Love & Light! I’m Tarynn (like Aaron with a T in front), a Birth and Postpartum Doula, Placenta Encapsulator, and Midwifery Student with a deep passion for supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. With over 7 years of experience as a CNA, including time in labor and delivery, I witnessed firsthand the gaps in support and advocacy for moms and birthing people. That led me to becoming a Birth Doula in 2020 and a Postpartum Doula in 2024. I take a holistic, heart-centered approach, weaving in meditation, movement, sound baths, and herbalism to honor your unique journey. When I’m not supporting clients or studying, I’m singing 90s R&B at karaoke, watching Philly sports, or adding to my fragrance collection. I’d be honored to walk alongside you!

Hi, I’m Grace — a certified postpartum doula, birth doula, newborn care specialist, and infant sleep coach serving families in Central Texas for over 5 years. I provide calm, structured, modern support that helps new parents feel confident, rested, and truly cared for during pregnancy, birth, and the fourth trimester. My approach blends evidence-based newborn care with a warm, judgment-free presence. Whether you need birth support, overnight care, sleep shaping, feeding support, or simply someone steady in your corner, I step in to make this season smoother, lighter, and more supported. If you’re looking for reliable, nurturing care and a peaceful start for your family, I’d love to help.

I'm a pro-life, pro-woman, Christian doula, birth keeper and birth photographer. You'll see on my profile that I don't have any "credentials" because I don't believe in needing permission to sit with women and support them. I take guidance from trusted mentors and seek education from reliable sources but I'm not bound by any particular organization or association. My only loyalties are to God and the women I serve. Aside from talking about and attending birth, I love reading, writing, sewing, swimming, baking, and spending time outside with my family.

As a full-spectrum doula, I bring a unique and comprehensive skill set to the Central Texas community. My background as a Navy veteran, Army spouse, and mother of two has equipped me with a deep understanding of family dynamics and the importance of resilient support systems. I specialize in the mental and emotional health aspects of perinatal care, offering a supportive framework that addresses the full range of outcomes. My expertise includes bereavement support, specialized care for pediatric special needs, and a practiced approach to all birth types, from spontaneous labor to planned cesarean sections. My mission is to provide evidence-based, empathetic care that promotes positive mental health and well-being, ensuring you feel empowered and respected throughout your journey.

My career has been dedicated to providing comprehensive support to new families during one of the most transformative time in life. With a 25-year career as a Early Childhood Educator, the past 10-years has been as a Nanny & Family Assistant while training and certifying for Holistic Doula specializing in postpartum care, lactation consultant, certified Postpartum Nutritionist, and Advanced Newborn Care Specialist. My approach to support your recovery and healing, is grounded in nutrition for postpartum healing. I provide experience, evidence-based compassionate care, and general help so you can get some rest and feel supported. There is a list of services I provide on my website: www.DoulaKaiewe.com I provide personal consultations via video chat to discuss the type of care that will work best for you.

Hi! My name is Brianna Sohns - a wife, doula, and owner of wonderfully Made Doula Services. As a doula, my heart is to provide compassionate birth support that honors God’s design for motherhood. I believe that every birth is a sacred moment—uniquely beautiful, deeply powerful, and worthy of celebration. My mission is to walk alongside families with encouragement, practical guidance, and unwavering care so that mothers feel confident, fathers feel equipped, and babies are welcomed in peace and love. I value faith, compassion, and integrity, and it’s my joy to empower families with the knowledge and reassurance they need to embrace their birth journey.

