Hello, my name is Katie. I’m a Licensed Nurse, Postpartum Doula and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist with over fifteen years of infant-care experience and a passion for sharing my expertise with new parents. Shortly after becoming a mother in 2013, I realized I was called to support women during the early stages of motherhood. I believe that when a woman becomes a mother, she is forever changed, and the new instincts she acquires are powerful. My team of compassionate postpartum doulas and newborn care specialists provides in-home postpartum doula support to families in Houston, Austin & San Antonio-New Braunfels areas.

Wishing you all the best, my name is Tina Anderson. For the last 35 years I have been a registered occupational therapist, licensed in Texas and specializing in pediatrics and women's health. From the perspective of a mother, I have recognized the importance of the parent's mental and physical well-being. As a result, I have recently completed postpartum doula and lactation consultant training. While preparing for the international lactation examination, I continue to serve in each of these areas and feel passionate about supporting families transitioning from neonatal intensive care (NICU) to home. The exhaustion and emotional and physical trauma of parents at this stage is profound. My training in these areas allows me to weave these skills to support parents and newborns of all levels of need as a single provider. Embracing families from birth through early childhood with ease and compassion is my passion. My experience serving children and adults who experience sensory processing differences allows me to approach parents and children with an understanding that is not commonly found. Families have complex lives and needs, which I feel equipped to satisfy. Kayaking and aerial dance are some of my favorite ways to spend time with my family and friends.

Hi I'm Kyndal!My path into postpartum care began in 2017 as a nanny for families with newborns. I had the privilege of growing alongside many families during their baby's first year of life, most of them first-time parents. While I loved caring for newborns, I quickly realized my true passion was educating and supporting parents as they transitioned from the hospital to home. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of families, including those welcoming premature babies, growing their families through adoption or surrogacy, and, most recently, caring for twins and multiples, a specialty that has become one of my most recent favorites. In 2021, I completed my training through Newborn Care Solutions to become a Newborn Care Specialist, allowing me to deepen my knowledge and provide even more comprehensive support to families. Then, in 2024, while working with a family on newborn sleep, I was given the opportunity to pursue my certification as a Postpartum Doula. After becoming certified, I retired from full-time nannying to dedicate my career exclusively to overnight postpartum care. My career and entrepreneurial journey have uniquely positioned me to support families beyond the traditional six-week postpartum period. Rather than offering short-term care, I work with families for 16 to 21 weeks. This extended support allows us to establish healthy newborn sleep habits from the very beginning while giving parents a trusted newborn guide they can rely on during one of the biggest transitions of their lives. My goal is to support your entire family, not just your baby. From your in-home newborn care and postpartum preparation class during pregnancy to my very last overnight, I am there to support your physical recovery, emotional well-being, and growing confidence as a parent. I don't believe my role ends when things become more challenging. Babies change quickly, and every stage brings new questions, new routines, and new adjustments. I want to walk alongside your family through those changes, helping you troubleshoot, adapt, and discover what works best for your unique home. When my time with your family comes to an end, my hope is that you don't feel overwhelmed or uncertain. Instead, I want you to feel rested, supported, educated, If you're looking for a postpartum doula who prioritizes your recovery while helping your baby build healthy sleep habits from the very beginning, I'd love to connect. I specialize in long-term support, partnering with families for a minimum of 16 weeks to create lasting routines and confidence.

Hi, I'm Anita Hermosilla (she/her), a Birth Doula, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, and Community Birth Worker based in Austin, Texas. I provide continuous, holistic, evidence-informed support in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, helping families feel empowered, informed, and deeply supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. My work is rooted in both professional training and lived experience. I immigrated to the United States from Chile without the support of nearby family or a community to lean on. Becoming a mother while navigating a new country profoundly shaped the way I understand birth, healing, and the importance of compassionate support. I am the mother of three children: my oldest daughter was born through an unmedicated vaginal birth, while my twins were born by cesarean birth and spent time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Experiencing both an empowering physiological birth and the unexpected challenges of a surgical birth and NICU journey gave me a unique perspective on the many paths birth can take. These experiences taught me firsthand how important it is to feel heard, respected, and supported—regardless of how your birth unfolds. Every family's journey is different, and I believe every family deserves compassionate, nonjudgmental care. Since 2020, I have been a DONA International-trained Birth Doula with additional training in Rebozo techniques, Placenta Medicine, Sound Healing, and Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation Circle Facilitation. My work with Mama Sana Vibrant Woman, serving families throughout Central Texas, has deepened my commitment to reproductive justice, culturally responsive care, and supporting families from diverse backgrounds. Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, an epidural, a scheduled cesarean, a VBAC, or simply hoping to feel more confident and prepared, my goal is to help you feel safe, informed, and empowered every step of the way. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you welcome your baby into the world.

Hello! My name is Saskia, and I am so excited to be a part of your pregnancy/postpartum journey! I have been a Registered Nurse for five years working in Postpartum and Labor units across America. My experience with high-risk mothers & newborns has helped me see just how special the birthing experience is. Seeing couples turn into a family for the first time, or seeing siblings introduced to their new brother/sister warms my heart to no end. It’s an amazing feeling to know that a new bundle of joy has entered the world and that I had the opportunity to be a part of it! While my years working in the hospital provided great learning experiences, I realized that my passion lies with mothers and newborns in their home environment. I decided to complete my training as a Certified Postpartum Doula, and have been able to support families with lactation support, early sleep training, soothing techniques, feeding schedules and all that postpartum brings for the last two years. I love being able to encourage and uplift the entire family as we work through the fourth trimester together! I also am a yoga/breath-work instructor, and specialize in infant and pregnant women. I live in Austin, and as of now only have a fur baby. I grew up overseas in Europe until I was 17 years old. Growing up in Europe showed me how precious life is and can be. It taught me not to take anything for granted. When I am not working, I am hiking with my pup, doing arts and crafts, exploring new places, swimming, hanging out with my family at the ranch, meeting up with friends, or doing yoga. I would love to be a part of your journey and help welcome your baby into your beautiful home!
