Welcome to you and your family! Being a parent is hard and can feel overwhelming even on the good days! You may feel like you have tried everything to feed your crying baby including changing nursing positions, latching deeply, or trying a new bottle. I am here to tell you that you are doing all the right things! Your attention and dedication to their needs shows how much you love them. Your early struggles do not mean that your infant feeding goals are doomed to fail. I know that you are a strong, capable person and are a family who will succeed.

Let’s work together to navigate the challenges, explore possible solutions, and discover tools to help empower you towards your goals!

Hi, my name is Carolyn. I am a registered IBCLC living in Houston, Texas. I am a "retired" engineer and mom to four wonderful kids. My passion for breastfeeding and supporting other moms began after experiencing the support of a lactation consultant myself. I have had four unique breastfeeding experiences myself including bottle refusal, returning to work, NICU stays, premature babies, twins, and even hospitalization due to RSV. It is my goal to help you where you are at with evidence based knowledge to achieve your infant feeding goals whatever they might be.

I'm Dee Art Doula, the owner of We Do'ula verything and a certified birth and postpartum doula through DONA International. With over 16 years of experience in labor & delivery and healthcare, I have always been passionate about maternal health and supporting women during the sacred transition into motherhood. As a mother of two,l am deeply aware of the maternal health crisis affecting women of color in the United States. This awareness inspired me to assist, educate, and advocate for change by supporting women before, during, and after childbirth.

La historia de mi emprendimiento comenzó con mi propia maternidad. A mis veintitantos tuve a mis hijas, y la gran diferencia fue el respaldo de mi familia: Mujeres que me sostuvieron y Hombres que me protegieron. Ese acompañamiento transformó mi experiencia y me enseñó que maternar no debería vivirse nunca en aislamiento. Años después, emigré. Como migrante, descubrí lo opuesto: la soledad de las familias hispanas que gestan y crían lejos de casa. Sin tribu, sin idioma común, en un sistema de salud eficiente pero impersonal. Esa realidad me llevó a un 'ajá' interior: Mi vocación era crear para otras lo que yo había recibido: Un NIDO de confianza, cuidado y resiliencia. Ofrezco programas que integran mi formación como doula, educadora perinatal y especialista en procesos de indagación personal. Lo que hace única esta propuesta es la capacidad de tender puentes: entre lo médico y lo humano, entre la cultura de origen y la de acogida, entre la soledad y la comunidad. Acompaño a las familias para que vivan la maternidad con confianza y resiliencia, y en ese proceso contribuyo a sembrar generaciones más empáticas y comunidades más cohesionadas.

Peace! Birth, magnanimous as it is, is one moment that comes after months of mental and spiritual preparation.
