experience. If that is what you’re seeking out of a doula, then I would love to come alongside you!

Daijza is knowledgeable, personable, and relatable. She is intuitive and knows when to get involved and when to give space and I love that most about her. Her ability to scale the scene and the entire pregnancy, anticipating any outcome and providing a anecdote before it even comes up. Proactive and equipped. Thank you Daijza

I am a mother of two, and after having my two I never knew the many different ways my birth could've been easier or more comfortable. Now as a Birth Doula, I am excited to give mothers and their partners that comfort, before and through child birth and after. It is a true blessing to help women and their families.

Hi there! I am Amie Ivy - Birth & Postpartum Doula. My journey into birth work started with the birth of my first son in 2012. I was fortunate to have been surrounded by amazing, supportive women from my own family to the Midwife, Doula, and Chiropractor that I chose. Even though I had to make some shifts in my birth plan, I felt confident in my birth experience because of the love and care they showed me. I have always had a desire to serve and support women. It is an honor to have the opportunity to empower and support them through their pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey.

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.

Hi, I’m Andrea Carter—founder of It Takes a Village, midwife, mother, and passionate birth advocate. Originally from Gary, Indiana, I made Dallas my home in 2015. Though I dreamed of becoming an OB/GYN as a child, it was my own powerful birth experiences that led me to step into the world of natural birth and begin my journey as a doula in 2016. ​Since then, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside over 160 families as a doula and supporting more than 300 families as a student midwife. I am a proud 2023 graduate of Southwest Technical College, and today I serve families as a staff midwife at Swiss Avenue Birth and Wellness Center, in addition to offering homebirth services throughout the DFW metroplex.​ ​ ​​ As a mother of four—each born naturally—I understand the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of birth firsthand. My mission is to educate and support families so they feel confident, heard, and empowered to make the choices that are right for them. I’ve attended a wide range of births, including VBACs, breech births, and twins, and I bring a calm, grounded presence to every birth space. My Philosophy of Birth I believe that birth is a sacred, physiological process—not something to be managed, but to be supported. Every birthing person deserves compassionate, respectful, and individualized care that centers their voice, values, and vision. I trust the innate wisdom of the body and believe that, with the right support and information, families can birth in power and peace—however that looks for them. Whether in a birth center or at home, I honor each family’s unique journey and hold space for their strength to unfold. At It Takes a Village, you’re not just receiving care—you’re gaining a trusted partner who honors your vision for birth and walks beside you every step of the way.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re “here.” ◡̈ My name is Holly, and I’m a full spectrum doula serving the Dallas–Fort Worth area 🤍 I’m currently pursuing certification with Birthing Advocacy and looking for my first clients! I owe my fascination with pregnancy and birth to my mom, who was always open about her birth experiences—both medicated and unmedicated. I’ve loved babies for as long as I can remember and naturally stepped into a caregiving role as the oldest of three. In college, I did research on improving maternal and infant birth outcomes, which sparked my interest in becoming a doula. I’m pro-LGBTQ+, pro-choice, anti-racist, and body neutral, so come exactly as you are! I strive to offer trauma-informed, personalized support for ALL. My work exists within systems that have long excluded and harmed marginalized communities, and I aim to use my privilege for good—advocating for equity, uplifting others, and amplifying their voices. Accompliceship is a lifelong practice, and I’m committed to showing up with compassion, humility, and a willingness to grow. If you’re in search of a doula and curious if we’d be a good match, I’d love to chat with you! 🕊️ Here are a few more facts about me: ❋ I have a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a certificate in Trauma-Informed Care from the University of North Texas. ❋ I’m engaged to my high school sweetheart, and we have two sweet boy kitties: Apollo and Spectre. ❋ I love baking for my loved ones! I hope to one day share homemade treats and nourishing foods with the families I support as well. ❋ I’m a Virgo sun, Libra moon, & Capricorn rising. Also an enneagram 6!
