Black Doulas in Houston, TX

My name is Jade, and I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. I am a mother, an advocate, and the heart behind Crowned Birth Roots. I chose this path because I believe every mother deserves to feel seen, heard, supported, and empowered throughout her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. My passion is rooted in advocacy and a genuine desire to make a difference in the lives of families. As I learned more about the maternal mortality and morbidity rates affecting mothers, I knew I wanted to be part of the change by providing compassionate, informed, and unwavering support.

Hi, I’m Anna, the heart behind Newborn Ease. I created Newborn Ease to provide expecting and new parents with calm, practical support during one of the biggest transitions of their lives. I believe preparing for and caring for a new baby shouldn’t leave parents feeling overwhelmed, judged, or like they have to figure everything out alone. My philosophy is simple: educate, support, and empower. Whether I’m helping a family prepare their home for baby, get organized, learn newborn-care basics, or simply feel more confident during those early days, my goal is to meet each family where they are with patience, compassion, and respect. Every family is different, and I believe support should feel personal, encouraging, and judgment-free. At Newborn Ease, it’s about more than preparing for baby—it’s about helping parents feel prepared, supported, and confident too. 🤍

Hi! I’m Taylor, a Postpartum Doula and with over 10 years of experience supporting newborns and postpartum families, along with over 13 years of professional childcare experience. I’m passionate about helping families feel supported, comfortable, and confident during the newborn stage. My approach is nurturing, dependable, and centered around each family’s individual needs. I have extensive experience with overnight newborn care, including feeding support, soothing, diapering, bottle and pump-part cleaning, baby laundry, and helping establish healthy routines. My goal is to provide attentive care for your baby while giving parents the opportunity to rest and feel supported during such an important transition.

After years of social justice work, community organizing, and healing facilitation, Tyne became a birth worker in 2023. She focuses on providing grounded, evidenced-based, love and support for families. Most important to me- is that you have the information to make your birth your own, and feel supported & loved while doing so. After she began working as a doula and seeing the disparities amongst mamas, she started providing my services on a sliding scale and mainly works with moms on medicaid through GALS. Tyne is trained through Doula Trainings International, and works with Giving Austin Labor Support (GALS) as an On-Call Doula for Austin hospitals. She also is training through BEST Doula Program for placenta preparation. Tyne is also a trained healing circle facilitator, worked with an indigenous midwifery school Ruruchay in Peru, and loves to support clients through the emotional journey of birth. In addition to birth work, Tyne graduated from Southern Methodist University with a degree in Human Rights, and finishing her masters in Community Organizing and Social Activism. She has worked in several non-profits for the past 6 years. Tyne has also been an actor, director, and performer for over 10 years. When not working with clients, you can find me at the library, finding good food, or at the park. Imani Birth Journeys- Your birth is your birth. And so it will be. Ase.

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

As a birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, newborn care specialist, and lactation support provider, my heart is to help mothers feel informed, supported, and cared for throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. Through BirthedbyFaith, I provide nurturing, individualized support that honors each family's unique needs, preferences, and values. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that birth is a significant life transition that deserves patience, compassion, education, and intentional care. I strive to empower mothers with evidence-informed information so they can make informed decisions and feel confident advocating for themselves. Whether a mother is planning a hospital birth, birth center birth, or home birth, my goal is to provide a calm, reassuring presence and continuous support while honoring her beliefs, birth preferences, and the importance of feeling safe, respected, and cared for. I believe every mother deserves to feel supported not only during birth but also throughout her recovery and transition into motherhood.

I am a full-spectrum doula supporting women through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the transitions that come with them, with a strong focus on what is often overlooked—the mother herself. Too often, care shifts quickly or remains surface-level, leaving women to navigate recovery, identity changes, and healing without steady support. My work is rooted in the belief that this season deserves intentional, grounded care that truly holds and supports you through the process. My approach is practical, hands-on, and centered on helping you move through this experience with greater stability, clarity, and support. I bring a background in maternal support, herbal wellness, womb-centered care, and restorative healing that supports the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of the whole person. I approach this work without judgment. I have walked through my own transitions, and I meet each client where they are with compassion, honesty, and care.
