Howdy! My name is Aniya, and I am a certified faith-based doula and photographer! From a young age, I felt called to support families in birth, initially dreaming of becoming a labor and delivery nurse—until a home birth video shifted everything, revealing that my true path was midwifery. Rooted in my Christian faith, I began pursuing doula certification and seeking mentorship, knowing this work was both a calling and a ministry. I’m dedicated to assisting mothers and their families through the transformative experience of childbirth. I emphasize and provide emotional, physical, and informational support to ensure a positive birthing experience. My mission is to empower mothers, promote informed decision-making, and cultivate a nurturing environment that respects individual choices and preferences. Please reach out with any questions! I look forward to connecting! Aniya! (409)474-2244 communioncare@gmail.com

Anyia is amazing! While preparing for labor, she made multiple visits to my house and reached out continually to check in. She was quick to respond to text and phone calls and got to the hospital just after an hour after being admitted. From the moment labor began, she was such an incredible source of support, encouragement, and comfort. She was with me through approximately 14 hours of natural labor, helping me navigate contractions, offering encouragement, and reminding me that I was capable even during the hardest moments. When things didn’t go exactly as I had planned and I ultimately decided to get an epidural, she continued to support me without judgment and made sure I felt just as cared for. AND stayed with us for another 12 hours after getting the epidural. Although my birth experience didn’t look exactly how I had envisioned it, I have absolutely no regrets, and I feel so blessed that Anyia was part of our journey. Birth is unpredictable, and having someone by your side who is knowledgeable, compassionate, reassuring, and genuinely invested in your experience makes such a difference. I am so thankful for the role she played in bringing our sweet girl into the world. If you’re considering hiring a doula, I wholeheartedly recommend Anyia. You will be in such good hands!

I had the privilege of working with Sasha as my doula during my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. I cannot express enough gratitude for her exceptional support. From the very beginning, Sasha demonstrated a level of professionalism, compassion, and expertise that truly made a difference in my birthing experience. During my pregnancy, Sasha was a constant source of knowledge and reassurance. She took the time to understand my unique needs and concerns, providing me with evidence-based information and guidance that helped me make informed decisions. Her ability to listen attentively and offer non-judgmental support created a safe space for me to express my fears and anxieties. When it came time for the birth, Sasha's presence was invaluable. Her calm demeanor and unwavering support helped me confidently navigate the intense moments. She provided physical comfort measures, emotional encouragement, and continuous reassurance, ensuring I felt empowered and in control throughout the process. Sasha's expertise in various birthing techniques, such as positioning, proved incredibly helpful in promoting progress. But Sasha's support didn't end with the birth. During the postpartum period, she remained a pillar of strength and guidance. She offered practical assistance with newborn care and emotional well-being. Her genuine care and understanding made transitioning from two to three children smoother and less overwhelming. Overall, Sasha's dedication to her role as a doula is commendable. Her knowledge, professionalism, and unwavering support were instrumental in making my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience positive and empowering. I wholeheartedly recommend Sasha to any expectant mother seeking a compassionate and skilled doula who will go above and beyond to ensure a memorable and fulfilling journey into parenthood.
