Ratings and reviews
Cannot overstate how helpful it was to have ABC postpartum doulas to help overnight with our second born. Getting the extra sleep really helped me enjoy my postpartum experience rather than survive it! ABC has been super flexible and even with little notice would find someone to help me when I decided I wanted extra help on days we didn't initially schedule. Highly recommend!

5 stars for Vickey, our postpartum doula! We can’t recommend Vickey highly enough! She was our postpartum doula during the first weeks of our son’s life, and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made as new parents. Vickey quickly became more than our doula. She felt like family. She cared for our son with so much love, patience, and tenderness that it truly felt like she loved him as her own. Knowing he was in her hands gave us complete peace of mind. Beyond caring for our baby, she cared for us, too. She answered our endless questions without judgment, gave us confidence as first-time parents, and brought such a calming presence into our home every night. If you’re looking for a postpartum doula who is compassionate, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your family, Vickey is the absolute best. We will always be grateful for everything she did for us. We love her so much that we plan on keeping her within our family for life. She’s the only choice for us for any future children!
- Katherine Culotta
We had two postpartum doulas, Zoe came during the days and Stephanie was our night doula. Being first time parents Zoe was extremely helpful for us. She was full of great advice, recommendations, and patience. We are so grateful that we had Zoe during such a chaotic and tumultuous time in our lives. She provided a calm and steady presence that we were able to channel into our own parenting style. Stephanie was literally a life saver. She enabled my wife and I to get some much needed rest, knowing that our child was being cared for and in safe hands. She was also a huge resource in helping us learn how to get our baby to settle and sleep. Stephanie took care of my wife during the middle of the night feeds and pumps when she was basically a walking zombie. 10/10 would recommend Zoe, Stephanie, and Austin birth company to anyone that is considering a postpartum doula service.
- David Long
Annie Miller was our birth doula, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Our labor and delivery didn’t go exactly to plan, but Annie helped us feel informed and empowered to make decisions. She was also a giant advocate for us and our birth plan and helped us navigate what would have been a confusing and stressful hospital encounter. As the person giving birth, she was the best. She helped our nurse hold my legs and worked through my contractions with me. She even kept my husband calm and explained what was happening when things got scary and the nurses didn’t have time to tell him what was happening. I would highly recommend Annie Miller if you’re looking for a birth doula in Austin.

Vickey was a great support for us after having our second child. She provided night time support several times a week for the first month, was prompt, a good communicator, and took great care of our new baby - allowing us to rest easy!
- Colin McConnell
We had the opportunity to work with Zoe as our postpartum doula for 6 months. She was really incredible! As first time parents we relied a lot on her expertise when it came to sleep, feeding and reading baby’s cues. She was reassuring and supportive throughout the duration of our time together. She provided a lot of thoughtful insight but was never pushy, always following our lead and checking in to make sure we were on the same page. The company was flexible and easy to work with when it came to our work benefits and creating a schedule that worked for our family, we are grateful for ABC!
- Megan McKane
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our night nanny/doula Bridgette. She began working with our family when both of our children were just days old, providing overnight care during the newborn stage, and the support she gave us during that time was truly invaluable. Not only was she incredible with both babies, but she was also a huge help with breastfeeding—offering thoughtful guidance, helpful recommendations, and so much encouragement during those early weeks. She is calm, intuitive, and unbelievably capable. She always seemed to know exactly what to do, often before we even had to ask. Beyond being amazing with the babies, she kept everything tidy and organized, which made those exhausting newborn days so much easier. What speaks volumes is that we loved her so much that we never stopped working with her. She is still our babysitter today and now cares for our 4-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. Our children absolutely adore her, and so do we. The trust we have in her is immense—we feel completely comfortable leaving our kids in her care, even when we travel out of the country. As an added bonus, she is an incredible cook and has prepared some amazing meals for our family while always being mindful of our children’s dietary restrictions. She has become such a special part of our family, and we truly think the world of her. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their children.
- Sarah Hartl
My first few weeks postpartum would not be as great as it is without Vickey helping us overnight ! Vickey gave us multiple tips and helpful suggestions throughout the entire time, as first time parents this was super helpful. She paid close attention to our baby and would provide updates after each night on when the baby woke up, fed, and had a diaper change. Vickey was flexible to our preferred schedule when moving around days and timeframes which was very much appreciated. We trusted her so much with our baby that we took advantage of her help and went on a couple date nights! Last night was the final night of her help and she will truly be missed! Thank you Vickey!
- Bianca Sobel
Isabel was absolutely amazing! If you are looking for postpartum doula care look no further. She goes above and beyond helping around the house and is very sweet and nurturing. Our baby girl really enjoyed her time with her too. As first time parents she also gave us great recommendations. She is very reliable and trustworthy. Would highly recommend her to anyone.
- Kelsi Underwood
We hired Eliana for both of our births, and choosing her the second time was an easy decision. With our first baby, we were first-time parents hoping for an unmedicated birth, but we ultimately needed an induction. Eliana helped us understand our options and feel confident and at peace with that decision. We never felt pressured, only supported and informed. For our second birth, avoiding induction was very important to us. We followed her guidance throughout pregnancy and were able to avoid it. That meant so much to us. Both births were in a hospital setting, and she worked seamlessly with our nurses and doctors. She also supported my husband incredibly well. He was so grateful to have someone there who understood the birth process deeply and could advocate for our family while allowing him to simply be present with me. During labor, she reduced fear even in the scarier moments. Her calm, steady presence was grounding. After our first baby was born, we faced some feeding challenges, and she continued to be an amazing resource and support. It was also meaningful to work with a doula who shared our Christian faith. That alignment brought an added level of comfort and trust during such a vulnerable time. We are so grateful for Eliana and would absolutely hire her again.
- Amanda Myers
Austin Birth Company was truly a godsend. We were matched with Stephanie, who was such an incredible source of wisdom and support for my husband and me. She knows so much about newborns and postpartum life and I’m forever grateful to have had her guiding me through those early days of parenthood. When a family emergency meant we needed to extend our contract by a month and a half, Randi was so helpful in finding us the extra coverage we needed. While Stephanie remained our primary doula, we were also paired with other wonderful doulas who provided great care to our baby when our primary doula was unavailable.
