Renea Ortiz - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Renea

Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Renea, and I founded Roots of Radiance from a deep passion for supporting families through some of life's most transformative experiences. As a birth and postpartum doula, mindfulness coach, Certified Medical Assistant, and healthcare educator with more than a decade of experience, I bring together evidence-based knowledge, compassionate care, and a holistic approach to emotional well-being. My journey into birth work led me to support families within birthing center settings, working alongside midwives and witnessing firsthand the strength, vulnerability, and beauty of the transition into parenthood. These experiences continue to shape the way I serve my clients today, with steady guidance, practical support, and a deep respect for each family's unique path. I believe that birth and postpartum are not simply events to move through, but profound rites of passage that deserve thoughtful preparation, meaningful support, and space for personal growth. Whether you are preparing to welcome your first baby or adding to your family, my goal is to help you feel informed, confident, and connected to yourself throughout the journey. Service is at the heart of everything I do. In addition to supporting my clients, I volunteer with families in my local community through Austin Angels, an organization dedicated to providing consistent support and meaningful connections to children, caregivers, and families. As an extension of that commitment, a portion of every Roots of Radiance booking is directed toward supporting the families I serve through these outreach efforts. When you choose to work with me, you are also helping strengthen and uplift families within our community. It is truly an honor to walk alongside families during such a sacred season of life, and I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

Hiring Renea as our doula was one of the best decisions we made. During prenatal she was great support in planning our birth preferences and showing us exercises to utilize before baby got here. During birth she was integral in keeping me calm and flexible in my decisions. She also put me in several positions that made laboring easier. After birth she has been showing me so much support with postpartum hours by coming by and helping out with the baby on days where I’m exhausted. Through it all she’s been a great sounding board for all of my emotional concerns and questions around lactation, milestones, etc. I’m so happy we have her in our lives

Renea was amazing and supportive every step of the way. I’m not sure I would have been so open to changes during birth if it wasn’t for her help to both me and my husband. She was 100% worth the investment!

Renea is an absolute gem and truly everything you could want in a doula. Her presence is incredibly calming, and her knowledge made the entire process feel smooth. She is supportive, gentle in her methods, and brings a top-tier energy to every interaction. I can’t recommend her enough~ she is truly the best of the best!
