I aspire to create a safe, welcoming, and accepting space for my clients. My passion in counseling lies in working with clients on their path to, through, and after pregnancy. I believe in the process of counseling and that it takes courage and strength to face your challenges. My theoretical orientation for therapy is person-centered, therefore I believe in the capacity for growth and healing within individuals. Sometimes, extra support may be needed to facilitate that growth and healing. My approach to counseling is grounded in the belief that people strive to discover and be their true selves, which can be achieved through a therapeutic relationship based on non-judgement, empathy, and genuineness. My role as a counselor is to provide guidance, support, boundaries, and resources in order to help clients work towards their desired goals for counseling.

Hi, I’m Jazmine—a bilingual Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), and perhaps most importantly, a two-time triple-feeding mom of two. Like so many parents, I found myself exhausted and overwhelmed in the early days of feeding my babies—navigating confusing advice, constant pumping, and sleepless nights. I became a CLC to provide parents with the highest quality practical knowledge and care. I combine lived experience with professional expertise to support other parents in making informed, confident feeding choices. I have a background in Public Health (MPH) and over 15 years of experience in patient- and family-centered care, and I am bilingual (English/Spanish). I support families with evidence-based lactation education and early postpartum challenges.

Peace. My name is Maliha Ansari. I am a full spectrum certified Doula and Childbirth Educator. My compassion will support you emotionally, physically and psychologically at different stages of motherhood- Prepartum, Birth and Postpartum. I want to empower and educate mothers, daughters, husbands and loved ones and anyone who want to learn about birth. I am a mother of two energetic boys whom I home educate, and a wife of a loving and supportive husband. I enjoy exploring and connecting to nature, swimming, reading, cooking and gardening.

My name is Orion Clements, the forerunner of Clements Doula Services, and I’m a Madriella Certified Birth Doula serving the DFW area. I decided to become a doula early in 2024 after realizing how much I wanted a career in helping others during some of the most vulnerable times of their lives. I believe in a God that creates peace and order, and wanted to be someone who could embody that for others. Funny enough, shortly after deciding to pursue this career, I found out I was pregnant with my son! Going through that experience, along with training I think really shaped my own doula philosophy. To me, it doesn’t matter if you desire a medicated or natural birth, or even if things don’t go exactly as planned. What matters to me as your doula is if YOU feel empowered, educated, and as supported as possible during this experience. If that is what you’re seeking out of a doula, then I would love to come alongside you!

Hi, my name is Shi’Kia or Shi (shy), and I am honored to begin my journey as a doula.

I am dedicated to creating a calm, empowering, and nurturing environment where birthing parents feel heard, respected, and confident in their choices. While I may be at the beginning of my professional journey, my commitment to learning, growing, and serving my clients with compassion is unwavering. Choosing a doula is a deeply personal decision, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in this journey. Let’s create a birth experience that is informed, supported, and filled with love.

Hi! I'm Nayo a certified birth and postpartum doula. My approach to doula-ing is one that is very family centered. I love for my families to have all of the facts and then they make the best decision for them. I enjoy journeying with families through birth and postpartum. I'm a proud mama of two smart, rambunctious boys. I love to cook for and spend quality time with my family and friends. When birthing schedule allows, I also love travelling. I found my way to being a doula after the birth of my second baby. Though my pregnancy and birth were perfectly planned and perfectly played out, I had nothing setup and prepared for postpartum. Two days after I gave birth I was up making myself breakfast, getting my oldest off to school, and driving myself and new baby to his first pediatric appointment. I felt alone and isolated. Many days I would just cry from being overwhelmed. I told my doula and lactation consultant that as soon as I was healed I would train to be a postpartum doula so that no other families nor mom would have to suffer in silence. Now, as a birth and postpartum doula, I get to make sure that moms can have the birth they want, and a peaceful, sustainable life after their sweet baby has arrived. It's truly my passion to ensure families thrive through this wild time in their lives.

Hi, I’m Andrea Carter—founder of It Takes a Village, midwife, mother, and passionate birth advocate. Originally from Gary, Indiana, I made Dallas my home in 2015. Though I dreamed of becoming an OB/GYN as a child, it was my own powerful birth experiences that led me to step into the world of natural birth and begin my journey as a doula in 2016. ​Since then, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside over 160 families as a doula and supporting more than 300 families as a student midwife. I am a proud 2023 graduate of Southwest Technical College, and today I serve families as a staff midwife at Swiss Avenue Birth and Wellness Center, in addition to offering homebirth services throughout the DFW metroplex.​ ​ ​​ As a mother of four—each born naturally—I understand the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of birth firsthand. My mission is to educate and support families so they feel confident, heard, and empowered to make the choices that are right for them. I’ve attended a wide range of births, including VBACs, breech births, and twins, and I bring a calm, grounded presence to every birth space. My Philosophy of Birth I believe that birth is a sacred, physiological process—not something to be managed, but to be supported. Every birthing person deserves compassionate, respectful, and individualized care that centers their voice, values, and vision. I trust the innate wisdom of the body and believe that, with the right support and information, families can birth in power and peace—however that looks for them. Whether in a birth center or at home, I honor each family’s unique journey and hold space for their strength to unfold. At It Takes a Village, you’re not just receiving care—you’re gaining a trusted partner who honors your vision for birth and walks beside you every step of the way.