- Glenda Garcia
Bridgette was our postpartum night doula for the first 8 weeks with our newborn, and I truly don’t know how we would have navigated those early weeks without her. She has such a calm, grounding presence that immediately put me at ease during a very vulnerable time, especially recovering from a C-section. She supported me with different breastfeeding positions and gently guided me through those early challenges with patience and encouragement. She didn’t just care for our baby, she cared for me too. She made sure I was hydrating, resting, and recovering, and even prepared the most amazing breakfasts before she left, which set the tone for my entire day. Because of her, I was able to get meaningful rest at night even while breastfeeding, which allowed me to confidently take on the day with my baby. She is warm, reliable, knowledgeable, and incredibly respectful of our parenting preferences. She always offered guidance without ever being pushy and truly supported whatever we wanted for our baby. Bridgette helped make our newborn phase feel calm, supported, and manageable. We are so grateful for her care and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any new family.
- Ritu Bhatia
We had a wonderful experience with Austin Birth Company and the postpartum care my newborn and I received. We had the joy of working with Bridgette as our postpartum doula. With her genuine joy and love for her work, she was a light for our family during the challenging transition of welcoming our 3rd child into the family. Her expertise, dependability, calm presence, and overall loveliness carried me through those first demanding months of newborn life. Everything she did for our family was done with the utmost care and attention to detail. We were truly able to better adjust and meet the needs of our growing family due to Bridgette's support. We are beyond grateful!
- Crystal Ortegon
We had Ellie as our birthing Doula. It was such a positive experience, we really enjoyed Ellie’s presence and all the support she provided at the hospital. She is so passionate about what she does and we feel very lucky that she was our Doula.
- Sarah A
Eliana was an extremely valuable and vital part of our pregnancy, labor & delivery, and postpartum experience. Her amazing wealth of knowledge, calm demeanor and sweet, understanding nature helped us adjust to parenthood. When elements had to pivot a few time, Ellie helped us navigate and trust the process. We can’t recommend or thank Eliana enough for her support and the impact she made on our birth story and experience!
- Georgette Hoang
Brila was our postpartum night nurse and she quickly became one of the highlights of my recovery journey. She was so warm and caring every night and always went above and beyond to make our newborn and home feel at ease. She valued taking care of our baby but also taking care of me! She left incredible notes each morning to help us better learn about our baby and how to best take care of her. She’s got such a natural talent as a caregiver and we’re already eager to hire her again!
- Katy Beightol
We had Ellie as our birth doula and it was such a great experience. We have birth in the hospital, Ellie met us there once I was in active labor and helped make sure I had everything I needed. Once it came time to push she was so proactive and hands on in putting me in different positions to optimize pushing. Highly recommend!
- Bianca Barrera
Awesome doula service! So responsive and professional. We had Melissa, Sarah, and Marissa for overnight doula care and really appreciated the support from each of them.
- Camille Buzbee
Bridgette was truly a lifesaver for our family during those early newborn weeks. From the first night, her calm and confident presence made us feel instantly comfortable handing over our son’s care. She has an incredible depth of knowledge about babies. She was actually the first to spot our little one’s dairy allergy, even before our pediatrician. That level of attentiveness and intuition is rare. Every morning, she left us long written notes full of insights, sleep observations, and helpful suggestions that made such a difference. She always left our kitchen and nursery spotless and even took the time to make us a homemade meal on one of her nights off, just for fun...she is also an amazing cook! Bridgette is exceptionally experienced, kind, thoughtful, and radiates positive energy. I trusted her completely. I recommend her wholeheartedly to any parent and we’ll be calling her again for baby number two (much earlier this time, and for longer!). She’s one of a kind!
- Ellie Wilson
I had a wonderful experience with ABC’s postpartum doula services. As a first time mom, I can’t imagine going through the newborn phase without the support, guidance and sleep they provided me. I had the pleasure of working with two amazing doulas - Vickey and Stephanie, who were both very professional, knowledgeable and caring. Not only did they take great care of my baby, but they took great care of me and offered so much advice and support through early breastfeeding struggles, introducing a bottle, diaper rashes and all the other daunting “firsts” of the newborn phase. I also felt very supported navigating my benefits and scheduling needs by Randi. Overall I would highly recommend ABC and will certainly use them again for my next baby.
- Alli Manfre
This review is for Bridgette, our night nurse who took fantastic care of our newborn between 2022 and 2023. While we didn't find her through Austin Birth Company, we consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have found her. Not only was she calm, attentive, and deeply experienced with newborn care, she's also an exceptional French cook! She had a wonderful way of putting both baby and parents at ease, helping us get much-needed rest during those early weeks. Her knowledge and intuition around infant sleep and feeding were invaluable, and we always felt our baby was in the best possible hands. She was also available for some day shifts, which include meal prep, and actually taught me how to make the most amazing coq au vin. Any family would count themselves lucky to work with Bridgette.
- Daniel Naughton
We just finished our contract with ABC and had a great experience working with them. It was so nice to have a one stop shop for all the pregnancy/newborn classes + a birth doula + postpartum support. The classes were small enough to create a safe space where I felt comfortable asking any and all questions that I could think of. I felt well educated going into birth and about as prepared as we could be for a newborn (you can’t really prepare anyone for the noises a newborn will make!$ For our birth, our planned doula was sick, but the team at ABC helped us to find a replacement at 4 AM when I went into labor. Kelsey was fantastic leading up to birth and Annie was great at she hospital! Annie helped to create calm space and to help me process and digest all of the things that were happening. Having a doula made the birth experience so much more calming. Lastly, for our postpartum support, ABC connected us with Grace who was an absolute rockstar. Grace started supporting us when our baby was just 3 days old and we are so so thankful for everything she helped us with. From fielding all my newborn questions to offering fantastic hands on support for breastfeeding, Grace always showed up 100%. Our transition into parenthood has been incredible thanks to everything Grace did for us. She was also great with our dog and kitties which took away a lot of stress!
- Christina McNelis
We hired Bridgette as a night nanny when our son was 4-10 months old. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat if we hadn’t moved out of state. He was a high-needs sleeper and she came to the rescue, patiently—and gently—sleep training him over the course of our six months together. He’s now 5 and still sleeps through literally anything! She’s also an incredible cook. Bridgette made delicious, nourishing, from-scratch meals for us, navigating my dietary restrictions (gf/df/egg-free) without batting an eye. Ultimately she went above and beyond in her role. She saw and supported me as I navigated that difficult season as a new mama with ongoing breastfeeding issues during a pandemic. We’ve had a handful of nannies over the years between our two kids and Bridgette was *by far* the best. Hiring her was one of the smartest decisions we made in those early days. I’m so grateful she was part of our journey.
