Find a Childbirth Educator Near Me in Lewisville, TX

First, as a sister and a friend, then as a mother myself, I have seen the medical system sew fear and doubt into women regarding their body's capability to achieve what it was intended to. The truth is, childbirth is both natural and miraculous. I believe that every woman has the right to decide what interventions she wants to use in childbirth without the use of fear, but instead through true informed consent. I continue learning daily how best to help each new mama, both through lived experiences and through research, and will gladly share my knowledge. I also believe that every woman should be supported through the most vulnerable and powerful moment of her life. In a system that pushes women away from their natural state, I am here to be that calming support and fierce advocate.

I am SO grateful to Barbara! She was a trusted guide and resource from the moment she joined my birth team. Barbara advocated for me throughout my hospital birth labor and I ended up with the best birth experience. Barbara's encouragement and her hands-on assistance during delivery gave me the birth experience I had truly prayed for. Barbara provided me and husband confidence and peace of mind throughout my pregnancy and during labor. Barbara literally held me up during the pushing phase! She provided security to me in her advocacy. Barbara empowered me throughout my pregnancy and birth. To have Barbara with you during your pregnancy and birth is truly a gift. I am forever grateful for Barbara. If I am blessed with another pregnancy, I will be asking Barbara to be my doula again. I am full of gratitude for everything Barbara did for me and my family.

I’m Em - mama of many, wife to my best friend and new homestead-er. I created my photography business in 2018 not knowing exactly what I wanted to capture, I just knew I wanted to help those in my community save their memories for a lifetime. Fast forward to 2021, I attended my first birth, a sweet home birth. After that I know that birth work was exactly what I was looking for - it has become my passion. In winter of 2022 I got my doula certification to serve local mamas during their pregnancy, labor and postpartum. Now, today in 2024 I have served over 19 mamas and counting and have been published for my birth photography workin a magazine and I have won awards on my work. I enrolled at MCU as a student midwife in 2023 with the intentions to graduate with a bachelors of science in midwifery in 2027. I am currently serving those in the Johnstown, OH + surrounding area.

Melinda Pawloski

15 years of experience

Hello! I'm Melinda, wife to Seth, and mother to Abigail, Luke, Keturah, Naomi, Isaac, Elijah, and Mattias. While my family lived in South Africa(2018-2019), I was blessed to become a certified doula through their WOMBS (women offering mothers birth support) program. Along with in-person classes, I experienced hands-on doula opportunities with laboring women in 2 different hospital locations in Johannesburg. I believe this experience opened my heart to truly seeing the importance of having a strong support system during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum. Children are a blessing from the Lord and every mother deserves the best through her pregnancy/delivery. I personally have experienced 3 hospital births, 2 birth center deliveries, and 2 home births. I am here to support you and help you make the most memorable and peaceful birth possible. If you are pregnant and would like the support of a doula, please reach out to me. I would love to meet you and see if I am the right doula for you.

We are so incredibly grateful that we hired Melinda as our doula. From the very beginning, she was always available to answer our questions and provide reassurance, and she brought such a calm and comforting presence to our birth experience. Our little one decided to arrive early, and Melinda was incredibly flexible and showed up when we needed her. Throughout labor, she offered so many helpful recommendations for position changes, pain management techniques, and ways to work through each stage. She also helped my husband feel much more confident in how to support me through some of the most difficult parts of labor, which meant so much to both of us. Our birth experience ended up being drastically different from what we had planned, but Melinda was wonderful at helping us pivot, supporting us through the unexpected, and encouraging us as we made decisions along the way. I especially appreciated that she prayed over us right before delivery. It was such a meaningful and comforting moment that I will always remember. I would absolutely recommend Melinda to any expecting family—and I already have! She was an incredible source of support, encouragement, and calm during one of the most important and challenging experiences of our lives. We are so thankful she was there to help us welcome our little one into the world.

Hello! I am a Licensed Midwife (LM) and a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) proudly serving families through compassionate, holistic, homebirth care. Located in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas, I serve a 90-mile radius of “Cowtown.” Having had a homebirth practice previously in Abilene and San Angelo, Texas, I have a strong background in rural birth. Through my work, I work to prove that birth is not just a physical event- it’s a profoundly sacred, transformative journey. My heart is to walk alongside you with wisdom, gentleness, and strength as you welcome your baby into the world, right in the comfort and safety of your own home. With years of hands-on experience and a deep respect for the physiological process of birth, I offer care that is evidence-based, deeply personal, and grounded in trust. My approach to midwifery is rooted in respect for your body and your choices- including strong, informed support for those searching for a trial of labor after a cesarean and hoping for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). Birth is not a one-size-fits-all experience, and I’m here to ensure your voice is central in every decision.

