LGBTQ+ Affirming Doulas in Houston, TX

I'm passionate about supporting diverse families in the transition that welcoming their little one brings. Deepening the relationship with your newborn requires you to invest a lot of your energy into nurturing their blossoming. My role is to walk beside you on this journey, and be one of those people in the village they speak of when they tell you what it takes to raise a child. I care deeply about the mental health and wellbeing especially in the postpartum period. I'm truly honored to hold space during this time for families. I believe love is what truly makes a family a family. I am LGBTQ+ and Latinx.

Hi, I’m Shakina Coston, a certified birth, postpartum, and end-of-life doula based in Houston, TX. I’m also a proud mother of three, and my own birth experiences are what inspired me to support other women on their journey. I provide compassionate, calming, and judgment-free support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I understand how important it is to feel safe, heard, and cared for during such a life-changing time. Having a doula for all three of my pregnancies showed me just how powerful the right support can be. My goal is to create a peaceful, empowering experience where you feel confident, informed, and never alone.

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.

I’m a faith-based doula with 5 years of experience supporting moms through one of the biggest moments of their lives. 🤎 I genuinely love what I do, I love babies, and I care deeply about making sure my clients feel supported, heard, comfortable, and cared for. I’m the type of doula who doesn’t mind going the extra mile. From helping you prepare for birth, supporting you during labor, to making sure you’re taken care of once baby arrives — I’m there. And yes, I’ll even prepare your first meal after birth because mama deserves to eat too! 🥹 My goal is simple: take care of you so you can focus on bonding with your baby. I want every mama I work with to feel like, “Girl, I’m SO glad I hired her!” Faith, compassion, hands-on support, and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do. If you’re looking for a doula who will truly pour into you and your family, I’d love to support you. ✨

Hello! My name is Angela and I grew up in Houston TX, in the land of bbq and “y’all”. Im a Latino woman born and raised in Houston. My father was born in Venezuela and mother, on the Alabama Coushatta reservation near Livingston. I grew up in a large family amongst 6 siblings who taught me how important it is to take into account a plurality of perspectives and experiences. I am trained as a birth and postpartum doula through Doula Trainings International and have a wealth of information I acquired through research, education, and life experience. I believe in the popular education model, and see that education doesn't follow hierarchical pathways; it always flows in both directions. I’m also a research nerd. I believe that Doula support helps lay the groundwork for a satisfying experience. As a Full Spectrum Doula, i see the pregnant person and their loved ones as the center around which care revolves. I operate as a pillar to the family and their relationship becomes a solid foundation you can rely on providing consistency, information, and a therapeutic presence as you all navigate physical and emotional tides, and as your experience unfolds.

My name is Laporcha Foster most people call me LaLa. I am from Houston, Texas and I am a mother to 4 beautiful souls (3 girls and 1 boy). I am a traveling birth/postpartum doula who is also an end of life doula (helping others transition over to the after life). I became a doula after realizing nursing school wasn’t for me. I wanted to be a L&D nurse then a Nurse Practitioner so I could deliver babies. One day I was talking to my spiritual coach who told me my ancestors told her I was a medicine healing lady, and my life purpose was to be a midwife. I never thought to be one even though I heard so many people talked about having midwives and doula when I was pregnant with my son. I decided to do some research and I fell in love with the results and became a certified trained birth/postpartum doula through Madriella Doula Network. Being other women and families support system is my top priority. Rather it’s in a home, birthing center, or hospital I’m there! I am now attending a midwifery program at Midwives College of Utah (MCU) and trusting the process of this new journey. I look forward to meeting with you and vibing off good and positive energy. Peace and blessings!
