Find a Midwife Near Me in Texas

Hiring Kim was one of the best decisions we made while I was pregnant! We initially hesitated on hiring a doula since I wouldn’t be getting maternity pay for very long (and babies are expensive!), but looking back it’s hard to imagine Kim not being a part of our birth. My husband and I moved to College Station less than a year ago. While my family was planning on traveling to see us from out of state the week of our due date, baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early! Kim supported me through some arduous pitocin contractions, helped us advocate for our wishes, and kept my husband hydrated, caffeinated, and fed, which enabled him to best support me. Before the more painful contractions started my husband was even able to run home to grab more hospital bag items and let our dog out, and I’m so happy Kim was there with me so I didn’t have to be on my own as there were quite a few unexpected decisions to make due to the early arrival. I would recommend Kim in a heartbeat! She’s also a great massage therapist. Baby’s early arrival thwarted me scheduling another prenatal massage — will have to schedule a postpartum one soon :)

I loved having Aniya as my birth doula. Not only did she make sure I felt supported leading up to birth, when I called her while in active labor. She informed me that she was wrapping up at another birth. I called at 3:30am and she made it there before my midwife and helped me to labor. My labor went FAST within the next hour I was in the tub pushing. She was such a calm presence. My midwife just barely missed it but both my husband and I felt so much better with her there. She was calm and helped my husband prepare to deliver my son without our midwife. I’m extremely grateful for the time, effort, calmness, and loss of sleep she put in to help me labor my son into the world.

Brigette was the most hospitable and empathetic doula we could ever ask for. She is the perfect mix of emotional support and information for new parents. She provides a ton of resources and education and we found the value from her services to be invaluable!!! Plus she made our birth as smooth as could be. We highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Brigette!

Having Elissa as my doula was one of the best decisions I made for my birth experience. She brought such calm, reassurance, and knowledge into every moment during labor. She anticipated my needs before I even had to ask and helped both me and my husband feel comfortable and empowered throughout the entire process. Her presence made me feel truly supported and confident. I can’t imagine going through it without her! Would hire her again if I decide to have another baby!

From a husband’s perspective When my wife approached me about using a doula to assist with the labor and delivery of our third child, I was skeptical of how helpful a doula could be beyond what I could do to assist my wife on my own. I am a pretty hands-on husband when it comes to supporting my wife in these situations, so I really didn’t think a doula would be all that much more helpful from the help I already had done and was willing to do for this third child as well. I WAS WRONG! Emily at Magnolia Births served us in so many ways, but these are a few of the ways that she did. 1) Enhanced my ability to support my wife Not only did Emily assist my wife during labor, but she also enabled me to help my wife in meaningful ways long after I ran out of my own ideas of how to help my wife during labor. 2) Gave us insight into choosing providers, facilities, birth prep, etc Since my wife and I are not from Lubbock, Emily’s experience of having witnessed numerous births in the area gave us all of the necessary information we needed in order to find the right people and the right location for our specific circumstances surrounding the birth of our third child. 3) Another knowledgeable person in your corner during a stressful situation I was surprised by Emily’s knowledge. I knew she had prepared herself with many classes in order to serve her clients well, but Emily always had helpful information and a plan B, C, D, etc ready in case the Plan A didn’t go as planned. She is more than prepared for any situation with her knowledge and experience. I really agreed to using a doula because I knew my wife would feel more comfortable in attempting a VBA2C with a doula, but now I can say after the delivery of my third child and successful VBA2C that I will be the first one to call Emily should we need her services again! Thank you, Emily!

Jasmine and Sarah are truly an amazing team! They are extremely knowledgeable, calm, and collected. They provided the guidance and resources I needed during my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experiences making me feel supported and confident throughout it all.

ve Clients, I am writing to express my deep appreciation for the remarkable care and support I received from Cheyenne and Cree during my pregnancy and postpartum journey. As a first-time mom, I was fortunate to have Cheyenne as my homebirth and postpartum doula, and to also benefit from her placenta encapsulation services. Her expertise and holistic approach put me at ease throughout the entire process, and her commitment to educating me was invaluable. Cheyenne provided exceptional prenatal care, offering guidance and addressing my concerns with utmost patience. During labor and delivery, she ensured that I felt supported, while Cree provided emotional support for both my partner and me, capturing breathtaking photos that we will cherish forever. What stood out most was their dedication to making me feel comfortable, their willingness to address all my questions, and their unwavering support in overcoming my childbirth fears. The family-oriented care I received from Cheyenne and Cree made the experience even more special. I have referred my friends and family to their services, and I genuinely believe that booking them as your doulas is the right choice.

Shiphrah attended two of my births as my doula and her support both physically and mentally was unmatched. She is expertly educated on all things prenatal and postpartum, and is always willing to go the extra mile for her clients! Highly recommend!

