My name is Stephanie! I am a mother of 3 children (parenting for over 10+ years) and have been a doula for over 5 years. My experiences have inspired my journey to become a Full-Spectrum Birth Worker & Holistic Guide of birthing people and their families. I have a passion for teaching clients how to make informed choices and harness their inner-power to choose the lives they desire most. My experience ranges from: - Being a parent for over 8 years, - Working in Crisis-Intervention as a teen to pursuing activism as a Labor Union Organizer for 4 years. I love supporting clients in their individualized journeys. I want to continue normalizing and providing a safe space for experiences such as loss, grief and navigating community-building. My passions consist of being an artist as well as centering rest, pleasure and safety in my life, setting examples for families who are on the spectrum while raising children who are neurodivergent. I look forward to connecting with you at the aligned time.

I have been a labor and delivery nurse for five years. I believe that every woman has rights and a voice that should be heard without suppression. I also believe women are some of the strongest people on earth and that birth does not have to be a traumatic experience. My goal is to give you and your family the attention, knowledge, & support you need to make informed decisions about your pregnancy and labor process. To learn more about me and the services I offer, please get in touch.

I had a great experience with Dana as my doula. We didn't meet until the end of my third trimester because I decided I needed a doula at the last minute. Dana listened to all my concerns about the care I received, and even attended one of my last OB appointments. I felt that she was well informed about pregnancy and labor. I enjoyed going over my birth plan with Dana because she explained everything line by line. I went into labor prematurely at 36 weeks and Dana didn't panic. She came to the delivery room and I feel like everything moved fast. She set up music like I wanted, dimmed the lights, and helped my husband with positions. I was able to have a vaginal birth with no epidural like I wanted. This meant so much to me because the specialist I was seeing told me I would have to be induced and have a c-section. Dana made me feel supported and helped me feel calm during labor. I was able to make informed decisions about my care and not feel anxious going into labor. Even after the delivery, Dana got food for me and my husband and checked on us until we all went home. Our post-partum visit at home went well and Dana was able to get my baby to latch. I had a positive experience for my first birth, and I would recommend Dana to anyone looking for a doula.

My approach centers on collaborative, education-driven care so that you feel truly informed and confident in every decision. No two birth or postpartum journeys are ever the same, and that’s the beauty of it. Let’s create a nurturing space where your voice is honored, your choices respected, and your body is supported in doing what it was made to do. I would be honored to walk beside you as your little one makes their way into this world. Let’s bloom through birth & postpartum—together.

We had the pleasure of having Taylor as our Doula for our first born! Taylor was both supportive & provided essential childbirth education prior to my wife being in labor. This helped us know what to expect & what red flags to look out for. During labor, we truly do not know how we would’ve done it with out her. When labor began to intensify she stepped into action to make sure my wife was as comfortable as possible through different stretches, massages, and comforting words. Over the past few months Taylor was more than a doula, she truly felt as part of the family and felt like a critical part of our birthing team at the hospital. I couldn’t recommend her more and we plan on using her for all our future births!

I am a birth and postpartum doula, NICU mom, and a military wife, whose passion for this work was shaped by my own early motherhood experience. I had my first baby halfway across the country during COVID, farm from family and community. That season taught me how powerful it is to feel truly supported, and it became the foundation for the way I show up for other families. I have had the honor of supporting friends and families through both home births and hospital births, and I love walking alongside parents through the many different paths birth birth can take, with a professional foundation in Kinesiology, I understand deeply how the body functions in pregnancy and birth, and how movement and positioning support physiological labor and how to help reduce strain and injury during this transformative process. I blend evidence based education with holistic, intuitive care to offer support that is both grounded and nurturing. At the heart of my work is a simple intention. I show up for mothers the way I would want someone to show up for my daughter one day. With warmth, compassion, and a steady presence, my hope is that every family I support feels seen, held, and never alone as they step into parenthood.

Highly recommend hiring Courtney as your doula. Our doula we initially hired had an emergency so we ended up having Courtney as our backup doula and she did not disappoint! We were a little nervous having a backup doula and somebody we’ve never met but Courtney was so personable, very easy going and very much was prepared for our birth plan and things we discussed with our doula prior to going into labor. Courtney was very encouraging, supportive and really helped my husband and I during such an intense and vulnerable experience. Thank you Courtney for what you do! It’s very clear that she loves what she does and it translates into working with her clients.

I currently support families in Cypress, Katy, Fulshear, Jersey Village, The Heights, and Midtown areas of the Houston metropolitan area. As a mother of three adult sons with over 25 years of experience in the healthcare industry, I have dedicated my life to supporting others through some of life’s most profound transitions. My personal birthing experiences, each resulting in C-sections, included life-threatening complications during my last delivery and the postpartum period. These challenges ignited a passion within me to be the eyes, ears, hands, and voice for anyone undergoing significant life changes, like welcoming new life to the Earthside. My approach is grounded in respect for your choices, reverence for the recovery process, and a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of childbirth and postpartum recovery.

Exceptional Postpartum Support – A True Blessing to this first time mummy. I cannot express enough gratitude for Teneka and the incredible support she provided during my postpartum recovery. As someone who had stitches, her care and assistance made my healing process so much easier. She was always attentive to my comfort and well-being, ensuring I had the time and space to rest while also supporting me in caring for my newborn. One of the things I truly appreciated was how proactive she was—she never waited to be asked. She would top up baby and mum supplies without hesitation, making sure I always had everything I needed. She also made sure I ate properly and stayed hydrated, knowing how important it was for my recovery and milk supply. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail made such a difference during this critical time. Her warmth, knowledge, and kindness created a stress-free and nurturing environment, and I felt so supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Teneka to any new parent—she is truly a gem, and I’m beyond grateful for her care!

