Desiree was with me through my entire pregnancy! She helped to advocate for me, helped me make educated and informed decisions when it came to my pregnancy, and was wonderful when it came time for me to have my son. She helped to keep me calm, communicate my needs to the nurses and make sure everyone was on the same page so that I could be focus on my birth. I absolutely recommend Desiree! She is caring, supportive, and has a fiery passion for your birthing needs!

Hi! My name is Rebeca Gedeon and I am a certified birth doula located in Weatherford, TX. I love supporting moms in all labor and delivery locations, and with any kind of provider. My first experience with birth was when my mom delivered my brother under the supervision of a traditional midwife over 24 years ago. I have since had 6 children of my own, and those labors and deliveries fueled my passion for supporting moms. I have personal experience with twins and NICU. I have supported moms through their dream births as well as birth plans that needed adjustment for medically necessary reasons. One of my biggest strengths is supporting mom in what they wish, but also being able to slow down and explain what is going on if plans have to adjust rapidly. I will labor with you at home if you desire, even if you plan to transfer to another location, and I will follow you into the OR if needed and desired. I am not only a certified labor and birth doula, I have added training with body balancing techniques to help you and your body navigate labor. I am familiar with Spinning Babies techniques. I am a StillBirthday student doula. And I am currently in training to become a placenta encapsulation specialist. I am also a Christian doula and love to incorporate quiet prayer and intercession into my care when it is desired. I've watched the Lord work miracles for families and believe in the power of prayer in the labor space. When I am not at a birth I spend my time homeschooling my children and playing with my children. I also greatly enjoy floral work, knitting and crocheting, and baking!

As a Certified Doula, I love walking beside families through the transitions of pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I believe having access to positive support during those times contributes not only to better birth outcomes, but stronger bonds within the family and community as well. A mother of six myself, and while I have many interests and hobbies, like gardening and reading (SO much reading!) my knowledge around birth and motherhood has been a constant thread of connection with those I meet. I am honored when families value my input by bringing their questions to me! I am always seeking to learn more and have no hesitation in pointing clients to other resources if I am unsure of an answer. I strive to encourage an informed, prepared, and calm birth environment for my clients, meeting challenges that arise with patience and proven techniques.

Hello my name is Ariana! I'd describe my personality as kind-hearted, open-minded, and passionate. I love working with infants because I’m able to build special bonds with them, and watch them grow and reach new milestones. It's exciting when you can look back and see the wonderful impact you had on a baby’s life. I started working with children as a part-time nanny in 2016. My first job in childcare industry began in 2018 at Primrose. I have over 6 years of specialized experience with newborns, infants, and toddlers. I also have experience with all other ages throughout my time as a professional nanny and postpartum doula. In my spare time, I like to bake, cook, and watch the little ones for my friends and family! One thing you should know about me is that I absolutely love and adore children. I will be there to help you and your family as much as I can and treat your baby as if they were my own. Thank you in advance for this opportunity!

Ariana came highly recommended. We loved having Ariana as our night nanny!! She cared for my twins. So gentle and patient even on the roughest nights!! She kept up with their feeding schedule. Me and my husband were able to sleep and work without having to worry. She’s the best of the best. We recommend her for anyone needing help with an infant, twins, etc.

I have a strong passion for helping families achieve the birth they desire to have and I believe that education is pivotal. My ultimate goal is to help you feel empowered, to help you have a voice in the decision making process, and for you to feel peace with your birthing experience. I provide unbiased, non-judgemental support during pregnancy, birth, and the immediate post-partum period to families from all walks of life for this reason. I would be honored to serve you and your family during this time.

Recent review

During the time, Ayanna was my doula, I was very thankful for her. She is very knowledgeable in her practice, and keeps a professional composure. She is trust worthy, and was a huge help during my last trimester (when I met Ayanna). I am grateful for her during pre-labor, during labor, and postpartum. I still buy her yoni herbs, which I enjoy. It really helps with soreness and inflammation, which is due to coitus. I love that she provides brochures full of information about each product she promotes. I trust her products, as they are holistic and natural. She does not compromise her ethics, nor her core values.

I am a new Doula and have completed a Dona approved Doula training. My work background is mostly rooted in hospitality, customer service and yoga. I have always had a passion for caring for others and creating a fulfilling experience. Birth is something I am in awe of and I'm so excited to support women and babies during these life changing moments! When I'm not at work, I can be found cooking a wholesome meal, reading a novel with a strong female lead or doing yoga. I'm a California native so I love spending time outdoors hiking/running, it's a great way to relieve stress and to feel accomplished after a long trek!

Highly recommend taking a pre-natal yoga class with Krista! She came to my home and guided me through a gentle flow. As a first time mom and someone who never exercised regularly, this was just what I needed. Will definitely be scheduling more sessions :)

A program rooted in the cultural, historical, and spiritual traditions of African American midwifery and birth work. I became a doula because every birthing person deserves to feel seen, supported, and spiritually connected throughout their journey. I know the difference it makes to birth in a space that feels warm, honoring, and sacred. My vision is to offer families not only emotional and spiritual support, but also culturally rooted healing tools that nurture the womb, body, and soul. Birth is not just a moment! It is a portal! My purpose is to ensure that every mother steps through it feeling whole, powerful, and profoundly connected to her divine nature.

Recent review

I am honored to have crossed paths with Genicia. She is truly a blessing in my life. I shared my pregnancy journey and expressed my desire for a holistic doula. Well, let me tell you, she was incredibly responsive to my texts and calls, no matter the time of day. She is incredibly knowledgeable and always has a listening ear, ready to provide solutions. She is not afraid to let me know that certain aspects of my pregnancy concerns do not fall within her scope of practice and that WE should discuss them with my OB. I truly appreciate her willingness to provide me with a curated tea I take daily, affirmations to boost my spirits, and a listening ear to my concerns. If you are in Texas area and seeking a knowledgeable, understanding, and holistic doula, she will always be my top choice. I still have a few more months of my pregnancy journey, but I am confident that you will see more written reviews from me as we explore the transitioning times of birthing and postpartum together.
