Hiiiii ! I’m Helene Alvarez, the hands behind Abide Birth Services. I’m a certified christian doula and a woman of deep faith who sees birth as both sacred and powerful. Abide was created not just as a business, but as a ministry to serve, support, and walk alongside families during one of the most transformative seasons of life. My philosophy is rooted in SERVANTHOOD and PHYSIOLOGICAL BIRTH: to be present, prayerful, and prepared helping you feel seen, heard, and strengthened every step of the way. Whether we’re creating your birth plan, navigating labor together, or unpacking emotions during the postpartum season, I approach each moment with care, humility, and intention. I believe every woman deserves support that’s both evidence-based and heart-led, and every family deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect.
At Abide Birth Services, I offer personalized care that supports you through every stage of your journey—from pregnancy to postpartum. My services include in-depth prenatal visits where we discuss birth plans, comfort techniques, partner support, and newborn care. I provide 24/7 emotional and informational support from the time of hire through the fourth trimester. When labor begins, I offer continuous, in-person birth support, helping you feel calm, confident, and cared for throughout. After birth, I provide gentle postpartum visits to check on your recovery, offer breastfeeding or infant care support, and help you settle into this new season. Whether at home, in a hospital, or a birth center, I show up with presence, peace, and a heart to serve.
As a husband and father, I’m incredibly grateful for the support our doula provided! From the very beginning, she honored and prioritized our wishes. She approached it with confidence, care, and faith. Her heart for people and her desire to glorify the Lord showed through everything she did. My wife was able to have the birth experience she hoped and prayed for, and I believe a large part of that was due to the support of our doula.

Helene, a huge blessing to me and my family! From in person/virtual check ins, to watching my toddler while I shower, to aiding in my baby latch to my breast, she was there. She didn’t shy away from the challenge of supporting us through a VBAC, and her confidence helped strengthen ours! It was clear this wasn’t just a job for her— but an opportunity to serve and remind us that God was in the center of it all. We are so grateful for her!

Amazing doula!!! She goes above and beyond to make sure you feel supported through the entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She takes time to understand exactly what you want/need for your birth experience. She has such a servants heart in this field of work and it shows in all she does.
