Doula pricing depends on the type of support: birth doulas usually charge a flat package fee for labor support, while postpartum doulas typically charge by the hour for daytime or overnight care at home.

It's important to note that doula fees can vary significantly within the Houston area, with some highly experienced or specialized doulas charging higher rates. Additionally, some doulas offer package deals that may include prenatal visits, continuous labor support, and postpartum support, which can affect the overall cost.

Hi, my name is Katherine Ellis and I am a Birth Bootcamp certified birth and postpartum doula! Birth is a beautiful process that I believe is meant to be celebrated and embraced. I adore working with my moms and helping create an environment where they feel empowered & in charge of their pregnancy and labor. I believe education removes fear, and I love getting to walk alongside of my moms and families throughout pregnancy and labor answering questions, being an advocate, supporting them mentally, physically, emotionally, and being a place where they can feel comfortable enough to embrace the new chapter. I truly love what I do and would love to discuss any questions you may have about services I offer. Whether you’re a first time mom or an experienced mother who just wants a different experience, I would love to be here for you & to support you through such a milestone of life. Birth belongs to women—not doctors, not nurses, not doulas or OBs, and I’m here to help create a place where you can have the birth you dream of! Postpartum also has a special place in my heart. This time is all about rest, nourishment, and recovery. I am here to make sure that you are taken care of, your house is in order, and you and your little baby are bonding! I am happy to wash bottles, pump parts, help prepare meals and snacks, perform light housework, or just take care of your baby while you rest! It is completely up to you and your needs.

Hello, friends! I’m Sara-Rene, part time L&D registered nurse and birth doula. As a montrice doula, I am able to help parents labor at home for as long as possible while ensuring the safety of both mom and baby. I am clinically trained to assess baby’s heart rate, vital signs of laboring mom, and perform cervical exams as requested. I work with you and your partner to help ensure the most positive birth experience possible. It is my mission in life to help parents welcome their sweet babies while feeling empowered through labor and birth. Combining my labor nurse and doula experience, I have been a part of over 1,000 births! I have a special passion for VBAC moms as well since my first two children were born via cesarean followed by three successful, unmedicated vaginal deliveries. I help educate with both evidence based research and experience, we will review birth preferences, and I will provide both physical and emotional support during labor, birth, and postpartum.

Sara was EVERYTHING I needed. From the first visit, I knew she was a great fit for my family. She even did a 'big sister class' with my 6 year old. During our ongoing visits, she gave me strength & courage & information to make decisions. During labor, She spent hours applying pressure to my hips & talking me through every movement & contraction. She pushed me to keep going when I felt like quitting & was gentle with me when needed. I can't recommend her enough. I am so thankful she was my doula, she's worth her weight in gold and I truly believe she was made for this! Book her now, I promise you won't regret it!

Chelsea is an amazing and needed doula! Her soothing vibe and willingness to help on the spot are two of the many great qualities she possesses that made me cherish her help during my pregnancy through postpartum. Each session I walked away feeling more confident about my labor and ended up giving birth naturally using many techniques she taught us. Thank you Chelsea, I love you girl!