At Rooted in Care, we believe families deserve honest information, steady support, and the space to make decisions that truly align with their values. We understand that navigating pregnancy and birth can feel complex, especially within healthcare systems that don’t always leave room for meaningful conversation or clarity. Our role as doulas is to walk alongside you with calm, knowledgeable support. We provide evidence-based information, emotional reassurance, and practical comfort so you feel confident in your choices—whether you are planning a hospital birth, navigating medical complexities, or exploring alternative care options. We believe in balance. Rooted in Care supports collaboration with medical providers while also centering your right to informed consent and respectful care. We don’t approach birth from fear or from blind trust, but from understanding—helping you feel grounded, prepared, and supported through each stage of the process. Families often choose Rooted in Care when they want a doula who listens closely, communicates clearly, and remains steady in moments that feel uncertain. We are committed to showing up with integrity, presence, and compassion before, during, and after birth. Rooted in Care may not be the right fit for everyone—and that’s okay. The families we work with value honesty, professionalism, and a support person who is both nurturing and well-informed. If that’s what you’re seeking, we would be honored to support you on your journey.

I am a mother of five and have supported women on their motherhood journey since high school. I often feel that doula work chose me and not the other way around. Having attended over 150 deliveries as a professional DONA-trained doula, I have experience in various births and know the power this moment carries. I have pursued a unique area of study in anxiety and sensory sensitivity. Along with this, I have extensive experience in: *IVF journeys *VBAC *Mothers of Advanced Maternal Age *Hospital Deliveries *High Risk Delivery *Successful use of Epidural *Navigating home birth transfers *Mothers with sensory needs and/or need for mental health support I would love to set up a time to talk about how I may be able to help support you during your pregnancy and birth!

I was inspired to pursue birth work after becoming a parent and experiencing how powerful and transformative the birthing process is. I also do this work because it brings so much joy and connection. I believe that supporting families during such a vulnerable and sacred passage in their lives, providing access to care, educating and overall empowering birthing people to trust their bodies and intuition is truly fundamental for healthy maternal/ birthing outcomes. I am the proud mama of a magical 3 year old. In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors, hiking and watching the wild dance of our trees. I love eating and getting lost in a good book. I was born in Guatemala and moved to the states when I was 7 years old. Spanish is my first language. I got a Bachelors in Marketing at Missouri State University and moved to Austin shortly thereafter. I have been married for 6 years to a man who makes me laugh. I look forward to working with you and your family!

I am Childbirth/Breastfeeding Educator and Postpartum doula with over 25 years experience serving the North Austin area. I offer daytime support and education to families during the first weeks postpartum. My goal is to help new parents navigate this new territory with evidence based information and non-judgemental support and encouragement.

Hi! I'm Lacey Dowlearn! I am a Birth Boot Camp certified Childbirth Educator and Certified Birth Doula serving Round Rock families. My journey in birth work began in 2007 with the first pregancy in my group of friends. She had mentioned wanting a midwife and I started researching. I had caught the birth bug and was hooked! The idea of women helping women made my heart happy. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to be an apprentice midwife at several freestanding birth centers; labor support for homebirth, birth center and hospital clients in Round Rock and surrounding areas and have recently certified as a CBE and Doula with Birth Boot Camp. I've been married to my partner, Danny, since April 2008. He has supported me through this journey and is a great partner. I am a mom to two beautiful little girls, Annie and Jane. Both of my births took place in my home accompanied by a midwife, my very first midwifery preceptor. I breastfed both of my babies for 2 years, tandem for 6 months. That was such a wonderful and bonding experience. I want to provide the best care to each mother who trusts me with her birth experience, whether that be in hospital or at home. I believe that having a positive birth experience is the right of every woman. I will strive to help each mother and baby have a special delivery.

Hi, I’m Kimberly, a Texas native and certified postpartum doula who’s passionate about helping families find peace, confidence, and rest during those tender first weeks at home. Caring for babies has been a part of my life since I was 16, and over the years it’s become more than something I love, it’s truly my calling. For the past two years, I’ve supported parents through the ups and downs of the fourth trimester, offering gentle guidance, emotional support, and hands-on newborn care. Whether I’m helping a baby settle to sleep, giving parents time to rest, or simply listening when the day feels overwhelming, my goal is always the same: to make sure you feel cared for, capable, and never alone in this transition. I’m BLS certified, and I bring both skill and heart into every home I enter. Each family’s journey looks different, but every one deserves to be met with compassion, calm, and understanding.

