I had the privilege of working with Sasha as my doula during my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. I cannot express enough gratitude for her exceptional support. From the very beginning, Sasha demonstrated a level of professionalism, compassion, and expertise that truly made a difference in my birthing experience. During my pregnancy, Sasha was a constant source of knowledge and reassurance. She took the time to understand my unique needs and concerns, providing me with evidence-based information and guidance that helped me make informed decisions. Her ability to listen attentively and offer non-judgmental support created a safe space for me to express my fears and anxieties. When it came time for the birth, Sasha's presence was invaluable. Her calm demeanor and unwavering support helped me confidently navigate the intense moments. She provided physical comfort measures, emotional encouragement, and continuous reassurance, ensuring I felt empowered and in control throughout the process. Sasha's expertise in various birthing techniques, such as positioning, proved incredibly helpful in promoting progress. But Sasha's support didn't end with the birth. During the postpartum period, she remained a pillar of strength and guidance. She offered practical assistance with newborn care and emotional well-being. Her genuine care and understanding made transitioning from two to three children smoother and less overwhelming. Overall, Sasha's dedication to her role as a doula is commendable. Her knowledge, professionalism, and unwavering support were instrumental in making my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience positive and empowering. I wholeheartedly recommend Sasha to any expectant mother seeking a compassionate and skilled doula who will go above and beyond to ensure a memorable and fulfilling journey into parenthood.

My goal is to provide you with the tools you need to make educated decisions in the birthing room. And before we get to the birthing space we will focus on navigating the healthcare system in a way where you are informed about your care , advocating for yourself, educating yourself on what to expect during labor and postpartum recovery.

DeNae provided postpartum doula services for me and she was nothing short of amazing. She was always on time, very loving and caring and even brought juices and gave a dietary plan to help me with postpartum recovery! I truly loved having her around & I always recommend her to others.

Hello wonderful parents! I’m Kayla. I’ve raised my 3 siblings on my own, and i am currently pregnant with my own son( due in July) I’ve also worked in plenty daycares since the age of 15. Therefore i have plenty of experience. I haven’t worked with any ages over 3 years old besides my siblings, so I’m not quite experienced with the older kids. I am however willing to give it a shot. I’m 20 years old( lol very quick on my feet to chase the littles) I’m currently a junior in college studying for my degree in early childhood. Your probably thinking A very young junior i know, but I graduated high school a year earlier than my class. Therefore I have all the capabilities to teach your littles and/or help with homework. However all of my classes are online so, I’m free whenever you need me to be. I’ve worked with children for years and I do it because it’s my passion. I want to be the best teacher there is & practicing with jobs such as these are a great help to me. Therefore I’m not looking for a big pay out, $10-15 is fine with me or even if you’re looking for something cheaper. I’m open to negotiating. You’re helping me by letting me help your family. Give me a shot! Talk soon <3

Peace! Birth, magnanimous as it is, is one moment that comes after months of mental and spiritual preparation. It is the intention, the mission, if you will, of Soulcology of Birth to provide more than childbirth education. I will journey alongside these burgeoning Mamas as a sister (and as I grow, auntie, Mama, GrandMother). I will help them unpack their family history, to heal, to break generational cycles of dysfunction. Soulcology of Birth is centered on the sanctity of created Life with a focus on growing Love.

La historia de mi emprendimiento comenzó con mi propia maternidad. A mis veintitantos tuve a mis hijas, y la gran diferencia fue el respaldo de mi familia: Mujeres que me sostuvieron y Hombres que me protegieron. Ese acompañamiento transformó mi experiencia y me enseñó que maternar no debería vivirse nunca en aislamiento. Años después, emigré. Como migrante, descubrí lo opuesto: la soledad de las familias hispanas que gestan y crían lejos de casa. Sin tribu, sin idioma común, en un sistema de salud eficiente pero impersonal. Esa realidad me llevó a un 'ajá' interior: Mi vocación era crear para otras lo que yo había recibido: Un NIDO de confianza, cuidado y resiliencia. Ofrezco programas que integran mi formación como doula, educadora perinatal y especialista en procesos de indagación personal. Lo que hace única esta propuesta es la capacidad de tender puentes: entre lo médico y lo humano, entre la cultura de origen y la de acogida, entre la soledad y la comunidad. Acompaño a las familias para que vivan la maternidad con confianza y resiliencia, y en ese proceso contribuyo a sembrar generaciones más empáticas y comunidades más cohesionadas.

Hi! I'm Tamiko. I'm the Advanced Newborn Care Specialist, Certified Postpartum Doula, and Sleep Expert for exhausted parents who want their babies to sleep all night so they can feel like themselves again. I help moms enjoy motherhood and have time for themselves once the baby is down for the night. Dads have reported waking energized with a new pep in their step after implementing my strategies. Since 2008, I've worked 24/7, rotational shifts for families who value privacy and discretion. I understand the unique needs of these families and the great finesse required to succeed in these positions. I enjoy working with families from all backgrounds and providing them with both daytime and overnight support as they transition into parenthood. I've helped over 1000 families (both online and in-person) gently teach their little ones to sleep. I also have lots of experience working with medically fragile babies (i.e. N/GJ/J tubes, sleep apnea, GERD, SGA, cardiac issues, etc.). In my free time, I enjoy baking delicious gluten-free desserts and hanging out with my sweet nephews. If you're looking for an experienced Doula or Newborn Care Specialist who's calm, a joy to be around, and goes with the flow, let's connect. I'm so excited to meet you and learn more about your family.

We hired Tamiko so she could support us right when we got home. It was really in the beginning more about me getting sleep because I was recovering from a C-section and just really needed to rest and recover. And it was really, really crucial having Tamiko there in those early days right after we got back from the hospital to get the most sleep. With Tamiko's help, our daughter started at about six weeks just skipping, her two 3:00 AM feeding and she sleeps between 10 and 12 hours in a stretch every night now, so at two months. She helped create a plan so I can breastfeed and still get rest at night. Tamiko is easygoing and easy to get along with and it's nice having her around.

Hi my name is Annelise. I'm a new BEST certified childbirth doula in Houston. I became a doula because I believe that every single birthing person deserves to be heard, supported, and surrounded by love. My passion is offering empathy, advocacy, and unwavering care during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. My approach is rooted in spiritual practices, meditation, and holistic support. I prefer home births and birthing center births, working with you, a partner, and your midwife to create a calm and empowered birthing environment that honors your body’s wisdom. Beyond birth support, I also provide nourishing postpartum meal prep, crafting meals tailored to dietary restrictions and designed to promote healing and increase milk production. I aim to care for both body and spirit, ensuring you feel supported in every way during this sacred transition. I enjoy spirituality, meditation, music, field hockey, and cooking. Let’s create a birth and postpartum experience filled with love. I’d love to see if I'd be a good fit for your journey.

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.