We believe that birth is YOUR story and should be done your way. We try our best to support our clients wishes during births and follow directions for post Partum care as well. We think it’s important not to push clients to do things but allow them to choose their own paths. We love what we do and love educating our clients so that they’re able to make the best decisions for themselves and feel well informed when doing so… We are a team/partnership of two doulas and a registered nurse to cover all things birth, postpartum and beyond!

As a first-time mom, Kourtney was an incredible doula throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum journey. Her support, knowledge, encouragement, and calming presence made a tremendous difference during one of the most important seasons of my life. She helped me feel informed, confident, and empowered every step of the way. Whenever I had questions or concerns, Kourtney was always available with guidance, reassurance, and genuine care. Her dedication to both me and my family went far beyond my expectations. Because of her support, I felt prepared for birth and well-supported as I transitioned into motherhood. Kourtney brought compassion, professionalism, and a genuine passion for serving families to every interaction. I highly recommend Kourtney’s doula services to any expecting family. She is knowledgeable, caring, dependable, and truly committed to helping mothers have a positive and empowering birth experience. Working with her was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy, and I am deeply grateful for everything she did for my family.

Hi everyone! I'm a birth doula located in Melissa, TX and a mom of 3 + a set of fraternal twins. Babies and mamas are my passion and I'm so blessed to have supported and loved on so many in the time I've been doing this. I have assisted births in every setting as well as have had my own babies in a hospital, birthing center and, most recently, at home. My goal is for every mom to learn to trust themselves, trust their bodies and feel confident going into pregnancy, birth and postpartum. If you don't have a village, I'm here to be that for you!

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Sydney as my doula during my VBAC journey! We were initially planning for a repeat C-section, but after hearing a friend’s inspiring story about her home VBAC, I felt motivated to explore other options. A mutual friend connected me with Sydney, and right from our first meeting, the good vibes were undeniable—especially since we shared the same name! It felt like a sign that we were a perfect match. What I really appreciated about Sydney is how real and honest she is. She doesn’t sugarcoat things just to keep you comfortable—she tells you the truth and gives you all the facts, which is so important when planning your birth. Her straightforward approach helped me feel empowered to make informed decisions and commit to my plan for an unmedicated birth. After my previous experience with interventions that led to an unnecessary C-section, I was determined to do things differently this time. Sydney was super responsive to all my questions throughout my pregnancy, which really calmed my nerves. When the big day finally came, Sydney was a total rockstar! Her presence was empowering, and I felt like I could really go for it. After the birth, she came for a home visit, which was such a sweet touch. She brought us thoughtful goodies and shared valuable tips on postpartum care, even though this wasn’t my first rodeo with a newborn.

I'm Taylor, your dedicated birth and postpartum doula. As a native of Dallas, my life's journey has been a blend of enriching experiences and fulfilling adventures, all of which have guided me to my true calling—supporting new families during the prenatal & postpartum period. Right after college, I embarked on a transformative adventure to Thailand. Living and teaching in this beautiful country was an eye-opening experience that profoundly shaped my worldview. It was here that I found my inspiration to live freely, purposefully, and in service to others. In my everyday life, I love juicing and cooking. When I’m not assisting families, you can find me hiking the trails around Dallas, reading or traveling. I also cherish going to the movies. Pregnancy and postpartum are crucial for both the baby and the parents. As your birth/postpartum doula, my goal is to provide unwavering support, compassionate care, and practical guidance. Drawing from my holistic experiences and nurturing spirit, I am here to ensure that this transition is as smooth and joyful as possible for you and your family. I look forward to working with you and supporting your family during this precious time. Together, we can create a nurturing environment where both you and your baby can thrive.

Taylor was such a light during my journey as a first time mom. Her kindness and care for others radiates out of her. I found in her a place of support as we discussed everything from breastfeeding to the return of my cycles. We also trusted her with the care of our sweet baby, whom she tenderly watched over. We are so grateful for Taylor!