- Christina Meisner
We had a postpartum doula again with Austin Birth Co. We used our same PP Doula, Bridgette, that we had with our first son Aug 2024 and now again Nov 2025. As always, Bridgette was absolutely wonderful. She’s such a joy to have and her bubbly personality is a breath of fresh air during postpartum. Don’t believe we will be having any more babies, but if we did we would 100% request Bridgette again. We love her so much!! And our boys do too!!
- Ashley Shaffer
This is a wonderful doula agency with fantastic doulas that are dedicated and work really hard for each family. I definitely recommend them to my friends and family!
- Sherri Rucker
We can't say enough good things about Bridgette and ABC. From day one, Bridgette has had our complete trust and her calm nature has been the energy we needed on this journey. She is patient, loving, confident, and dependable, and has been invaluable to our family. 10/10 would recommend her and ABC to anyone!
- Ondrea M.
Just a little recognition for the staff and our wonderful Doula Bridgette. She is in another league and took care of more than just our child, but also me when we were seriously out of our depth. 💖 We hope to have her again for round two if possible!! 🙏🤞
- Jennifer Anderson
Bridgette is truly one of a kind. As a former birth doula with Austin Birth Company, I don’t take lightly who I trust with newborns, especially my own child. I hold anyone caring for my daughter to an incredibly high standard, and Bridgette and her team met that standard with so much grace, care, and professionalism. After the adoption of my daughter, Bridgette’s support and advice meant more to me than I can put into words. She was steady, reassuring, and deeply compassionate during a really tender season for our family. Her guidance didn’t just help in the moment, it continued to shape our experience as parents. Because of Bridgette’s expertise, we were able to confidently sleep train our daughter at 6 months, and the difference it made for our entire household was huge. Having someone so knowledgeable to lean on made us feel empowered instead of overwhelmed. Bridgette truly leads with her heart. She shows up with integrity, reflection, and a genuine commitment to the families she supports. I would trust her again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for someone who is not only skilled, but deeply invested in the well-being of both babies and parents.
- Alexis Cook
I just want to stop for a second and give credit where it is due. Bridgette has been an absolute blessing! Without her, we honestly would've been lost through this process of being first-time parents. She's very educational and helped us get to the point to where we can confidently manage on our own. We appreciate her so much!
- Will
Eden supportive postpartum night doula and sleep consultant. She was calm, knowledgeable, and helpful during the early newborn weeks. Her sleep guidance was practical and personalized, and her support helped us feel more confident while getting much-needed rest. We would recommend Eden to families looking for postpartum and sleep support.
- Cassie Gotelli
We had Vickey as our night doula and would recommend her/use her again without reservation. She was very experienced and we never had to worry! No matter what state our baby was in when Vickey arrived she would tell us she's got it and to get some sleep. She gave us advice on feeding, sleeping, and dropping the swaddle. Our baby was always well fed, rested, and slept long stretches after nights with Vickey. We had a great experience!
- Kari Bloom
I can’t say enough good things about Eden! She was our postpartum overnight doula for 3 months after our son was born, and made the transition into new parenthood so much smoother than we could have ever expected. She was an incredible support to me as I was healing from birth and juggling hormone shifts, and also had an answer for every question we had about the baby, which really made me feel better and more informed about our newborn. She built our trust very quickly and we feel so lucky to have had her as a support! She also is a certified sleep consultant and gave us such good information regarding future routines to keep him on a good sleep track. 10/10- thank you ABC and Eden for helping make this next chapter of life so much easier for us and our baby♥️
- Lauren Shabino
The classes i took at ABC were so insightful as a first time parent preparing for childbirth and after. My partner also felt a lot more prepared to support me after attending the Partner Prep class. Kelsey was our birth doula and she was such a calm and reassuring presence during labor and delivery. When delivery didn’t go according to plan and i had to be separated from my babies, she was able to step in and take care of them and i wholly trusted her. We also used Zoe as our postpartum doula and she was instrumental in helping me get rest in my first month as a mom. She answered every random thought and question i had about this stage of motherhood. She was also helpful around the house on days where things were falling behind. I’d highlights recommend ABC to any expecting parents because the peace of mind with their support is something you cannot put a price on.
- Janelle St. John
We had a wonderful experience with Vickey and Kim. Vickey is like that sweetest Aunt who will genuinely care for your baby and Kim is immaculate at her work. They both are great professionals and amazing with the baby. Highly recommend them!
- A K
Kristine, the Lactation Consultant, is an absolute godsend. She is so knowledgeable, kind, and understanding with a very frank and honest approach that is a total breath of fresh air. I am a natural worrier and she helped put me at ease, as well as solving several latch problems and overall giving me peace of mind. In 2 sessions she truly worked miracles for me and my baby. Any good stretch of sleep I’ve had with my newborn is due to her. Cannot recommend enough!!
- Annie Bergeron Viswanathan
Joy is a rockstar, we couldn’t have navigated these early months without her support
- Zack Speer
Joy was an absolute god send during my postpartum journey - we literally could not have survived the first 4 months of our little one’s life without her! I got such precious sleep on the nights she was with us and our little one always came to me with a smile out of Joy’s arms. I couldn’t recommend her enough - she was amazing for my recovery, peace of mind, and she even kindly put up with our rambunctious pups :) Our family absolutely loved her!
- Christina Verzijl
How does anyone do postpartum without Austin Birth Company? Both Brila and Toni take such great care of my son while we get much needed uninterrupted sleep. I am able to sleep peacefully while they are here, as I know someone qualified and caring is watching over him. They do as I request while offering helpful suggestions along the way. Thank you!!
- Katie Barnhart
Our experience with ABC was top notch! The entire team was accommodating, flexible, and helped me navigate benefits and schedules while also making me feel comfortable as a first time mom. We were lucky to land two great doulas for day and night, Zoe and Kris. Zoe made the days seamless and gave me time back during the day to rest/take care of myself. Kris was a wealth of knowledge and true expert in her field as a lactation consultant. To have her a resource was incredible and made a huge difference to my postpartum journey and growth of our sweet baby boy!
