I became a doula because I believe that every single birthing person deserves to be heard, supported, and surrounded by love.

I prefer home births and birthing center births, working with you, a partner, and your midwife to create a calm and empowered birthing environment that honors your body’s wisdom. Beyond birth support, I also provide nourishing postpartum meal prep, crafting meals tailored to dietary restrictions and designed to promote healing and increase milk production. I aim to care for both body and spirit, ensuring you feel supported in every way during this sacred transition. I enjoy spirituality, meditation, music, field hockey, and cooking. Let’s create a birth and postpartum experience filled with love. I’d love to see if I'd be a good fit for your journey.

I have been a midwife since 1993. I started my journey toward midwifery when I was told, at the ripe old age of 19, that I would likely never be able to bear my own children due to a severe case of endometriosis. I had numerous surgeries, medication regimes, and heartbreaking disappointments month after month, then year after year. During this time, I read everything I could get my hands on about birth, pregnancy, options in labor and delivery. Finally, I started learning about midwives! Prior to this, I had never known a midwife nor I had ever talked to anyone who had used a midwife. Yet, I was completely enamored with the ideas of “with woman”. This was before the time of the internet and my only sources of information were bookstores or the library. I bought the original issue of “Our Bodies, Ourselves” in 1973 and felt a call to something bigger and more life-changing than I could have ever imagined. The only method of becoming a midwife that I was aware of, was to first go to nursing school to get a BSN and then go to a midwifery school for a Masters in Midwifery. At that time there were no midwifery schools in Texas; the nearest one to us was in Mississippi! I had already started taking my prerequisites for a BS and by 1977 I was accepted into the clinical program for UT Nursing. By this time, my husband Gary and I had been actively, yet unsuccessfully, trying to conceive for six long years. The crushing disappointment was more than I could deal with any longer. I decided to give up that dream and focus on becoming a midwife to help other women have their sweet babies. Two months later, I discovered that I was pregnant! Over the next 17 years, God blessed us with five more beautiful babies; one for each long year of infertility. However, this also delayed my dream of becoming a midwife. So, when I had an opportunity to take a course offered by the Texas Dept of Health to become a documented midwife, I jumped at it. I began this program in 1993. Later the same year, I started a 3 yr apprenticeship with a midwife friend who had recently moved to Texas. I also took a course through the Association of Texas Midwives and later passed one of the first NARM exams offered to become a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife). I was the first midwife in Katy and had a thriving home birth practice for many years. In 2003, I accepted a new apprentice as well as a new birth assistant. This was the beginning of a great collaboration with Natalie and Connie. I’ve been blessed on a daily basis by both of them, and am so grateful for their wisdom, love and support since we came together in 2010, to open Katy Birth Center. This endeavor has truly been a labor of love. My husband Gary and I have been married since 1971 and have enjoyed the years raising our three girls and three boys. All of our children are now married, with the exception of the baby, Meredith who graduated from TX State in 2018 and works in nutrition and exercise wellness in Dallas. My children have blessed me with seven beautiful grandchildren, four of whom I was honored to midwife into the world. I look forward to as many more as God chooses to give! We are very involved in our church and feel blessed to be a part of several ministries there. I also feel a connection to my sister midwives and have been very involved in both local and statewide midwifery organizations over the years. I’ve served on the local level in our Houston area midwifery group as President, Vice-President and Secretary. I’ve also served on the statewide ATM organization as an Area Representative, Secretary and Vice President. Working with these committed midwives to further midwifery and protect our profession has been such an honor, albeit, a huge commitment of time and invested effort. I am excited to see the new generation of midwives come up and take their place alongside the more seasoned midwives. I love mothers and their babies, and I am so very grateful for the path God led me on all those years ago to be able to encourage, minister, educate and support women, and their innate ability to birth their babies safely in the ways they desire.

My name is Laporcha Foster most people call me LaLa. I am from Houston, Texas and I am a mother to 4 beautiful souls (3 girls and 1 boy). I am a traveling birth/postpartum doula who is also an end of life doula (helping others transition over to the after life). I became a doula after realizing nursing school wasn’t for me. I wanted to be a L&D nurse then a Nurse Practitioner so I could deliver babies. One day I was talking to my spiritual coach who told me my ancestors told her I was a medicine healing lady, and my life purpose was to be a midwife. I never thought to be one even though I heard so many people talked about having midwives and doula when I was pregnant with my son. I decided to do some research and I fell in love with the results and became a certified trained birth/postpartum doula through Madriella Doula Network. Being other women and families support system is my top priority. Rather it’s in a home, birthing center, or hospital I’m there! I am now attending a midwifery program at Midwives College of Utah (MCU) and trusting the process of this new journey. I look forward to meeting with you and vibing off good and positive energy. Peace and blessings!

I am a Spirit Baby Medicine Woman, Psychic, Mentor, and a Energy Healer. I have sat with many women and people holding space for them on their pregnancies and relationship with pregnancy. Pregnancy is sacred. It is a process of birth and co-creation each time. Co-creating with your spirit baby, your partner, your children, grandparents, and beyond. Many systems were not created to support women, even more were not created inclusive of people of color. Throughout working in Maternal Health for some years, my desire for a family catapulted me into a deep journey with my spirit babies. A safe and nurturing pregnancy where your needs are listened to and respected is your birthright. My experience of working with spirit babies and their families comes with emotional and spiritual energy work that supports families through prenatal, pregnancy, birth and postpartum. My work is designed around supporting spirit babies and their families, and spirit babies desire to connect with their parents before, during and after birth. This helps you to learn more about your spirit baby and yourself in the process through the lense of your spirit baby who loves you unconditionally. Spirit babies choose their parents as their parents choose them and they can get pregnant even after choosing not to get pregnant, or having experienced multiple attempts at pregnancy and the experience not ending in a child. It's a beautiful process of learning with your spirit baby who is both guiding and being guided by you, your partner, and others the spirit baby has chosen to help support your pregnancy with them. This is the process even when you may not have met your partner yet. It's an incredibly intimate and vulnerable process even as pregnancy is already one, a spirit baby amplifies that as they are different from those that aren't, and the desire for connection and love with their parents comes quicker and before pregnancy. Those who are drawn to my work likely have a spirit baby connection, whether mom, dad, other family members or friends. Connecting with your spirit baby helps you learn more about the little one you're birthing and challenges that may come up, as well as how to prepare for their arrival in a way that feels good for you and them. Spirit babies are often thought to be only an unborn child but they're a sensitive and highly empathic child with gifts and sensitivities that are active well after birth and can be the reason many children don't take well to being birthed in certain environments, to certain foods, being around certain people or energy, or don't feel they're loved or seen. They aren't just babies, they are wise souls with mountains of wisdom they wish to share. A child is a spirit baby after birth and into adult life. Working with spirit babies is also restarting the process of loving the self, and intuition, and listening to one's self, in each moment. I look forward to supporting your spirit baby, you, and your family.
