Hello my name is Nia, I was introduced to the wonderful world of birth work during my sister’s pregnancy. As I was helping the practitioner, she hinted at the fact that she was a Doula. Adding, that I would do well in that field due to my caring nature. After more research, I began seeing the need for this service and fell in love with this industry. In 2019, I became a Dona trained Birth Doula, obtained certifications in: Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), Postpartum Doula(PPD), Basic Life Support(BLS), Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP), CPR, First Aid and trained in Benkung Belly Binding. I’ve had the pleasure of supporting parents with their newborns days and nights, provided care for families across states, families with multiples, parents with disabilities and supported births in both hospitals and birth centers. I’ve learned to be more understanding, open to new ideas and sensitive in different situations. It’s everything I thought it would be and more. I still find the time to be a supportive wife to my husband, homeschool my son, sing , brush up on my Spanish even play Pickle ball. I hope to support as many families as I can while enjoying this adventure, looking forward to being apart of your families’ journey!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Nia as our night nurse coordinator. From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly supportive during such an important transition for our family. She matched us with Susie and Tona, who were both absolutely wonderful, and together they helped us establish a healthy sleeping routine for our son, Miles. Nia consistently checked in, made the process feel seamless, and truly cared about making sure we felt comfortable and supported. Thanks to her coordination and guidance, we now feel confident and settled into a great routine at home. We are so grateful for the care, communication, and overall experience. I would highly recommend Nia to any family looking for compassionate, reliable overnight newborn support.

I became a birth doula because I am in awe of the power of women. It is an honor to help you tune into the wisdom of your body, and to support your family as they learn how to support you. I help you find your breath when things get big. I remind your partner how to hold you. I help create a quiet, womb-like space—dim lights, soft sounds, warm water, and anything else that helps you feel safe, grounded, and undisturbed. I attend home births, birth centers, and hospital births. Wherever you feel safe is the right place to have your baby. My job is to help regulate the space, so that you can surrender. I offer peace of mind, solid education, and steady presence so you can meet this experience with courage. My care is personalized and client-led. I follow your rhythm. My approach is grounded in the belief that women already have everything they need within them to safely and instinctively bring their babies into the world. Whether this is your first baby or your sixth, your birth matters. Each one is a new journey, a new chance to grow and expand and meet yourself in a whole new way.

Hannah is a fantastic doula! She has so much information to share in the prenatal appointments that made me feel that much more prepared. She was present during my long labor - day and night - and offered so much support to me and my husband during the process. And her helping hand during my postpartum period was much appreciated as well. I'm so glad she was a part of my birth experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, caring, and dutiful doula.

Hello! I'm Madison, I'm a trained Birth and Postpartum Doula; I am located in San Antonio and serve all of San Antonio and the surrounding communities. I'm passionate about supporting families through one of the most transformative experiences of their lives: childbirth. As a doula, I provide comprehensive support to expectant mothers and their partners before, during, and after childbirth, including invaluable postpartum care. My journey into doula work began after I had my 3rd child and had the amazing opportunity to have a doula for her birth. It made such a difference in my birth experience and helped me avoid having another traumatic birthing experience. Since then, I've dedicated myself to empowering birthing individuals to make informed decisions about their care and to advocate for their birth preferences. I specialize in military family births and postpartum because I was a military spouse and know the hardships that come along with it. In addition to offering emotional and physical support during labor, I also specialize in postpartum care, recognizing the importance of nurturing and assisting families in the delicate weeks following childbirth. From providing breastfeeding support and assisting with newborn care to offering practical assistance with household tasks, I aim to ease the transition into parenthood and ensure that families feel supported and cared for during this vulnerable time. I believe that postpartum support is just as vital as prenatal and birth support, and I'm committed to providing compassionate care that honors the unique needs of each family. Whether you're navigating the challenges of breastfeeding, struggling with postpartum mood disorders, or simply in need of a listening ear and a helping hand, I'm here to offer nonjudgmental support and guidance every step of the way. If you're interested in learning more about how I can support you during your pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum journey, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would be honored to be a part of your birthing team.

What a joy Meredeth is! Warm, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. I truly could not have asked for a better night nanny. From the very beginning I felt at ease knowing my baby was in her care. Not only does she provide excellent infant care among her many talents, she is also a wonderful listening ear and friend to her clients. She will be greatly missed around our home but I am so happy to have met her and learned so much from her. If you’re apprehensive about hiring help, Meredeth will certainly disarm any anxieties you may have and give you the gentle care and trust all new parents need.