As a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, I love walking beside families through the transitions of pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I believe having access to positive support during those times contributes not only to better birth outcomes, but stronger bonds within the family and community as well. A mother of six myself, and while I have many interests and hobbies, like gardening and reading (SO much reading!) my knowledge around birth and motherhood has been a constant thread of connection with those I meet. I am honored when families value my input by bringing their questions to me! I strive to encourage an informed, prepared, and calm birth environment for my clients, meeting challenges that arise with patience and proven techniques.

Hello! My name is Tab’itha, better known as Tabby, and I’m a passionate certified professional midwife currently residing in Mesquite, Texas. I was born and raised in the Stop 6 area of Fort Worth, TX, and I am a proud mother of three teenage girls. From a young age, I always wanted to be a "baby doctor." My grandmother would often say, "You will be a doctor, and your sister will be a lawyer." Although I encountered quite a few roadblocks and detours along the way, I eventually found my way back to what my grandmother had always believed in, but in a way that resonates with me even more—becoming a midwife. I later discovered that midwifery was in my blood; my great-grandmother was a trusted midwife in her small community in Mississippi, which further inspired my journey. I graduated from Southwest Tech with an associate degree in Health Science and Midwifery in December 2024 and passed my NARM exam in April 2025, becoming fully licensed as a midwife in Texas. I am currently finishing up my Bachelor’s in Nursing at Arizona College, further enhancing my skills and knowledge in healthcare. My journey into birth work began in 2018 when I trained as a birth doula through DONA. As a doula, I have attended over 150 in-hospital and out-of-hospital births. When COVID peaked, I was fortunate enough to continue support in the hospital. It was during this time that I realized I needed to acquire the education and skills to become a community midwife sooner than I had originally planned. During my schooling, I attended an additional 95 births and worked with several well-respected midwives and OB-GYNs in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, gaining invaluable experience. I have also acquired skills and experience as a bereavement and cesarean/VBAC support specialist, allowing me to provide comprehensive care to families during significant moments in their lives. I believe in the power of compassionate care and informed choices, striving to create a safe and nurturing environment for my clients. My end goal is to become a certified nurse midwife and nurse practitioner, bringing holistic and woman-centered care to communities that lack representation, including the area where I grew up. As an avid homeschooler, I enjoy engaging with my daughters in their education while also finding joy in my hobbies such as sewing, crafts, hosting workshops for young girls, and assisting in the offices I hold in my church. My goal is to continue growing in my practice while providing exceptional care to those I serve.

Tabby is the perfect midwife! She’s very knowledgeable and calm. She is very passionate about what she does and is always committed to get the job done. She offers a safe practice and is willing to assist you with whatever is needed

Hi! I am a birth doula serving Tarrant and Parker counties. I specialize in hospital birth, and have experience with high risk moms, as well as moms who have experienced previous birth, medical, or other trauma. I love empowering and educating moms to be able to make their own confident decisions! I believe that birth support isn’t a luxury service. I am able to break my free up into multiple payments, and can accept HSA. I also work with an organization that might be able to provide a doula at no cost to those who qualify. Contact me today to schedule a free consultation to see if I would be a good fit for you!

I found Cynthia in a panic around 36 weeks pregnant, after my original doula didn’t work out. I had accepted the fact that I wouldn’t have a doula & it was probably too late to find someone. Cynthia heard my story and quickly took me under her wing. She helped me with prepping for labor, gave me tools to get the baby in an optimal position, & as a bonus, became a bff to my toddler! This was my first home birthing experience so I was so thankful she was willing to help me. When it came time that I went into labor, Cynthia was quick to be here & assist me. I labored extremely quick & there is no way I could have handled my wild labor without her. She kept me calm & reminded me I could do it & to breath through the contractions. She helped me clear my head space & stay grounded. I will forever be thankful for Cynthia & highly recommend her! If I decide to have more babies, I will definitely be using her again.

I am Amanda, I am a wife, truth loving, mama of 5. I have had 2 unexpected cesareans and 2 successful vaginal homebirths, and 1 gentle cesarean. For 11 years I have been advocating, teaching, and rooting for moms in their pregnancy, births, through postpartum and in their motherhood. I am a homeschooling/stay at home mother, homeopathic medicine believer, Jesus and wildflower lover, and lover of all things old, vintage, unique, and with a little character. I was and am a young mom and started off with little to no knowledge on how to have a baby, let alone how to take care of my baby, what to expect in those seasons of my life, and how to advocate for myself and family. Through education, tools and other wise mothers I was able to know what my mom-gut was leading to me do and I am now able to walk confidently on a path that is best for me and my family, and I am so excited to share that with you and to help you do the same!