- Leah Christensen
Kristine was a GAME-CHANGER for us. She has literally changed my entire postpartum experience already with her breastfeeding help. She was extremely encouraging, kind, and fun and had such helpful guidance that is saving us sleep and time. We are forever grateful to her after just one session. I can't imagine there is a better lactation consultant in Austin. Thank you Kristine 🙏
- Brianna Fischer
We hired Austin Birth Company for postpartum overnight care for our newborn and we will forever be grateful. Laura was a godsend. As a new parent, trusting someone with our 2 day old baby took a lot but after our first night I knew he was in wonderful hands. Not only did Laura take such great care of our baby but she also was looking out for me as well. She was a wealth of knowledge and reassurance and so fun to talk to while breastfeeding throughout the nights. If we decide to have another baby, she will be our first phone call when we find out we are pregnant! We love you, Laura! 🩵
- Katie Garten
Can’t say enough great things about our experience with this group. Alexis was our birth doula and she was so supportive, knowledgeable, calming throughout the entire process which is exactly what I needed as a first time mom, especially when it came to a birth plan and what I was comfortable with. Her communication was on point even at early hours of the morning as I was laboring at home before going to the hospital where she met us. She brought lights, music, and was such a great emotional and mental support for us as new parents. I was truly terrified of childbirth and just ended up having the best experience. Then for Postpartum we had Stephanie who was just a god send. She literally taught us everything and anything about caring for a newborn, as well as caring for a postpartum mom. She was so loving and caring towards our baby, while also was so clearly knowledgeable and supportive in every way possible. She was the only reason we got through those first 6 weeks postpartum while we had her, and we wish we could keep her forever!! Thank you so much to and to ABC for providing the best care during the most vulnerable time of my life.
- Stephanie Yin
Highly recommend Isabel! She was great with our daughter and was always looking for more ways to be helpful. As a bonus, our dog and cat loved her too!
- Kyle Hoskins
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Brila Petty (nighttime doula) and Corey Gusnowski (daytime doula) through Austin Birth Company, and we cannot say enough good things about them both! From day one, Brila and Corey were incredibly in tune with our family’s needs, always listening carefully and responding with calm, confident support. They brought such professionalism, compassion, and deep knowledge to every shift. It felt like they truly got us. They made thoughtful, informed decisions for our baby that gave us peace of mind and rest during a vulnerable and transformative time. Their attention to detail was outstanding. Both Brila and Corey kept excellent notes and were proactive in helping with baby care, feeding support, and even little household things that made a big difference. They were also amazing at communicating with us, which made everything feel seamless. We genuinely loved working with both of them and feel so grateful for their support. If you’re looking for doulas who are attuned, respectful, thoughtful, and truly exceptional at what they do, look no further. Thank you, Brila and Corey! ❤️
- Megan Violette
Isabel was our night doula and she was tremendously helpful, especially as we were new parents navigating postpartum for the first time. We would look forward to the nights Isabel would come over just so we can get some rest. It’s always tough to trust a new person to take care of your baby but Isabel was extremely professional and reassured us that she would take care of everything. As a parent and experienced doula, she was able to get our newborn to sleep/feed/burp (probably better than we were able to if I’m honest 😅).
- Ariel Jao
Austin Birth Co was wonderful from their birth doulas, lactation consultants, and night doulas. We had a great experience with everyone there they are all very they were consistently professional, highly responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Our night doulas Laura, Vickey, and Joy were especially amazing. They cared for our newborn with such skill and compassion, giving us restful nights and complete peace of mind. We also learned so much from them along the way. Would recommend for any of their services.
- Cheryl Kinoshita
Our postpartum doula Vickey was absolutey amazing! We had two doulas before she came in to help us and the quality of your experience really does depend on the doula you have working with you. I would definitely recommend searching the comments for good recommendations and request Vickey if she’s available. She shared all her baby wisdom. When baby slept, she helped me with dishes, laundry and keeping the house in order. Thank you Vickey!!
- Hannah Guillen
I would give more than 5 stars if they were available! I reached out to Austin Birth Company to get the help of a night doula for the first few weeks with our new born. We were blessed with Isable, that kindly helped us navigate this new chapter on our lives. Isabel not only took care of our new baby but also helped us understand her needs and to be prepared for the next chapter.
- Monica Cruz
Brila and Isabel who cared for me and my baby girl were absolutely wonderful. They were incredibly knowledgeable and patient, teaching me so much as a new mom while always making me feel comfortable and supported. Most importantly, they cared for my daughter with such attentiveness and love that I had complete peace of mind. Their guidance and knowledge gave me confidence, and I am so grateful for the invaluable care they provided.
- Katie Gawick
We had an amazing experience with Austin Birth Company, specifically Laura, Brila, and Zoe. Even as a second time mom, I learned so much, it expedited my healing, and allowed me to feel rested while transitioning into being a mom of two! In those early days postpartum, I am so grateful for Laura getting me through the thick of baby blues. She has so much expertise, was a constant calming presence, and I looked forward to our chats every evening before heading to bed. Brila was another calming presence in our home. She spent a night with us after we lost power during the storm giving me a much needed night of rest. Finally, day shifts with Zoe allowed some much needed time out of the house and she even advised me on postpartum healing using her expertise as a Yoga teacher.
- Diana Vammen
We had a wonderful experience with Brilla and Eden! As first-time parents, having their help during those early newborn weeks was truly invaluable. They were incredibly professional, kind, and knowledgeable, helping us with everything from soothing techniques to establishing healthy sleep habits for our baby. Each night, they arrived on time, provided detailed updates in the morning, and treated our little one with so much care and love. Thanks to their support, we were able to get some much-needed rest and feel more confident as new parents. Highly recommend this service to any family looking for trustworthy, compassionate overnight care!

From the very beginning, Brandee at Austin Birth Company made me feel completely supported and understood. Even though she wasn’t able to attend my birth personally, she matched me with the most incredible doula, Kelsey, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Brandee’s warmth, professionalism, and ability to create a team of like-minded, intuitive birth workers speaks volumes about the care you can expect from Austin Birth Company. I also had the privilege of working with Joni, the staff midwife at Austin Birth Company. I took her Prepared Childbirth class at 37 weeks, thinking my baby would arrive early...spoiler: she didn’t come until 42+2. Going into the class, I considered myself fairly educated about the birth process. But I quickly realized how little I truly knew, especially about the cascade of interventions that often lead women away from the birth experiences they want. Joni’s class pulled back the curtain on the systemic challenges birthing people face in the U.S.—from the declining maternal outcomes to the unsettling fact that hospital staff joke that "the people with birth plans are the ones who end up with C-sections." That narrative had me nervous going into it all, but Joni gave me the facts, context, and tools to advocate for myself when it mattered most. Her background as a former labor and delivery nurse, now practicing midwife, meant she brought both deep clinical insight and a holistic, grounded perspective. During the final weeks of pregnancy, when my OB practice was increasingly pressuring me to induce, Joni helped me walk through every decision with clarity and confidence. She never pushed an agenda, she simply gave me the truth, space to process it, and full support in trusting my body. When labor finally began, Kelsey was the steady, grounding presence I needed. She spoke with me on the phone as things intensified and then joined me in person during the most active labor—first at home, and later at the hospital. I’m someone who really doesn’t feel comfortable in a hospital setting, and the staff there made me feel anything but supported, but Kelsey helped me stay present in my body and focused on my breath, not their expectations. There were several moments when I truly doubted whether I could follow through with the birth I had envisioned—no IV, no epidural, and limited fetal monitoring—but with Kelsey’s unwavering support, I did it. I arrived at the hospital 10 cm dilated, ready to push, and delivered my healthy baby girl almost within the hour. I’m endlessly grateful to Brandee, Joni, and Kelsey for helping me have the empowered, unmedicated birth I hoped for. If you’re considering working with Austin Birth Company—do it. Their care is thoughtful, their team is exceptional, and their support can change the trajectory of your entire birth experience.