Hi! My name is Annie Miller, I apprenticed under an elder doula in my area and have attended 14 births in the last 8 months. I believe that birth is sacred and the mother knows what’s best for her and the baby. I would be honored to support you and your family.

Annie was an incredible support before, during, and after my birth! She met with my husband and I several times before my birth and ensured that we had the opportunity to share our desires and vision for the birth experience. She is empathetic and encouraging and always positive while also being realistic. She was the first member of my birth team we called when I went into labor and she came to our house promptly even though it was the middle of the night. From the minute she answered the phone I felt her calm and steady support. Once she arrived, she immediately jumped into action to support me with both verbal affirmations and hands-on work like hip squeezes and reminders to keep my muscles relaxed. She also encouraged my husband in his support of me and deftly gave him suggestions when he was unsure. (As this was our first baby, this was very reassuring for him, as neither he nor I had experienced birth before.) All throughout my long labor, Annie remained a stable, reassuring presence who helped me stay in the zone and always affirmed that I was strong and capable and was going to meet my baby soon! She and my husband were extremely hands on through the end of my pushing phase. Annie helped me get into different positions and used strategies to help me push more effectively. After my baby was born, Annie helped me to recover and clean up. She made me feel strong and beautiful as I came back to myself following birth. Throughout the whole birth, Annie was a great support and presence in encouraging me and jumping in without hesitation to help in whatever way she could. I highly recommend her as a doula!

Hi, I’m Reyna, and I’m honored to support families through one of the most meaningful transitions of their lives. I am a DONA-certified birth and postpartum doula, as well as a certified childbirth educator, dedicated to providing holistic, evidence-based, and personalized care. I am CPR First-Aid and AED certified. My background includes extensive experience as a nanny, where I developed a deep understanding of newborn care, child development, and the day-to-day needs of growing families. I also have experience working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), which strengthened my ability to provide patient, adaptable, and family-centered support. As your doula, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where you feel heard, informed, and confident in your choices. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum recovery, or adjusting to life with your newborn, I am here to walk alongside you with encouragement and care, and to ease and anxiety and fears. I believe every family deserves to feel supported, respected, and nurtured—and it would be a privilege to be part of your journey.

Reyna was honestly such a huge help for our family, especially in those first few weeks. She supported me with breastfeeding in a way that felt patient and encouraging, never pushy or overwhelming. Whenever I was struggling or unsure, she took the time to walk me through things and made me feel a lot more confident. Her night nanny support was a lifesaver too. Being able to rest knowing our baby was in such caring and capable hands made a world of difference. She handled everything so calmly and gently, and I always felt at ease. What really makes Reyna stand out is how real and caring she is. She shows up with so much warmth and genuinely wants to help. It never felt like just hiring someone—it felt like having someone in our corner. Shr was always there to pick up the phone or answer a text. I’d absolutely recommend her to any family needing extra support.

Hi! I'm a postpartum doula building on a lifetime of loving babies and littles. Beginning with babysitting as a young teen, my fascination with and delight in tiny humans has fueled much of my volunteer and ministry work over the years. Now that I'm mom to 3 pretty incredible young adults, I was thrilled to find the field of postpartum doula work that is such a natural fit! I did my CAPPA training in May 2024, and completed the certification process in June 2025. What a gift and honor it is to be invited into a client’s home and to support and encourage new families as they make the transition to adding a new little person to their mix! Remembering so well how it feels to be a new mom, I love to help make life as easy as I can during this sweet and exhausting time! Cedar Park has been home for 11 years. Outside of my doula work, I'm cheering on my kids' various activities, having a great meal with my husband, or curled up with a good book.

Tara worked with us as a postpartum doula for our newborn baby earlier this year (2025) for around 2 months. I would highly recommend Tara as your postpartum doula. The reasons for my recommendation are as follows: 1. Tara is a very good doula. She is knowledgeable, experienced, and she genuinely loves caring for babies. She is evidence-based in her approaches, and she is a good teacher too -- she always explains her methods and ideas in a very clear manner. For example, she taught us about baby sleep cycles and how to tell which phase the baby is in. This practical knowledge really helped us understand our baby's sleep patterns. 2. Tara is very professional and always courteous. She is very polite, and has a warm personality. It is very easy to talk to Tara, from baby related topics to interesting experiences in life, and everything in between. 3. Tara is a trustworthy person. When Tara worked with us, I always felt very comfortable leaving my baby with Tara. I know that my baby will be in good hands, and that gives me peace of mind, and I can focus on running errands or getting some sleep. I highly recommend Tara to any family seeking caring, professional postpartum 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.
