Howdy! I’m so glad you’re here! Birth and postpartum are some of the most vulnerable times in someone’s life and if we work together I’m likely going to see you naked to some degree, so it’s only fair you know about me too! I grew up in the Dallas area and have been in Austin since 2014. I came for college and south Austin has always been my home. I was a nanny for a family while I was working on my undergraduate degree in social work with minors in psychology and women & gender studies - they introduced me to what a doula was. I am one of the lucky people on this planet who has truly found their calling and can honestly say they love their job. I’m also a Licensed Social Worker in both Texas and Colorado and focused my studies in graduate school on perinatal mental health and mood disorders and the mind-body connection of somatic therapy. I believe the birth of a child, and rebirth of humans in the transition to becoming a parent, are sacred and beautiful experiences. Knowing birth is strenuous on the physical body as well as requiring an immense amount of mental strength, I bring in knowledge from regulating your central nervous system while still focusing on mind-body-soul-connection. Having a strong support to provide knowledge, hold space, and honor the process is key, and what I love most about birthwork. I am also passionate about the postpartum period to help families navigate the transitions of a new parental identity, preparing parent’s relationship for changes, caring for themselves, and setting up realistic expectations for what the future will bring. I come into the birthing space with no judgment, and am fully present for whatever decisions you make during this process. You can catch me around Austin climbing rocks, crocheting at Barton Springs, reading at West China Tea Company, and traveling with my partner, Haley, and our 2 dogs, Norman and Elio. I look forward to working in community with you!

Hi There, I'm Lacey at Heritage Oak Doula Services. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season with encouragement, evidence-based information, and hands-on care. My heart is to serve families in a Christ-centered way, reminding parents that God beautifully designed their bodies and their babies for this sacred journey.

Bridget is the founder and owner of Abundant Joy. With a passion for working with and advocating for people of all ages and backgrounds, she has taught in the public school system, assisted in resettling refugees, counseled trafficked women, and has worked to raise well-rounded, healthy children in her role as a professional nanny. With over 21 years of experience caring for children and providing education and support to the parents she worked alongside, many of Bridget’s close friends requested her support during their birth. Bridget was often asked to stay overnight to provide friends with her steady, upbeat, and positive presence–in their living room or in a hospital room. These long nights allowed her to listen to the birthing mamas, help them sort out what their goals and options were, and allowed Bridget to advocate for them to make sure they felt comfortable and had their needs met. Bridget has found that women have more positive birth outcomes when a doula is present throughout labor and delivery. These experiences made it clear to Bridget that her talents and passion lie in doula work. Birth is unpredictable by nature, and Bridget has worked with single moms, families, and teams of medical professionals in order to help parents to be present in the moment. Incorporating the baby’s father throughout the entire process leads to a successful team effort where both mom and dad feel connected to the baby–from the very beginning to the birth. She believes that women can feel confident and empowered during their birth experiences with the right kind of unbiased support and knowledge. Bridget provides guidance through evidence-based education, as well as encouragement and compassion throughout the birth journey. From her varied and deep experiences working with parents and their children, Bridget is adept at helping parents navigate postpartum schedules and transitions. She also assists the mother with her newborn as she heals and adapts to life with a new baby. Looking forward to being a part of your joyful birth! Bridget has extensive experience supporting families in hospitals, birth centers, and home births. She is skilled in supporting mothers with Vaginal Births, VBACS, Cesareans, high-risk pregnancies, stillbirths, and twin births. "The joy of the Lord is my strength." Nehemiah 8:10

Hi! My name is Kaitlyn, and I am a postpartum doula serving North Austin and the surrounding areas. I have a background in psychology and nannying, and I currently work as a postpartum nurse caring for mothers and newborns in a hospital. While I value the medical care provided in the hospital setting, I believe that postpartum support in the comfort of one's own home is where true healing, confidence, and family integration can flourish. My passion is helping mothers feel nurtured, supported, and cared for during the fourth trimester. My goal is to create a calm and grounded space for families seeking extra hands on support with newborn care, feeding assistance, light household tasks, meal preparation, and emotional support as they adjust to life with a new baby. When I'm not working, you can find me reading, spending time outdoors, and enjoying nature. I am honored to walk alongside families during this transformative season and provide compassionate, personalized care every step of the way :).

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.

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!

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!

Texas-based birth doula Trauma-informed, culturally rooted care Supporting physiological birth & informed choice Wife + adoptive mama 🤍 Now booking 2026 births

Hi there! My name is Ashleigh Berry and I was born and raised in San Antonio! I am a mother, doula, wife, Jesus lover, gym shark and pastry connoisseur. I love all things nature and outdoors - minus the heat and mosquitos. My family and my faith are a huge part of my life. When I’m not at a birth, at church or in the gym, you can find me dancing in the kitchen with my hubby and toddler. We’re a spontaneous and adventurous family, always trying new things and constantly making s’mores in the backyard. Life is a precious gift and I’m always finding ways to soak it all in. The deep desire to serve and love on mamas during a crucial time in their lives. That’s what brought me to doula work. The longing to help make every birth beautiful - to help every birthing person be heard and cared for. Before I was a doula, I worked briefly at the Freeman Coliseum and a bridal expo! But the Lord called me elsewhere. I love what I do - it would be a dream come true to be able to do this forever.