My review for Stephanie Jackson is long overdue! She provided postpartum doula services for my family for the better part of 6 months in 2023 including 6wk when I was solo parenting. She has such a nurturing, holistic presence that I really connected with. I truly trusted her with my baby and therefore was able to sleep at night. She was very supportive of my passion to breastfeed and pump for my baby. It was a much different experience than my first baby/different doula service. We miss her! Thank you, Stephanie!

We had a wonderful experience with ABC, and working with Kelsey as our doula made it truly exceptional. From the start, ABC was professional, responsive, and supportive—but it was Kelsey who really made the difference during our labor and delivery journey. Together with Kelsey, we created a birth plan that reflected our hopes for the experience—and thanks to her support and guidance, we were actually able to stick to it. As the husband, I was especially grateful for her steady and calming presence amidst the constantly changing hospital staff. Kelsey was the one consistent support person we could count on, and her knowledge, patience, and guidance helped us feel confident in every decision we made. She stayed by my wife's side through the night. She helped us navigate all the suggestions and interventions from the medical team with clarity and confidence—we truly don’t regret a single decision we made with her guidance. I could see how much comfort she brought to my wife—and how much peace of mind she gave me, too. Looking back, I honestly can’t imagine going through it without her. We’re beyond thankful for her and for the incredible support we received through ABC. If you're looking for a birth team that truly cares, you’re in the right place.

We loved our experience with Austin Birth Company! We had both a birth doula (Alexis) & post partum nighttime doula (Joy) who helped us prepare and adjust to life with our new little one. We are so happy with our experiences with both Joy & Alexis and could not recommend either of them more!! Birth experience - Alexis was amazing! We opted for a medicated birth and Alexis talked me through the entire thing well before it was birth day. She was extremely knowledgeable about my options. When my water broke at 1am, Alexis met us at the hospital immediately & helped set the mood of the room with essential oils, quotes & music as well as guided me through different exercises to get my labor going. She was also there to reassure me and cheer me on through the entire process when my anxiety crept in. Having someone in our hospital room who was knowledgeable about what was happening and keep us in a positive mindset was so invaluable for us! I loved my birth experience & no doubt have Alexis to thank for that. I originally wasn’t sure if I should hire a doula for my medicated hospital birth but now I cannot stop recommending to everyone! Nighttime Doula - Joy helped us 3 times a week for the first 4 weeks after our baby’s arrival. The extra hours of sleep with her reliable hands helped us ease into parenthood during a very overwhelming transition. She taught us her expert swaddling technique & our dogs were equally obsessed with her. She also was super vested in how our little one was adjusting and so incredibly understanding when we had to adjust a day due to an ER visit - she shared lots of great tips & checked in on our little one after her doctor appointments. We’re going to miss our nights with Joy but could not be more grateful to have had her help!! She is the absolute best!

We chose Austin Birth Company for our night doula out of other competitors and it was an impressive experience from start to finish. As soon as I inquired, I was called back by Brandee. When I needed to change the hours/days, Constance was so helpful, The entire admin team was top notch and I highly recommend! Now on to our doula, Joy. Joy is the absolute best, and exceeded our expectations. It's hard to put into words how awesome she is. On her first night, I had an unexpected readmission to the hospital, and my husband was home alone with the baby, and she came in and immediately helped him. He said in that moment, he knew she would be wonderful! Joy was great with our son, and we always looked forward to the days she came! She gave us so much advice, and product recommendations, and we appreciate her so much. I don't know how we would have survived without her in those early days. It was a savior for our marriage as getting full nights of sleep is so important. I highly recommend requesting Joy if she is available!

We used Austin Birth Company for both our first baby and again for our second baby. Brandee was an amazing birth doula who coached us through two natural births. She provided the guidance we needed and helped us make evidence based decisions when things felt overwhelming. For our second baby we used ABC for extended postpartum support. Jessica was everything we could ask for in a postpartum doula. She helped us smoothly transition to being family of four and took care to understand our family's needs and routine. Jessica provided practical knowledge, detailed notes recapping each night, and went the extra mile with little things too like washing baby bottles, bringing Mom water, and folding laundry. I felt confident each night that our baby was being loved and taken care of and we would wake up well rested.
- Charles Erika
Love my experience so far! Communication is immediate and very helpful. I got help the next week after inquiring (post partum nanny support) which was amazing because I was already burnt out. Constance worked over the weekend to figure out how she could configure support for me with available doulas. Taylor and Berlin have been amazing! I was so nervous to bring in a stranger to help but they clearly love babies as I’m sure all of ABC’s doula’s do. I whole heartedly reccomend!
- Emily
We used Austin Birth Company for both a birth doula as well as postpartum doulas after they were recommended by a friend. It was truly such a positive experience - both were worth truly every penny (and honestly more). Our birth doula was phenomenal - she radiated calm and warm energy. Her coaching and the conversations pre-birth made my husband and I feel prepared pre-delivery. Her support during labor (with many texts/calls) and delivery helped make the experience so positive and magical (I had a lot of trepidation before hand). I also think we owe some of our very smooth delivery process to our doulas coaching as I was able to labor at home for longer as well as she was there at every step of the process preparing me for what is coming next and any decisions I needed to make. Our two postpartum doulas who came at night were absolutely god sends. They were so helpful in giving tips on newborn care, breastfeeding, and sleep as well as truly made those first few weeks so much better. They were an amazing support system and truly cared for and loved on our little one. As new parents, having them also really helped alleviate new/first parent anxiety, and allowed us to get significantly more rest (which also helped us be better parents during the day!) knowing our little one was in good hands at night. As an added (and unexpected) bonus, I also felt so cared for and seen by the doulas as I recovered from delivery and figured out breastfeeding. The transition to parenthood is such a major one and truly having the support of the doulas at Austin Birth Company made that transition incredibly special and positive.
