Hi, I’m Precious, Founder of Precious Life Collective: Birth, Baby & Beyond I’m a proud boy mom, birth worker, and the heart behind Precious Life Collective. My journey into birth work began with the birth of my own son; a spontaneous, all-natural water birth at North Houston Birth Center. That life-changing experience awakened something deep in me—a calling to help other women feel just as powerful, safe, and supported as I did. Since giving birth, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside over 20 women; friends, first-time moms, and mentees who trusted me to support them through birth and postpartum. Whether it was being present during labor, creating birth plans, offering comfort through postpartum recovery, or assisting with newborn care and breastfeeding, I realized how deeply I’m meant to do this work. Through Precious Life Collective: Birth, Baby & Beyond, I offer full-spectrum doula support: from prenatal education and birth planning, to labor support, postpartum healing, and baby care guidance. My approach is nurturing, holistic, and rooted in real-life experience. I believe every mother deserves to feel seen, held, and empowered through every stage of this journey. This is more than a service; it’s a sisterhood. A safe, sacred space where your story matters—because your life is precious, and so is the new life you're bringing into the world.

I’m Riley, the doula behind Root and Vine. This work is my calling — rooted in a deep respect for the strength and sacrifice of women, the transformation of birth, and the sacredness of new life. I’m a birth and postpartum doula, trained through DONA, and support families across the DFW metroplex with compassion, evidence-based knowledge, calm presence, and a deep trust in the process of labor. I am an English teacher of seven years and my husband and I have one son. My path to birth doula work began with my own birth experience; having a doula during my pregnancy was so helpful to me and made me feel much more knowledgeable and in control of my birth. Unfortunately, the birth of my son did not go as planned for many reasons: my doula could not attend my birth, I preeclampsia complications, and my son was in a breech position. Birth is a transformation, but it can also come with trauma. My experience compelled me to become a doula to hopefully help other women have better birth experiences than I did. I’m also passionate about postpartum care; in the time after giving birth, I felt vulnerable and, although I had endured a major physical and emotional event, I was not often the focus or concern. Even amidst so much joy and love for my son, people quickly begin asking about the baby and forget to ask about the new parent. I want to be the doula that I wish I could have had! The role of postpartum doula is to mother the mother, to educate and encourage new parents, and ensure the new family is thriving together. My love of caregiving and my passion of supporting other mothers is combined in the role of postpartum doula.

I am a widowed mother of four children between the ages of 19 and 22 who were born within three years. My first birth was at age 35 with a female physician in rural Maine, who was previously a midwife. I also had a female prenatal and postpartum doula who helped me find my confidence as a new mother. My second birth was a mandatory cesarean for breech & transverse presentation of fraternal male twins at age 38. Although the male physician would not grant requested delayed cord clamping, I was permitted to take the placentas home to plant a tree in honor of the birth. My fourth child was born in my 40th year as a rapid fire VBAC at a freestanding birth center with a midwife and doula in attendance. I have served as a pre-partum and postpartum doula, and am an experienced night nanny with a high success rate with sleep training. I do not adhere to any particular philosophy, serving only to support parents and caregivers with strengthening their own parental instincts. It is my practice to mirror the customs of the household, however shabbily chic, or with the spices alphabetized in the cabinet:) Experienced with serving post partum after traumatic births.

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.

Inspired by my own reproductive journey, I feel called to do birth work in this phase of my life. I have the most wonderful five year old daughter and being her Mom is absolutely the best part of my life, however my journey to her did not come without its challenges. From struggling with pregnancy loss, to a pregnancy that required me to be on full bed rest for my entire third trimester, and ultimately delivering via c-section. I am well versed in needing supportive around the clock care. And most importantly I count that care as one of my biggest blessings. I believe that care is what allowed me to bring a beautiful baby to this world safely and transition to motherhood with confidence.

I have a strong passion for helping families achieve the birth they desire to have and I believe that education is pivotal. My ultimate goal is to help you feel empowered, to help you have a voice in the decision making process, and for you to feel peace with your birthing experience. I provide unbiased, non-judgemental support during pregnancy, birth, and the immediate post-partum period to families from all walks of life for this reason. I would be honored to serve you and your family during this time.

During the time, Ayanna was my doula, I was very thankful for her. She is very knowledgeable in her practice, and keeps a professional composure. She is trust worthy, and was a huge help during my last trimester (when I met Ayanna). I am grateful for her during pre-labor, during labor, and postpartum. I still buy her yoni herbs, which I enjoy. It really helps with soreness and inflammation, which is due to coitus. I love that she provides brochures full of information about each product she promotes. I trust her products, as they are holistic and natural. She does not compromise her ethics, nor her core values.

Hello, my name is Raven! As an entrepreneur, I am familiar with the importance of being passionate about one's work. In my case, my passion for birth work stems from personal experience as a wife and mother of two beautiful souls. The miraculous and empowering births I experienced sparked within me a desire to guide and support others on their own journeys through pregnancy and childbirth. However, my path to becoming a birth doula was not without obstacles. Before conceiving my oldest, I faced some difficult pregnancy losses. To help heal and cope with these losses, I turned to writing and expressed my feelings through a love letter or poem dedicated to my future rainbow baby. This experience not only brought me solace, but also deepened my understanding and empathy for other women facing similar struggles. It was this profound sense of empathy and the desire to support and empower women that ultimately inspired me to become a birth doula. With every client I work with, I am reminded of the importance of providing emotional, physical, and informational support during such a transformative time in a woman's life. My personal journey has fueled my passion and dedication to this work, and I am constantly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a meaningful and rewarding profession.

Absolutely Amazing! I received the Classically Beautiful Package and I couldn’t be more pleased with the services provided by Mrs. Kidd. She was patient, informative, and made me feel so at ease with the birthing process. She was ready and available whenever I called, and I really love the affirmations and the Aura she brought to each visit and the birth of my beautiful baby girl. When searching for a Doula, I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect, however, after being guided by Poetically Birthed (Mrs. Kidd), I for sure know I was in the right place during the right time. I could not be more happy! Thank you so much Poetically Birthed for caring for me and my baby. 💕

I met Kyndall by chance while shopping at an organic wellness shop and within a few moments into our conversation, I knew that when my husband and I decided to start having kids, she would be my doula. As soon-to-be first-time parents, we had a lot of questions, concerns, and even some fear surrounding the birthing process, but Kyndall’s calm presence, words of affirmation, deep knowledge and understanding, helped put us at ease. During my laboring process, Kyndall’s unwavering support and reassurance guided me throughout one of the most intense moments I ever experienced. Thanks to Kyndall, I felt heard, seen, confident, and empowered to deliver our baby girl into the world. From providing me with yoga poses and breathing exercises to help me with my labor and delivery, to countless check-ins to see how the new parents were doing postpartum, Kyndall has been and continues to be a light in our lives- four years and two beautiful babies later! Kyndall is the best doula with a heart of gold and we are endlessly grateful for her support and genuine care.
