I am a birth and postpartum doula deeply committed to supporting families with compassionate, evidence-based care during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I believe birth is a powerful, transformative experience, and every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and confident in their choices. I also offer placenta encapsulation services as well as placenta and breast milk art. My philosophy centers on informed consent, intuitive support, and meeting each family exactly where they are; emotionally, physically, and culturally. I strive to create a calm, grounded presence that allows birthing parents to feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout their journey. I am honored to have been voted Best Doula in Houston for 2025, a recognition that reflects my dedication to personalized care and meaningful connection with the families I serve. Whether you’re planning a medicated birth, unmedicated birth, or something in between, my role is not to direct your experience, but to walk alongside you, offering education, advocacy, and unwavering support so you can approach birth with confidence and trust in your body.

Debbie Thomas of Guiding Hands Birth Services was an incredible source of peace and guidance throughout our first birth journey. As first-time parents, we had so many questions and hopes for a low-intervention birth. Debbie provided a thoughtful guide we frequently turned to, and her late-night and early morning support allowed us to ask questions without any judgment. During my long 35-hour labor, Debbie remained a calming and steady presence, even when complications led to a C-section. Afterward, my husband reflected on the moments where I was so scared and weak, she was able to give support he didn’t know to give ‘That’s exactly why we decided to hire Debbie… she was worth every penny.’ She has such a heart for serving others, and we are deeply grateful. If you are in The Woodlands or surrounding area, Debbie Thomas is exactly who you want by your side… she will guide you with compassion, knowledge, and unwavering support.

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

I hired Aniya as my labor photographer for my birth earlier this month, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. This was my first baby and I was thrilled to have someone like her by my side. Although she was just my photographer, she truly went above and beyond during my last few weeks of pregnancy. She checked up on me, gave me advice, and helped ease my nerves a ton. During my actual labor, she was responsive and ready to come to the hospital even in the dead of night. She arrived when I was about 7cm dilated. I was in complete labor land and didn’t manage to say a single word to her, but she got right to work. She wasn’t in the way of anyone or anything, and got SO many beautiful shots. I feel so blessed to have these moments captured forever. This was one of the best decisions I could have made!

Zaira was such a blessing to our family. My husband and I tell everyone she was worth every penny and more. She gave us so much confidence going into the delivery of our son and we never felt alone. She went above and beyond during the entire team process and even still checks in on our son. The first time we met Zaira she drove all the way to our house (a long drive for her) and before she did anything else she prayed with us in our living room. We knew from that point on she was who we would choose as our doula. She was not only there for me and my questions, she gave assurance to my husband as well and equipped him to be the best partner throughout our delivery. From prenatal visits, to random texts, delivery, and even postpartum Zaira looked after our every need. I highly recommend her to anyone looking.

Hi, I'm LaVerne, also known as the Baby Whisperer and I've been a doula for almost ten years. My work centers on creating a calm, nurturing environment where families can truly thrive during pregnancy, birth, and those busy early weeks. I support mothers through the full spectrum of their journey, from birth preparation and labor support to postpartum recovery, both mentally, emotionally, and physically. During birth, I serve as a steady presence, offering comfort measures, encouragement, and advocacy so you can have the empowering experience you envision. In the postpartum period, I'm deeply attuned to babies' cues, cries, and signals, and I provide hands-on care including household tasks, feeding, diapering, bathing, sleep coaching, & meal prep for mom. I also manage The Retreat at MILK Maternity in The Woodlands.

LaVerne is a treasure! I call her the baby whisperer because she is so attuned to babies and good at meeting their needs. I half joke (and am half serious) that families should fight over the chance to work with her. We only worked with her for two weeks, a short amount of time, but in that period she was able to transform our baby’s quality of life - she flagged that he most likely had a dietary intolerance and that he seemed to be in pain while lying flat. I spoke to his doctor and after I cut dairy and soy from my diet and we started him on reflux medication, it was like having a whole different baby - he was so much happier and more comfortable. She was extremely attuned to him and his needs and very gentle with soothing. She was proactive and fit into our household routine, for example she would refill my water or organize the baby clothes without being asked. She went above and beyond in caring for our baby and helped to resolve a diaper rash that had been ongoing for weeks. She was very professional, prompt, supportive, and cared for my baby as if he were her own. I will forever be grateful for her attention to our baby’s needs and advocacy on his behalf that helped us make changes so he wouldn’t have to be constantly uncomfortable and in pain. Our entire extended family of parents and grandparents noticed how gifted LaVerne is with babies and how well my son did under her care. She has my highest recommendation without reservations for other families.

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!

Having Ms.Foster as my doula was truly life changing and amazing. She became my sister overnight literally; she came in with so much love, kindness and joy for what she's set out to do. Her light coming in helped me TRULY calm down and start enjoying my pregnancy experience. I truly recommend any and everyone to definitely have Ms. Foster for their doula.