- Katie Michel
We had a wonderful we experience with Eden as our night doula through ABC. She handled our newborn twins like a pro and taught us some great strategies for life with twins. I don't know how we'd have survived those first weeks without her. If you're having twins get a night doula!! You won't regret it. And make sure it's Eden if she's available!!
- Hannah Asaff
I'm so incredibly grateful for the crew at ABC. They helped me with doula services, night nurse services, breastfeeding classes and lactation consultations. It was my first experience having a baby, and they absolutely set me up for success and made me feel supported EVERY step of the way! I cannot imagine going through this process without them - truly I was able to make knowledgeable decisions every step of the way, and I had someone in my corner cheering me on/supporting me/advocating for me at ever step. I plan to have another kiddo in the future and I will ABSOLUTELY be calling ABC to get help again. THANK YOU ABC - my little boy and my partner and I are so so grateful for everything you've done for us!
- Erica Mims
I didn’t think I’d need a doula so I wasn’t even planning to get one, but because I was committed to an unmedicated birth my midwife convinced me to talk to some. She recommended a few places, including Austin Birth Company, and I’m so glad she did because as it turned out, I definitely needed a doula. I landed on Joni at ABC. When I met with Joni for the first time, I could sense how great of a human being she is. I was amazed at how knowledgeable and passionate she was about physiological birth. Having Joni present during my birth was pivotal in the success of having my baby with no epidural. Since day one she was always just a text or call away. When I got nervous about labor, she was there to reassure me. From the minute I got to the hospital until two hours after my baby was born (a total of more than 12 hours) she was with me, encouraging me and holding my hand. There were times I wanted to give up, but her coaching helped me to keep on going. I’m positive I could not have done it without her. For anyone who wants an unmedicated birth or birth with no epidural, or even a birth with epidural, you will never regret hiring Joni! I can’t recommend her enough.
- Jessica Long
ABC Dream Team: Alexis, Joni & Kelsey. *Review from a Dad* I knew we had the perfect team. Alexis, our doula, was there for anything and everything we needed throughout pregnancy, and numerous birth plan revisions. Joni & Kelsey were the home birth champions. After a number of home visits, the personal relationship we built was just the kind of birthing assistance we wanted. I could write a TON about how this birthing team made the absolute best out of our experience. Just know that momma and babe will be in the best of hands when you are apart of the ABC family. ***Highly recommend taking Joni’s birth class. We learned so so much, and that was what ultimately opened our eyes to the decision of a home birth. What might sound a little unorthodox today, might not tomorrow when you receive proper education from Joni’s class. To other Dads/Future Dads.. I can’t recommend ABC enough, you’ll understand why when you meet the team.
- Josh Bleess
Austin Birth Company, and specifically our postpartum Doula, Joy, completely transformed my first postpartum experience. Joy was so helpful and caring for me and my little boy for the six week period after my delivery. She was so gentle and caring with my son and a wealth of knowledge and advice/reassurance for me. She was always early for every scheduled visit and I felt completely at peace and she was taking care of our son overnight. I can’t recommend her and Austin birth Company. Truly made my postpartum experience so wonderful! Absolutely 10/10 recommend!!! Thank you so much Joy!
- Elaine Houston
I wish I could give 10 stars to the agency. I know I owe my smooth PP experience to ABC for supporting me during birth and post partum. Joni and Amanda empowered me and protected me during the birthing experience and I had the most epic and magical delivery experience. My night doula Claire is a literal angel and I could not have gotten through the first month without her support. She's warm, kind, and brings a sense of zen into our home which, is exactly what we needed in those early days. Claire is very knowledgeable and helped with breastfeeding concerns and helped me get much needed rest. I highly, highly recommend ABC for all your birthing and PP needs.
- Darya Kraynaya
We had such a wonderful experience with ABC. Everyone was very accommodating and flexible leading up to the birth - helping me navigate benefits and schedules. Our baby arrived a couple weeks ahead of due date, and Constance quickly rejiggered our schedule and coverage. We were supported by such an amazing group of women. Our main night doula, Stephanie, was there with me during the first few weeks and I can confidently say that I would not have been able to get through some of those darkest times without here. She was supportive and caring - sharing her wisdom in the dark, helping me navigate emotional challenges early on, and building my confidence as a first time mom. I will forever be grateful to her. She was very much like my fairy godmother who had seen it all. Having another woman to help take on diaper changes, burp and rock baby to sleep, bring snacks and water, teach you your baby’s cues, and care for YOU in the night helps you focus on feeding your baby and getting extra minutes of deeper sleep. We were also supported by Marissa, Laura, and Raquel. I loved having multiple women to provide guidance in different ways - I felt like each were perfect at the exact times they were with us. Marissa guided us with her steady calmness. She had a quiet presence that washed away my anxiety when she arrived. It was so relieving. Laura was knowledgeable in all things sleep and had experience raising multiple kids. Raquel was our day time post partum doula and she taught me tips and tricks for caring for baby - from bathing, play time, carriers, cradle cap, you name it. She was my companion during the day when I felt isolated, a bit lost, and tired. She helped instill confidence in my abilities to care for baby. Thank you ABC for pairing me with such wonderful women who made the transition into motherhood one to remember. Having support is the best thing you can gift yourself during this time and ABC is the organization to find the best.
- Melissa Nezamzadeh
We were so happy with the postpartum doula support. Our family got off on the right foot thanks to their amazing team members. We absolutely recommend asking for Kimberly Collins and Stephanie Jackson.
- Tori Vogel
I had the best experience at ABC! My doula, Alexis, was amazing! I highly recommend this company. I just had my first baby and having a doula made a world of difference. If you’re thinking about whether or not you should get a doula 100% recommend!
- Catherine Vanderloo
We had the pleasure of working with Claire S. for overnight care when our daughter was 6 weeks old. We had previously worked with Brandee, the owner, and had high standards for postpartum care and Claire did not disappoint! She was warm, attentive and knowledgable during her nights with our daughter, working with us to provide the type of care that made us feel at ease with her straight away. We were so happy with both of our experiences with ABC, *almost* makes me believe I could have a third child, almost.
