​​​​As a Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Parenting Educator, I believe my calling is to help families find their own unique path to parenthood. A mother and stepmom myself, I offer an open heart and a listening ear – along with my extensive training – to provide nurturing, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and inclusive care and education for all kinds of families. Based upon your family’s personal needs and values, I will help you create your perfect birth team, tap into your own strength and voice, and feel empowered to make the best choices for yourself and your growing family. I believe the childbearing year – before, during, and after the birth event – is an awesome opportunity to bring joy and light into the world and into your life. My mission and my passion is delivering that experience for you and your family through custom, private childbirth classes, parenting education, birth doula and postpartum doula support.

Hello, my name is Martha J. I am a Certified Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) with over 24 years of hands-on experience supporting families since 2000. I am deeply drawn to this work because I value the family environment and the critical role of care during the earliest days after birth. I provide emotional and practical support to parents both individually and as a couple, helping them navigate the transition with confidence and calm. Supporting mothers during the first weeks postpartum is a true calling for me. Caring for the newborn while parents recover from the long, demanding hours of labor, whether in a hospital setting or following a home birth, is work I find meaningful. I am experienced in breastfeeding support, including baby latching, milk production, expression, safe milk storage, and bottle feeding. I closely monitor the baby’s well-being, bringing the baby to the mother for feedings, changing diapers, swaddling, and supporting healthy sleep routines. I maintain clear daily communication with parents regarding their baby’s care and development. Additional responsibilities include washing pump accessories and bottles, wipes and diapers, diaper cream, etc., refills, light nursery tidying, and newborn laundry. My goal is to create a stable, supportive environment in which both parents and baby can rest, recover, and bond.

As first time parents with demanding schedules, my wife and I knew we could use an extra set of helping hands. Lindsey was a Godsend and we honestly don’t know how we would have survived the last few months without her by our side. Not only did she give top tier care to our newborn but she was a mentor, friend and so much more. The help began before the baby even arrived with tips and suggestions as we waited to welcome our new addition. The help continued after arrival with tending to our colicky baby so we could rest and recharge our batteries to manage our busy days. She fed the baby, cared for the baby, taught us about sleep training and even helped with breast feeding concerns. As first time parents, we did all the reading and felt even with the knowledge we had learned on our own, Lindsey brought more to the table than we could have even hoped for. With so many years of experience and the delicate touch to soothe a fussy little one, she was well worth every penny. We have also already recommended her to several soon to be parents and think so highly of her, just wanted to take the time to share our amazing experience… Thank you Lindsey!

I am delighted to write a reference for Shelby! She's a doula who's genuine passion for supporting and empowering others during the transformative experience of childbirth and the very special postpartum time, has impressed me immensely. Shelby goes above and beyond to ensure that families feel comfortable, supported, and confident in their new roles. She actively listens to the needs of parents, offering guidance, encouragement, and practical assistance. As a new mother herself, she has a deep understanding of the physical and emotional challenges that come with welcoming a new addition to the family and excels in providing the necessary support. Her genuine empathy, coupled with a genuine interest in the well-being of others, makes her a standout candidate for anyone seeking a supportive doula!

Hey there! I’m Ana, a Salado, TX-based doula, mama, and self-proclaimed birth nerd. My journey into birth work actually started before I ever got pregnant when I began learning about natural family planning and realized just how much we, as women, aren’t taught about our own bodies. We’re often told to put that part of ourselves on hold — to not think about fertility, birth, or motherhood until “later.” But in doing that, we lose touch with something so deeply feminine and powerful. My journey to motherhood was life-changing in the best way and it opened my eyes to how little support and information is actually offered to pregnant and postpartum women. I found myself thinking, Why didn’t anyone tell me this? Is this normal? Am I doing this right?? That’s when I knew — I wanted to be that support for other women. The one who says, “Yes, this is normal,” or “Here’s what your options are,” or “You’ve got this. I’m a doula, but I’m also a teacher at heart — I love sharing knowledge that helps women feel confident, calm, and connected to their bodies.

Hey Momma, I’m Shaquana. Welcome, I'm so glad you're here! I truly believe every momma deserves to feel seen, heard, and empowered throughout this incredible journey. As your doula, my hope is to be a reassuring presence, offering the care and encouragement you deserve during this beautiful season of your life. Your vision for your birth matters. I'd love nothing more than to hear about what that looks like and how I can support you in welcoming your bundle of joy!

Recent review

I was considered high-risk and deeply hoped for a natural birth, but things didn’t go as planned and I ended up needing a c-section. Through it all, Shaquana was truly my anchor. From the start, she made me feel seen, heard, and supported. During labor, she offered different comfort measures to help me manage physically and emotionally(which I needed the most) offering everything from breathing techniques to calming touch and positioning that helped me stay grounded. Even when I felt rushed and overlooked by my provider, Shaquana made sure my voice was still in the room. She never pushed, only empowered! Shaquana reminded me that no matter how my baby arrived, I was strong and never alone throughout this process. I truly couldn’t have done it without her, and I’ll always be thankful for her.

I wished if there more than five stats to givr. She is angel 👼! She helped me while my husband was deployed and in last minute. She offered all her support. She came to my house while I was having contractions and she noticed I am in pain and stay in my home until my water broke and then she took me to the hospital. She supported me entire my labor. She filled with love and compassion and willing to help as much as she can. I will never forget when I asked her to take me home.

Brittany spent a few nights with our one month old when he was really struggling with gas and sleeping. She lent her expertise in helping us navigate the best way to manage his sleep and gave us a chance to rest. She is very sweet, knowledgeable, and trustworthy! I look forward to using her services again.
