Find a Childbirth Educator Near Me in Texas

It was only 3 years ago my friend asked me to assist in supporting her during birth. I knew then this was the path for me. Since then I have expanded my education and completed certifications to work as a Doula and Childbirth Educator. I believe that every woman deserves to feel empowered and informed as she brings her baby into the world. As a doula I offer a range of tailored services to support you every step of the way.

As a Certified Doula, I love walking beside families through the transitions of pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I believe having access to positive support during those times contributes not only to better birth outcomes, but stronger bonds within the family and community as well. A mother of six myself, and while I have many interests and hobbies, like gardening and reading (SO much reading!) my knowledge around birth and motherhood has been a constant thread of connection with those I meet. I am honored when families value my input by bringing their questions to me! I am always seeking to learn more and have no hesitation in pointing clients to other resources if I am unsure of an answer. I strive to encourage an informed, prepared, and calm birth environment for my clients, meeting challenges that arise with patience and proven techniques.

Hi, I’m Tianna Proctor, a birth and postpartum doula devoted to supporting families through one of the most powerful transitions of their lives. I believe birth and the weeks that follow are sacred, vulnerable, and deeply transformative, and no one should walk through them without compassionate, informed support. I provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational care throughout labor, birth, and the postpartum period, so you never feel alone, rushed, or unheard. From comfort measures and advocacy during labor to newborn care, feeding support, and emotional grounding after birth, I am here to help you feel confident, supported, and empowered as you step into parenthood.

I am a certified childbirth educator and labor/postpartum support. My pursuit to mate nal health education began six years ago when I experienced a homebirth of my third child. It became my mission to support women with patience and compassion to ensure they have a positive birth experience. Pregnancy, labor, and transition to motherhood are linked together and I approach them as whole. I see success in labor experiences as the mother allows her intuition guide her. I take much pride in this work and often tell mother to affirm themselves (through educating) so they can nurture their families.

If you are reading this while pregnant, you might already feel the weight of the "what-ifs." While you prepare for birth, you may also be quietly wondering: What happens when the visitors leave? What if I don't know why the baby is crying? Who will take care of me while I’m taking care of everyone else? At Little Flower Birth Services, I specialize in supporting mothers who carry these worries. The "Fourth Trimester" doesn’t have to be a season of drowning in uncertainty. It can be a time of gentle healing, where your intuition is nurtured and your anxiety is met with steady, calm competence. How I Quiet the Noise for You: A Gentle Landing for Your Birth Story: Anxiety often stems from unprocessed experiences. We will sit together to walk through your birth journey, honoring every emotion so you can move forward into motherhood with a clear, peaceful heart. Confidence in the "New": When your mind starts to race with questions about newborn cues, sleep, or feeding, I am there to provide evidence-based answers and hands-on guidance. We replace "Google-induced panic" with calm, practical tools. Protecting Your Peace & Recovery: You cannot pour from an empty cup. I step into the gaps—managing light household tasks, organizing your recovery space, and ensuring you are nourished—so your only "job" is to rest and bond. Emotional Safeguarding: I am trained to recognize the difference between the "baby blues" and postpartum anxiety or depression. I provide a non-judgmental safety net, helping you navigate your moods with compassion and connecting you to further resources if the path gets steep. Validation of Your Mother-Intuition: Anxious mothers often doubt themselves. My goal is to mirror back your strengths to you, affirming that you are exactly the mother your baby needs. You Don’t Have to Carry the Weight Alone Postpartum is a vulnerable threshold, but you don’t have to cross it in fear. I am here to be the steady presence that allows you to exhale. From emotional reassurance to practical "in-the-trenches" help, my support is designed to ensure you feel seen, safe, and deeply cared for as you find your rhythm.

I provide compassionate, calming, and judgment-free support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.

I am a mom of 3, and I had very different journeys with each. I know firsthand that no pregnancies, labors, births or postpartum recoveries are the same, and therefore should be treated with respect and understanding for the individual. As your doula, I will hold space for you to fully understand all information being given to you, ask your questions, make your own well-informed decisions, and be confident in your choices.

I am Chelsey Hernandez Whitcomb, CLD, HCHD. I graduated with my B.A. with Honors in History from Houston Baptist University in 2009 and taught school World History, AP World History, and AP Psychology for 12 years before leaving teaching to work from home in marketing. In March 2024, I realized how much I missed serving families, so I decided to work as a doula and childbirth educator full time. As an educator at heart, I believe continual education is the cornerstone to our growth as individuals and it is my hope to share my knowledge and experience with you during this special time. I offer personalized prenatal, birth, and postpartum support to women and their families. My goal is to give you and your family the support and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about the care you receive during your pregnancy and throughout the labor process. I completed my doula training with Shannon Stellhorn of A Sacred Journey Midwifery Services and Doula Training Program in Houston, Texas, in February 2018 and finished all certification requirements in October 2019. In April 2018, I completed a training on Integrating Acupressure Comfort Measures into Your Doula Practice for Pregnancy Care, Labor Support, and Postpartum Care, with Nicholas Olow, M.S., L.Ac. and in August 2019 I attended a Spinning Babies Workshop consisting of 14 hours taught by Rachel Shapiro, CPM, LM, SpBT, to be a Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educator. In February 2021, I also attended a virtual workshop with Adilah Yelton to offer Bengkung Belly Binding to my clients.

I hope by continuing my education in various aspects of birth and postpartum care that I will be able to better assist my clients during their pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. To learn more about me and the services that I offer, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Hi! I'm Melissa, owner of Nest and Nurture ATX. I've worked as a birth & postpartum doula and childbirth educator since 2017. The core of my support is personalized care, advocacy, and compassionate guidance from pregnancy through postpartum. I believe in honoring each individual's unique birth preferences and fostering confidence and informed decision-making. It would be an honor to support you!

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.

Hi my name is Heza! I understand that every birth is unique, just like you! I’m dedicated to helping birthing parents get the birth experience they deserve, one that leaves them feeling satisfied and empowered with their birth. It's very important to me that women have the support and advocacy they need during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, no one should have to go through any of it alone!