- Brina Montgomery
Jessica was amazing! Always had a great attitude and did a wonderful job with our little girl. Highly recommended!
- Dave Rogenmoser
I cannot speak highly enough of ABC as a company; from our initial call, to scheduling and pairing with a night doula - everything went seamlessly!! We were lucky enough to be paired with Stephanie, and felt SO lucky to have her in our home. Stephanie provided incredible evening/nighttime support to our family during the postpartum period. As parents welcoming our third child into the world, we knew we needed extra help balancing the needs of our newborn with those of our older children. Stephanie went above and beyond to ensure that not only was our newborn well cared for, but that I, as a recovering mother, received the support and rest I desperately needed. Stephanie's caring nature shone through in every interaction. She took the time to check in on my physical and mental well-being, offering invaluable advice and reassurance. Her expertise in postpartum care was evident. What truly set Stephanie apart was her unwavering support of our family's goals and preferences. She respected our decisions while offering valuable insights and suggestions when she felt it would benefit our newborn. If you're in need of postpartum support, look no further than Stephanie. Her presence in our home was calming and reassuring, and I cannot thank her enough for the peace of mind she provided during such a demanding time. Thank you Stephanie, and the entire ABC team!!
- Nicole Marburger
I would highly recommend ABC for postpartum doula care! Bethany was our night doula for 6 weeks and she was incredible. I did not have help after my first pregnancy and the difference it made with my second was honestly life changing. I was able to heal and enjoy my son’s first weeks of life instead of fight through sleepless days and nights. Bethany was kind, caring, knowledgeable and loving to our boy. We can’t thank ABC enough for the service they provided for our family.
- Madison Monsson
We had such a wonderful experience with ABC postpartum care. Brandee was wonderful to work with, when originally learning about what services ABC offered as well as scheduling our support. We worked with Stephanie and Brila for our postpartum overnight care. This was our first child, so coming home from the hospital and having someone with a wealth of experience and knowledge at the house the first night was magical. Stephanie and Brila provided guidance and were never pushy with suggestions. They check in on both our little one as well as mom and dad to make sure that we were all adapting over the 6 weeks that we used ABC. I still hear from Stephanie and Brila checking in on how our little one is progressing, and am definitely thankful towards them for everything. I would recommend ABC to anyone who is looking for doula support, and have a couple of friends who also praise ABC for their help. If we have another child, we do plan on using ABC again. Can't speak highly enough about our experience.
- Andrea Engel
Taylor was our dula for my first born son and I could not recommend her more. She was so sweet and gracious with our son and made me feel so comfortable as a first time mom. We’d feel so lucky to have her again for future children.
- Lauren Biegler
I had the BEST experience with Austin Birth Company and our post partum doula Taylor Lewis! I found out a couple weeks before giving birth that my husbands company would cover post partum doula services. They were able to get me assigned a doula with such late notice and even had one come the day I got home from the hospital even though I was two weeks early! They are very flexible and will work with you to get whatever schedule you need. Our doula, Taylor, is the sweetest soul and I fully trusted her with my brand new baby - so much so that I slept all night with no worries. She was always on time and communicative and most importantly my baby loved her. If you are trying to decide which company to use, you really can’t go wrong with this one.
- Leah Meyer
We had an incredible experience with Austin Birth Company! Eliana was so helpful during delivery and through postpartum care. She clearly cared about me and my baby and we are so grateful for her support!
- Victoria Young
We had four weeks of daytime and nighttime doula support through ABC. Our day doula was Eden, and our night doula was Kim. We can't speak highly enough of either of them! Eden was super knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We hit it off with her right away, and felt super comfortable with her around our baby. Over the course of the four weeks with Eden we gained so much knowledge and useful tips that have proven to be extremely helpful as we progress with our son! Our night doula Kim was also incredible. She was so sweet, nice, and caring. She was wonderful around our son and took great care of him each night she was with him. The first time she arrived she even brought with her a HUGE gift basket with all sorts of things for my wife to aid in her recovery. It was absolutely incredible. She even made us breakfast one morning! Both Eden and Kim were so awesome to work with, and we were sad when our time with them ended, and absolutely plan to stay in touch with both long after! We cannot recommend them and ABC highly enough.
- Brian Ossip
Austin Birth Company did a fantastic job of matching us with Doulas. Kimberly was extremely helpful and appreciated for her expertise. She consistently went out of her way to help a pair of brand new parents. She made us feel comfortable and even after our contract is over with her she's still been a great resource of advice and help. Strongly recommend her services!
- Samuel Gold
It was so great having Isabel help our family for the last few weeks! We’re first time parents and having the extra help overnight allowed us to get some much needed rest without having to worry. She is punctual and our son always seems so at ease with her.
- Mariko S
I cannot speak highly enough of Austin Birth Company, they were my lifeline when I really needed it. I was overwhelmed and extremely sleep deprived as a new mom. Not only did they send out very qualified doulas, but Constance and Brandee provided 5-star concierge level customer service. Kimberley and Tori exceeded my expectations as doulas. I was impressed with how knowledgeable they were- they even taught me things about my own daughter! Kimberley went above and beyond by contributing to my daughter's development by interacting with her with a bunch of activities. Tori gave me some great tips that helped me get my little one into a rhythm. I feel extremely grateful that I found Austin Birth Company. I will be using them again if I have any other children.
- Ivana
We had the most amazing experience with ABC, and specifically our postpartum doula Joy! She was just the best - so caring, did a fantastic job looking after me (mom) and baby. Was great about learning the baby’s schedule, handled the late night feeds and enabled mom to get good sleep throughout the night. Helped us transition from hospital to home as smoothly as possible. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, so grateful for all Joy did for our family! Highly recommend, and ask for Joy!
- Samantha Papadakis
From the moment we met Kala, I knew she was more than just a doula; she was a partner in our birthing journey. Her patience and dedication to answering every question, no matter how small, ensured I entered labor feeling informed and empowered. Her vast knowledge of pregnancy and birth instilled a sense of security. During labor, she was a constant, calming presence. As contractions surged, her hands offered steadying pressure, her voice whispered words of encouragement, and her calm demeanor grounded us both. Kala was an invaluable source for comfort and pain management techniques. Her guidance through breathing exercises, positioning suggestions, and counter-pressure massages significantly lessened the intensity of labor, creating a more manageable experience. She also did all the extra things (set up lights, aromatherapy, brought and helped give me snacks and beverages, and stayed with us throughout the entirety of labor, delivery, and hours afterwards). But Kala's support wasn't limited to labor. Her availability throughout the pregnancy – be it prenatal appointments, texts, postpartum check-ins etc. – demonstrated her genuine commitment to my well-being. She navigated any concerns with ease, advocated for our wishes, and ensured we felt heard and supported every step of the way. Looking back, our birthing experience wouldn't have been the same without Kala. Her expertise, unwavering support, and unwavering presence transformed childbirth from a daunting unknown into a positive, empowering journey. If you're seeking a doula who goes above and beyond, who combines knowledge with unlimited support, then look no further than Kala. She is, without a doubt, the doula extraordinaire, and I will definitely choose her again for baby #2!