Having Zaira as my doula was amazing. She came to my home when I was having prodromal labor and helped me do exercises that got me into actual labor that same night. She stayed by my side the whole time at the birthing center and looked out for my husband like I requested when she saw he was in shock after our baby was born. When I felt like I couldn't do it anymore she reassured me that we where almost at the finish line and talked me through to the end.

Recent review

My wife and I really enjoyed working with Lavi. I reached out to her because my wife was very overwhelmed and I was about to return back to work. She came in our household and really helped my wife find peace. She helped our baby fall asleep on a schedule (which she is still on), she always made sure my wife had something to eat, every time I came home from work my wife was very relaxed and I learned a lot about how I can help. I think she made a huge difference in our lives and I’m very glad that she was able to support us.

HE ID BEYOND AMAZING!! Even the hospital Staff were surprised by his knowledge and said they wish more duals were like him! I love how we met once a month to talk about how I was doing and even visited me at home after I gave birth. When he says he is in it for the long haul he means it! I was induced on the 18th and did not have my son till the 20th he stayed with me the whole time!

I have been preparing birthing couples since 2013. Unhappy with the support I received during my first birth, my sister encouraged me to take an independent childbirth class. My second birth was healing and my third birth was empowering. This started my passion for safe, natural when possible, and empowering birth. I have since become trained in Spinning Babies, Rebozo use during labor, Neonatal Resuscitation, and Bengkung belly binding. I have taught over 300 couples and attended dozens of births, either as doula support or as a midwife birth assistant. I am a certified breastfeeding specialist that is currently going through the process of becoming an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). I'm married to my best friend of 10 years and we have 3 vivacious children together. Two of those children are deaf and we enjoy learning ASL and signing together. When I'm not reading articles about birth, I can be found chasing my kids around the park or folding laundry. It’s a toss up. My birth stories are all different from each other. I believe this shapes my teaching. My first birth, I did not know about the Bradley Method®. My mother gave birth in Vietnam without drugs and her only advice was “you just do it”. Because she said she did it, I thought naturally I would be able to and did not consider learning different coping techniques. For my first birth, unable to cope with the pain, I began to hold my breath and tense up. This ultimately caused my labor to stop and I was given Pitocin and the cycle continued. I eventually was given an epidural and my son was born by vacuum extraction. My daughter, my second birth, on the other hand has a completely different birth story. I had a short, six hour labor. I firmly believe learning all the physical exercises, practicing relaxing, and knowing the best birthing positions sped up the birth and caused me to give birth with ease. I was calm and happy after giving birth. By the time the doctor arrived I had already breastfed and my daughter was sleeping peacefully. He was amazed and commented on how we as a family appeared stoic. My third birth was a quick homebirth. I was excited to practice everything I had been teaching! My husband caught our last child and we consider it our best teamwork. Both my husband and I noticed a big difference in how I felt after my last two births. Because of the vast differences in my birth experiences, I feel the need to tell every women. What better way than by becoming a Bradley instructor.

My approach to lactation support is holistic and biological, and tailored to each family's unique needs. I understand that no two breastfeeding journeys are the same, and I strive to determine the root cause of any difficulties. My goal is to help your family meet your breastfeeding goals and empower you throughout your journey with excellent support, care, and education. One of my greatest joys is seeing the bond created between the infant and the breastfeeding parent. Watching infants thrive and develop is incredibly rewarding for me, and I find parental empowerment equally fulfilling. I also believe that other family members, such as partners and grandparents, play a vital role in the breastfeeding journey. They are a crucial part of the support network and help the breastfeeding parent achieve their goals. My support is structured to meet the unique needs of each family. If a mother feels uncertain or overwhelmed about breastfeeding, I take several steps: praising her accomplishments, actively listening to her concerns, assessing the dyad, discussing any changes in breastfeeding goals, and creating or modifying the Plan of Care. I often recommend techniques like "skin to skin Baby-Moons" which include baby-led/cue based feeding and laid-back biological breastfeeding. This method allows the baby to explore and be in control, fostering a natural and comfortable breastfeeding experience. My current areas of study and interest as an IBCLC include microbiome seeding/ gut health and bottle refusal.

Hey there radiant moms and families! 🥰 I’m Jennifer, a passionate Maternal-Child Health advocate with over two decades as a Registered Nurse and Community Health Educator. My journey began in New Orleans where I graduated from LSU Health Sciences Center’s School of Nursing. My love for Maternal-Child Health truly blossomed after witnessing a Midwife-assisted delivery while in nursing school. From an RN at The Birthing Place at Tulane University Hospital and Clinic, to volunteering post-Hurricane Katrina, and moving to Houston pregnant with my twins, my passion for supporting moms intensified during my tenure at The Woman’s Hospital of Texas. I soon realized teaching was my calling. 🍎 As a Certified Childbirth Educator, teaching an array of topics from Infant CPR to Marvelous Multiples, I specialize in empowering parents. And my own NICU journey with my preterm twins fueled my commitment to lactation support. In 2014, I became a Certified Lactation Counselor, and soon after, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. Contributing to The Woman’s Hospital of Texas becoming the first Baby-Friendly Hospital in Houston is a badge of honor for me. My heart is with the fierce moms and their tiny NICU warriors. With my professional and personal expertise, I was pleased to bring my passion to my community by leading the opening of Memorial Hermann Pearland Hospital’s Lactation and Perinatal Education Departments. Come 2022, I joined the fantastic Bayou City Breastfeeding crew! Now, from our Webster and West NASA Offices to your cozy homes, I'm here for you. 🏡 Outside of work, I cherish time in Pearland with my husband and four children, engage in my church’s Women’s Ministry, and daydream about sandy beaches.
