Maya, The Smiling Doula, and I service birth and postpartum mamas in the Dallas, TX area. What’s my role? As a birth doula, i’m there to support, act as an advocate, educate, amplify voices, and serve as a coach to the mama and partner during the birthing time. As a postpartum doula, I’m there to nurture, educate, assess the needs of the mama or baby, refer to needed doctors or specialists, and support the family as they transition their life with a new baby.

My husband and I delivered our first child November of 2022 with the help of Maya. Our family was truly blessed to have her as our doula. She met with us before delivering, supported us during delivery, and met with us after delivery. During pregnancy, Maya knew I wanted to breastfeed and sent me information on breastfeeding as well as a class. During delivery, Maya made sure my needs were heard and met. She made sure my voice did not go unheard and made both my health and my family’s health the number one priority. She helped to make my birth experience peaceful and amazing. I was terrified to deliver a child but Maya quickly made all those fears go away. We definitely plan to use Maya again and highly recommend her!

Hello, my name is Raven! As an entrepreneur, I am familiar with the importance of being passionate about one's work. In my case, my passion for birth work stems from personal experience as a wife and mother of two beautiful souls. The miraculous and empowering births I experienced sparked within me a desire to guide and support others on their own journeys through pregnancy and childbirth. However, my path to becoming a birth doula was not without obstacles. Before conceiving my oldest, I faced some difficult pregnancy losses. To help heal and cope with these losses, I turned to writing and expressed my feelings through a love letter or poem dedicated to my future rainbow baby. This experience not only brought me solace, but also deepened my understanding and empathy for other women facing similar struggles. It was this profound sense of empathy and the desire to support and empower women that ultimately inspired me to become a birth doula. With every client I work with, I am reminded of the importance of providing emotional, physical, and informational support during such a transformative time in a woman's life. My personal journey has fueled my passion and dedication to this work, and I am constantly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a meaningful and rewarding profession.

Absolutely Amazing! I received the Classically Beautiful Package and I couldn’t be more pleased with the services provided by Mrs. Kidd. She was patient, informative, and made me feel so at ease with the birthing process. She was ready and available whenever I called, and I really love the affirmations and the Aura she brought to each visit and the birth of my beautiful baby girl. When searching for a Doula, I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect, however, after being guided by Poetically Birthed (Mrs. Kidd), I for sure know I was in the right place during the right time. I could not be more happy! Thank you so much Poetically Birthed for caring for me and my baby. 💕

Hi there! I am Amie Ivy - Birth & Postpartum Doula. My journey into birth work started with the birth of my first son in 2012. I was fortunate to have been surrounded by amazing, supportive women from my own family to the Midwife, Doula, and Chiropractor that I chose. Even though I had to make some shifts in my birth plan, I felt confident in my birth experience because of the love and care they showed me. I have always had a desire to serve and support women. It is an honor to have the opportunity to empower and support them through their pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey.

Inspired by my own reproductive journey, I feel called to do birth work in this phase of my life. I have the most wonderful five year old daughter and being her Mom is absolutely the best part of my life, however my journey to her did not come without its challenges. From struggling with pregnancy loss, to a pregnancy that required me to be on full bed rest for my entire third trimester, and ultimately delivering via c-section. I am well versed in needing supportive around the clock care. And most importantly I count that care as one of my biggest blessings. I believe that care is what allowed me to bring a beautiful baby to this world safely and transition to motherhood with confidence.

I am a doula and a yoga practitioner in Frisco and the Dallas-Forth Worth Metroplex, and I have a Masters of Arts in Physical Activity and Health from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany. I speak German and English. I have lived, studied and worked in three different countries and international life is my normal. I like to say that I was born in Canada, I grew up in Germany, and now, I am raising my own family in Frisco, Texas. Mothering With Grace is focused on empowering women to have a positive experience in pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond into motherhood. When a woman has agency, feels supported, can get what she needs (without being made to feel like a burden) and she is respected by the people accompanying her from pregnancy through to postpartum and beyond, she is much more likely to have a positive experience.

**If you are unable to afford a doula, I offer low to no cost service every month to a limited amount of families. Let me be your personal hype woman. I am an Air Force Veteran turned Birth Worker. I became a doula because while in the military, I was displaced from having a support system. When I got pregnant, I had to give birth in a community that looked nothing like me. I was also wildly uninformed about the rates of maternal morbidity amongst black women. These coupled ideas made me feel really uneasy about my birthing experience. I wanted to make a difference after my experience and becoming a doula turned out to be my life's passion. I pride myself on being open-minded, spiritual, and will provide you with a calm reassuring presence during your pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum.