- Shawdee Monroe
I am SOOOOOO beyond happy that I hired a doula for my first birth. For anyone on the fence about doing so, just do it- it makes a world of difference. I was also beyond happy that I came across ABC and was paired with the incredible, magical human that is Joni Edelman - There are not enough words to describe how amazing my experience was with having her by my side, so what I am about to say truly pales in comparison to the reality of her work - Joni is not only knowledgeable as being someone who was a past labor and delivery nurse, but at her core, she is strength and compassion personified. The woman oozes with confidence in her birth work, and in doing so, made me feel at ease in navigating the storms that came my way through my pregnancy/ labor. I don't think my husband would have survived my 44 hour labor without Joni being at his side and helping explain things as they came up - Despite it being a tumultuous, crazy journey, I can only speak of my pregnancy and birth from a positive place because I had someone by my side helping me advocate for myself and ensuring that I always felt safe and taken care of. Also, special shoutout to Amanda Vasquez, my back-up doula and Joni's partner in crime, who then became my amazing pre and postnatal massage therapist - Both women deserve all the accolades and I am insanely grateful that they came into my life during this important phase/ transition.
- Emily Zercher
I had a home birth after cesarean on 2/2/2024 - 2/3/2024. My doula team and midwife team made my dream home birth a reality. The prenatal visits with Doula Joni were informative as well as entertaining. Joni even gave me two sitz bath concoctions. Constance and Brandi did more of the administrative work and omg it was so seamless and painless working with them. Using the Austin Birth Company felt like concierge health service that I would get in California. Amanda attended my actual birth and I happily found out that she is a masseuse. Her hands are heavenly. She was also very strong and proactive during my 9 hours of active labor. She massaged my husband. Convinced him to take breaks, arranged my room for egress, brought all types of birthing aids like light therapy and adama therapy and massage oils. Kept my bath water warm while I labored. Kept me hydrated and fed. Plus she had an aura about her that’s mystical. This lady was sumo squatting in a trance like state during my labor to be face to face with me to anticipate my needs for water, food, massage, rest or breathing

We couldn't have imagined our labor without Kelsey!! Same for the tens unit helped me get through the contractions before the epidural kicked in. I don't know what I would've done without BOTH of them! I didn't know what a huge difference it would make. Kelsey has great energy and is easy to be around! The meetings before labor are very thorough and we learned so much that we had no clue as first time parents. She showed up and was there before we even asked her to be. She stayed by my side the entire night pulling a fun all nighter. The hormones and medications were causing me to shake all night and Kelsey stayed attentive by my side, putting her hand on me to apply pressure to help alleviate the shaking... all night and kept me calm. She would also make sure to rotate me side to side since I had the epidural. This allowed me to get rest as well as my husband which was a HUGE help to us. This also took a lot of pressure off my husband who didn't think we needed a doula but was SO GLAD to have one. If I was anxious or concerned, she would ease my fears reassuring me everything was normal and fine. We are so grateful to have had Kelsey as our doula and highly recommend if you are wondering if you need a doula or on the fence. The support, help and peace of mind are priceless at such a crucial time.
- Jana Lacey M
As I prepared to have my first child, I heard about this company from another new mom who had worked with them. I am very grateful for her recommendation! From preparing for labor itself but also self care afterwards, my husband and I felt heard, respected, and cared for by both doulas we worked with. I had a positive birth experience that would not have been possible without the help of my wonderful birth doula, Alexis. Alexis did a great job hearing our concerns and helping us set ourselves up for success. She has a vast amount of experience, and we were fortunate to have her advocacy, calm spirit, knowledge base, and abundance of encouragement. Our overnight doula, Lisa, provided valuable help during our early days home with a newborn. Lisa is very professional and amazing with us and our child. If you are going through your first pregnancy, having an ABC doula by your side will alleviate so much stress -- you can feel confident they will keep you as their focus and priority.
- Tina Gutierrez
As a first time mom with lots of medical anxieties about birth and being in the hospital, I wanted a doula to support both my husband and I in this experience. Joni was SO incredibly knowledgeable and gave us confidence going into and throughout the birth. She set up a very tranquil atmosphere in the hospital room and coached us on when to go to the hospital. My husband was in constant communication with them while I labored at home and their expert guidance kept him calm which kept me calm. I was terrified going into birth and I could not be more proud and happy with how it went! I wanted an unmedicated birth and was able to achieve that with both Joni and my husbands support. Without her, I don't think it would have been such a peaceful birth.
- Kathleen Daly
Austin birth company was such an incredible experience from the very first time I reached out. Brandee immediately hopped on the phone with me and was so helpful with information and recommendations. She connected me with my amazing birth doula, Kelsey. My husband and I have no family in Texas and this was our first baby so I knew I wanted that extra support and it was the best move I could have made. Kelsey was incredible and got me through a very difficult birth experience with such grace, love & support. Brandee then set me up with Lisa as my overnight doula and Lisa was another extraordinary support. I am an extremely anxious mom (right from birth, my baby had a clavicle fracture) so I was very nervous about having anyone else handle her. I felt comfortable and confident with Lisa right away. She helped me so much the first night we got home and those first few weeks. Her help made such a significant difference in my recovery and she helped me with breastfeeding, teaching me how to use my pump and figure out a schedule and she even brought things to my attention that I wouldn’t have noticed. She answered so many of my questions, she took care of my baby while I got to sleep. She is still the only person I would let watch my baby without me present. Brandee also connected me with an amazing lactation consultant and I am still breastfeeding 5 months later and loving every second of it. My experience would have been so different without this incredible group of women. I am so grateful for the whole team at ABC.
- Tiffany Rivera
Had a wonderful experience working with Vanessa, Brandee and Joy at Austin Birth Company. They are always quick to respond and address any questions I had. Thanks to Austin Birth Company’s support I had a wonderful birth experience. I now recommend having a doula to all of my friends- because of my great experience with ABC.