Grace was so wonderful sad helpful, she came to my house and helped me through difficulties breastfeeding. She was so warm and friendly, it really helped me get out of my head and focus on how to help my situation. She broke it down so well it really helped my confidence that I am capable of breastfeeding. They say it takes a village and Grace embodies that idea and makes herself the village.

Kourtney was our son’s night doula for 8 weeks. We interviewed several doula’s before landing on her. From our very first conversation Kourtney’s professionalism, knowledge, and kindness stood out well above the others. From discussing her schedule, rates, and philosophy of care, she was clearly very experienced and willing to educate us as first time parents. She was also willing to work with our schedule and needs to make her services work for both of us. Working with Kourtney was nothing short of amazing. She was always on time or early for every shift, she came prepared to learn about our sons day and what to expect out of the night. We were always able to discuss any concerns we have and she gave great advice to help us manage him when she was not there. She helped us trouble shoot the many challenges we had navigating our son’s first few weeks of life. Offering advice on how to treat his ailments, products to support his care, and when to consult our pediatrician. Our son was a NICU baby and we were extremely concerned for his early development and couldn’t have found a better provider to be a part of our village. Every night we were able to rest peacefully knowing our son was in great care. Kourtney took great notes and let us know how he did every night and gave us suggestions to have a good day and better nights when she wasn’t coming in. Overall, Kourtney was the best doula we could have asked for and we loved working with her. We highly recommend her as a caregiver.

Highly Recommend Thalia – An Amazing Birth Doula! I had the absolute privilege of having Thalia as my birth doula, and I cannot recommend her enough! Despite being based in Houston, TX, she traveled all the way to Los Angeles to support me during my birth, and her presence made all the difference. From our very first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. Thalia was incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive to my needs, both emotionally and physically. She took the time to understand my birth preferences and offered valuable support and guidance every step of the way. On the big day, she was a calm and reassuring presence, providing me with comfort, strength, and encouragement. Her support allowed me to have a positive and empowered birth experience. I truly believe that having Thalia by my side helped me achieve the birth I had hoped for. If you're looking for a professional, caring, and dedicated doula who goes above and beyond, look no further. I am forever grateful for her support and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive birth doula. Thank you again, Thalia! You made a huge impact on my birth experience, and I’ll always be thankful for you!

Jaelyn is an angel straight from heaven. I live across the country from my family, and she showed up as my best friend and my family during my delivery and postpartum. She was a tremendous advocate for me during my birth. I was committed to having a natural birth at a birth center, but after 18 hours of labor we had to take it to the hospital because of unavoidable complications. She did absolutely everything to protect and support me at the hospital, while I was pretty much delirious and struggling to make decisions, she was bold and brave standing up from my rights and needs the whole time. For example, the doctors wanted me to go straight to Pitocin to strengthen my ability to push, but Jaelyn knew I wanted to avoid medical interventions, so like a genius she instructed the doctors to give me a breast pump instead because pumping can have the same strengthening effect in an all-natural way. I didn’t even know that, but she did. All through the day and night at the birth center she kept me fed and hydrated, tirelessly held the detachable shower head for me for literally 3 hours straight as I was attempting a water birth, and gave me massages and helped me through all kinds of creative birthing positions. During my extremely challenging birth experience, feeling her hand holding mine was the most comforting and reassuring thing. Her energy was calm always. And then, low and behold postpartum at the hospital, she was my first visitor bringing me a gift bag full of beautiful high quality baby items, a huge bouquet of flowers, and a deluxe fruit tray which I devoured. She’s one of those friends who knows what you need without you having to say anything. She was born to be a doula, and she even remembered my dog’s name and asked about her which cheered me up so much! Plus, with my pregnancy Medicaid all of her services were free! She has a great sense of humor and made me laugh so hard during her hospital visits that they could definitely hear us in the next room! Anyway, God bless you Jaelyn and thank you for treating me with such kindness, love, and respect. And any of you looking for the best doula ever who will seriously have your back, Jaelyn is your girl.

Goodness, where do I begin? I hope to convey how much Rachel truly means to our family but I'll start off by saying there aren't enough characters to express my love and gratitude for her. From the moment my husband and I first met her, we knew she was the perfect person to support us as we prepared to welcome our sweet son. After each prenatal visit, I left our conversation feeling more empowered, educated and excited for labor than before. She lovingly shared her wisdom not only as a doula but as a mother of 7 children. When I went into labor (18 days early) she showed up promptly and provided such a peace and strength that was present without words. She quietly rubbed my back, reassured me when I doubted myself, and relieved my nausea with essential oils. She stood back to allow my husband to be the main support. In order to limit the amount of people attending my son's birth I was unable to invite a photographer. Rachel stepped up and took some of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. Looking at them, you'd never know I didn't have a professional photographer present. Rachel followed up with me and continued to check in weeks after I had given birth. We had a virtual visit and we discussed my son's birth and she filled in the pieces that weren't as clear in my memory. She not only encouraged me but my husband as well. I don't know what we would have done had we not had Rachel's support. Rachel and her mini fan are unstoppable. I can't recommend her enough. She is divinely gifted and we will certainly request her services for my future pregnancies.

