My calming presence is reassuring to those I'm supporting, and their families. I am passionate about empowering all pregnant and birthing people. My strength is my adaptability; which allows me to support families in their choices. I am a parent to my 13year old clone, who I birthed at home. I run a suburban goat farm and have two giant fur babies that try to steal my bed. (Great Danes named Freyja and Kuma). I enjoy dad jokes, puns, and free books. I identify as a transmasc, nonbinary human. I use they/he pronouns.

Max is the best. I have very complicated pregnancies and work in ob so max understands my stress levels and always put me at ease through out. Our family worked with max during my second pregnancy which was debatably the worst, and my third. Max always had a plan for our sessions and understood how crappy things were for a mom with hg. When it came to my labor all the prep work I did with him absolutely paid off. During these pregnancies I felt more skilled because max. He helped me remain present, create realistic goals, and take care of myself which can be so difficult. I truely trust the work he does and feel that he is such a valuable member of my birth team. Doulas are a blessing.

Tamiko Kelly

18 years of experience

Hi! I'm Tamiko. I'm the Advanced Newborn Care Specialist, Certified Postpartum Doula, and Sleep Expert for exhausted parents who want their babies to sleep all night so they can feel like themselves again. I help moms enjoy motherhood and have time for themselves once the baby is down for the night. Dads have reported waking energized with a new pep in their step after implementing my strategies. Since 2008, I've worked 24/7, rotational shifts for families who value privacy and discretion. I understand the unique needs of these families and the great finesse required to succeed in these positions. I enjoy working with families from all backgrounds and providing them with both daytime and overnight support as they transition into parenthood. I've helped over 1000 families (both online and in-person) gently teach their little ones to sleep. I also have lots of experience working with medically fragile babies (i.e. N/GJ/J tubes, sleep apnea, GERD, SGA, cardiac issues, etc.). In my free time, I enjoy baking delicious gluten-free desserts and hanging out with my sweet nephews. If you're looking for an experienced Doula or Newborn Care Specialist who's calm, a joy to be around, and goes with the flow, let's connect. I'm so excited to meet you and learn more about your family.

We hired Tamiko so she could support us right when we got home. It was really in the beginning more about me getting sleep because I was recovering from a C-section and just really needed to rest and recover. And it was really, really crucial having Tamiko there in those early days right after we got back from the hospital to get the most sleep. With Tamiko's help, our daughter started at about six weeks just skipping, her two 3:00 AM feeding and she sleeps between 10 and 12 hours in a stretch every night now, so at two months. She helped create a plan so I can breastfeed and still get rest at night. Tamiko is easygoing and easy to get along with and it's nice having her around.

Prisca Kalustian

Hi friend, I’m Prisca, the doula behind your birth friend I’m a certified doula, wife, and mama with a big heart for walking alongside women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My care is rooted in connection, the kind that feels genuine, grounding, and personal. I believe doula support should feel less like a service and more like a steady friendship. Someone in your corner who gets it, sees you, and walks with you through it all. I believe every woman deserves: gentle, personalized support evidence-based guidance and someone who truly sees her I also believe that knowledge is power. When women understand their options, their bodies, and the birth process, they’re able to step into this journey feeling confident, informed, and deeply supported. I’m passionate about helping women feel equipped and empowered every step of the way. Birth isn’t just physical, it’s emotional, spiritual, and sacred. That’s why my support goes beyond timelines and checklists. I show up with heart, with presence, and with care that’s built on trust, friendship, and faith. My faith is the foundation of how I serve. It’s what grounds me, guides me, and helps me hold space with love and grace in every space I enter. Whether we’re chatting over tea during pregnancy, breathing through contractions together, or unpacking the beautiful, messy layers of postpartum, I’ll be right there with you as your steady, grounded support. I serve families in North Texas and it would be an honor to walk with you through your journey. Got questions? Want to connect? Or want to say hi? I’d love to hear from you! I’ve poured a lot of heart into my website, and I would be delighted if you stopped by. I’d love to connect with you there.

Working with Prisca was the best decision we made for our birth. From the very first meeting, she made us feel heard and supported. She provided so much helpful information, helped us feel prepared, and was a calming, reassuring presence throughout labor. Her warmth, knowledge, and encouragement made all the difference. We can’t recommend her enough!

Melinda Pawloski

15 years of experience

Hello! I'm Melinda, wife to Seth, and mother to Abigail, Luke, Keturah, Naomi, Isaac, Elijah, and Mattias. While my family lived in South Africa(2018-2019), I was blessed to become a certified doula through their WOMBS (women offering mothers birth support) program. Along with in-person classes, I experienced hands-on doula opportunities with laboring women in 2 different hospital locations in Johannesburg. I believe this experience opened my heart to truly seeing the importance of having a strong support system during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum. Children are a blessing from the Lord and every mother deserves the best through her pregnancy/delivery. I personally have experienced 3 hospital births, 2 birth center deliveries, and 2 home births. I am here to support you and help you make the most memorable and peaceful birth possible. If you are pregnant and would like the support of a doula, please reach out to me. I would love to meet you and see if I am the right doula for you.

I cannot recommend Melinda enough. After having two traumatic birth experiences, I knew I needed to prepare differently this time. My first birth was a natural birth during the pandemic, and unfortunately there were many errors made at the hospital. My baby ended up in the NICU, and I developed a serious infection after being allowed in a tub after my water had broken. It was my first experience, and I did not know better at the time. With my second birth, after pushing, I was told I needed an emergency C-section because my baby’s heart rate dropped. That experience also came with many mistakes and I ended up with another bad infection. Because of all of that, I decided to do my research for my next birth, and that is how I found Melinda. I wanted to try for a VBAC, but almost everyone around me told me no. Melinda was the one person who made me feel confident, supported, and heard. I shared all of my fears and concerns with her, and she always kept me positive. She became my voice when I needed one.When the day finally came and my water broke, Melinda talked me through labor and helped calm me down. Once we got to the hospital, she was exactly what I needed. She respected all of the healthcare workers and let them do their jobs, but she also advocated for me and helped me stay calm when scary things were being said, especially when my baby’s heart rate was dropping.Thanks to her support, I had a 3.5-hour labor and the best birth experience I could have hoped for. She was also a great support for my husband, which meant so much to both of us. Do not hesitate to hire Melinda. I am telling you, it will be one of the best decisions you make. She is amazing.

Genicia Battle

2 years of experience

My name is Genicia Battle, known in the Ifá community as Ifáfúnké Àṣọre. I am a Full Circle Doula and Birth Companion, trained through the SMC Full Circle Doula Birth Companion Training. A program rooted in the cultural, historical, and spiritual traditions of African American midwifery and birth work. I became a doula because every birthing person deserves to feel seen, supported, and spiritually connected throughout their journey. I know the difference it makes to birth in a space that feels warm, honoring, and sacred. My vision is to offer families not only emotional and spiritual support, but also culturally rooted healing tools that nurture the womb, body, and soul. Birth is not just a moment! It is a portal! My purpose is to ensure that every mother steps through it feeling whole, powerful, and profoundly connected to her divine nature.

I talked to Genicia and explained how I was feeling. The back story is...I had a really bad headache. One of those headaches that affects not just your head but every part of your face and the back of your neck. It would not go away, and it was very painful. Shortly then I remembered that Genicia gave me a tea bag of her Simmer Down nerve tea for days like this. When I had her tea, my headache started to calm down. I was no longer in pain. If you ever experience a headache like this, I suggest getting in a comfy spot and having a cup of her Simmer Down nerve tea and watch how it works.