Hi, my name is Lauren, and I have been working in childcare for over 15 years. For the past five years, I have been specializing in overnight infant care. What makes me your best choice?! I am great at what I do and tailor the experience to meet your needs. I am able to provide expert infant care while establishing safe and healthy sleep habits. I also offer guidance, education, emotional support, and general help filling the many needs that arise while adjusting to a newborn. There is no need too big or task too small for me to tackle or help you navigate. I entered this niche of child care due to my love for babies. However, I quickly realized I have a passion for supporting parents as well. I have many hours of experience helping families navigate the life altering transition of a new baby at home. Whether you want newborn care to catch up on rest, emotional support and guidance during this new phase of life, or an extra set of hands around the house, I am your girl! By the time I finish a shift, my goal is to have parents ready to start a new day feeling renewed, refreshed, and confident (as well as the added bonus of a tidy home). If I have not met that goal, I will work with you in order to change tactics and adapt to what you need. If my services are what you are looking for, please reach out via phone call, text, or email!

I am Drea Kelly, the founder of River Wild Doula Services, and I am so happy you're here! I'd love to share a bit of my story in hopes of someday hearing some of yours. ​ It has been my joy and privilege to partner with families as a doula for the past 18 years, serving them as they make some of the biggest transitions in life. I have always known I was called to this work... to hold space in the sacred, in-between places where we are transformed by the rivers running wild through us. It is such an honor to be invited onto this holy ground. ​ I believe parents have innate wisdom and intuition that can and should be trusted as they navigate the myriad of decisions in the childbearing year and beyond. As your doula I am here to be your guide and coach through those decisions, while providing the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual support you need along the way. I started River Wild with the prayer that families would be able to access the kind of care that empowered them to birth their way and raise their families with confidence. ​ I live in Cedar Park, Texas with my incredible husband who stays home with our three delicious kiddos full-time. Family hikes, cozy evenings and a good card game are just a few of our favorite things. I am currently studying to become a midwife and I am thrilled to bring this elevated level of knowledge and care to my doula families as I train in this deeper wisdom of "being with woman". ​ I can't wait to chat and hear your story!

My name is Meghan Boudreau - Doula and Placenta Encapsulation specialist with River Wild. I am so honored to be a part of this amazing community and am looking forward to serving you! ​ I live in Leander, TX with my amazing husband Colten, and our three wildly, wonderful children. On any given day, you will find our home full of giggles, singing, dance parties, coffee aromas, and home cooked meals - just the way we like it. If you ask my children what I do, they will tell you I “help mamas get the babies out”. Bless. ​ I was submerged into the birth world at a very young age, witnessing home births and having a deep relationship with our family midwife. Labor, placentas, and babies were very normalized topics in our house. I had the honor of witnessing and assisting at my own mother's home births, and thus, my passion and desire to serve expecting mamas was born! ​ I believe birth should always be navigated with women at the helm. I believe every woman has the freedom and maternal instinct to move, dance, laugh, cry, or roar as she finds her own unique path through labor. My job as a doula is to hold safe space for her to do just that. To come alongside each family with full acceptance, compassion, and advocacy so that they feel freedom that is rightfully theirs.

I am deeply passionate about helping families as you welcome a new baby home, be it your first or your fourth. I believe families come in many forms and focus on empowering and uplifting each member with caring hands-on support and evidence-based and culturally aware information and resources. I embrace your journey and support you in finding your voice, strength, and confidence as parents. As a self-proclaimed nerd and avid learner, I have attended additional trainings, seminars, and conferences on perinatal mood & anxiety disorders, trauma informed care, and pregnancy and infant loss and all things newborn care. I also hold an MS Ed in Higher Education.

As a doula, my mission is to support and empower parents throughout their journey into parenthood. I believe in the significance of providing personalized, compassionate care that honors each family's unique needs and preferences. My approach is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported during this transformative time. I strive to create a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where parents can feel confident, informed, and secure in their choices. With a deep commitment to advocacy, education, and emotional guidance, I am dedicated to helping parents navigate the challenges and joys of childbirth and early parenthood with strength, confidence, and positivity.