We used a service for nighttime support with our second child and that’s when I got to meet Christina. She used to support us during evening and night shifts and I would recommend her for parents who need the extra support for both baby and mom. She goes above and beyond to help with things like meal prep, organizing, baby laundry, baby baths, cleaning breast pumps and bottles and a few more things. Her baby swaddling techniques were the BEST I’ve seen thus far. Christina is very compassionate and I am beyond grateful for having her help us tremendously through the first few weeks postpartum! 💖

Mozeke was the sweetest midwife. Better than I could have hoped for. She took us on late in my pregnancy after I decided against a hospital birth and made the process so easy and beautiful!

My name is Miriam and I first met Hope in our Intro to Social Work class
in Spring of 2010. Just from what she shared in class and with me, and 
how she lived her life, the things she was passionate about, and the 
people she spoke up for, I sensed that I could trust her. I am now a
 Licensed Clinical Social Worker and confidently affirm that Hope is a 
huge asset to any support team because her heart and soul are all in
 no matter what she does. She believes in people and calls out their
 strengths even when they can’t see it. Hope offered to be part of my birth team with my first daughter and I 
happily said yes! I was in early labor for 3 days and was scheduled to
be induced on a Saturday (January 12, 2018). I came to the hospital
 that day in fear of what induction could mean. Would things just
snowball? Would I need to end up having a C-section?
Contractions/early labor hard started Wednesday and Hope helped
 me get through those hard 3 days before my baby arrived.
Contractions would get worse at night, and became so unbearable 
that I could not sleep. I was going on 3 days of little to no sleep and
Hope would stay up with me, coach me through contractions, coach 
me on what to do - get on the ball, take a warm bath, breathe. During the hardest time for me mentally she was there coaching me
 through it. On the day of delivery my water was supposed to be
broken, but it broke on its own as I was getting on the bed for my OB to
 do it. I labored all day and Pitocin was introduced later in the evening
 when I was not advancing. I was tired and we said yes. At this point I
 had been laboring for 4 days and I wanted her to come. Hope knew
 what to do. She helped create a calm atmosphere in our room. We
 had calming essential oils going, music that meant something to me,
 she was there coaching me through breaths, applying pressure on my
back that was the best relief I could ask for with back labor, rubbed my
 arms through the contractions and at times sensed what I needed 
without me having to ask mid contraction. At one point I started trembling when lying on the bed with a peanut
ball between my legs. Hope stayed close and spoke calmly to me. It
helped me stay calm and focus on contractions even though my body
 was shaking uncontrollably. My baby arrived later on, but Hope stayed
 through all of it. She was the support person I needed in that room.
When our baby came out she even snapped photos which I treasure
 dearly. Hope went above and beyond to make me feel at peace and
 empowered to have my baby on my own terms. Our second daughter Camila was born during the pandemic (August
22, 2020). Hope had volunteered her time to be there again with my
 second baby as the faithful friend she is. Then COVID restrictions came
 and we could have no one in our room. My mind was feeling
overwhelmed. The day I knew she was coming because my
 contractions started feeling painful while nursing my toddler. I was
 getting aggravated just nursing her and knew something was going to
 happen today. We went to the hospital with the intention of staying 
there and having the baby. I was not going to do multiple days of labor
 again. Camila came that day 6 hours after I went to the hospital. During those 6 hours and before, Hope had given us her care package
 with affirmations, her birth ball and all the necessities that helped me
 last time. I birthed with my husband and he was the best support 
person, but it didn’t feel the same this time. I didn’t have my mom. I
didn’t have Hope. Hope added such a calming and supportive
 presence the previous time. She advocated for what I needed and I
 was missing that. She anticipated what I needed and it was a relief to
 not have to think and ask for those things during contractions. This time
 it was different. Hope couldn’t be in the room and I was feeling that. Contractions felt
 harder. I felt tense. I felt like I couldn’t concentrate. I had this mental
block because my other support people I felt I really needed weren’t
 here. I would tense my body and anticipate each contraction with fear.
Previously I was in my zone because I knew all my people had my back. I
 needed all of them and not having them physically there made me feel
 less than peaceful. Towards the end I had my husband Richard call Hope and she talked
 me through contractions and lifted my spirit. She gave me a pep talk
 and I don’t know what she said, but it helped me get in the mindset to
 have this baby. I went from fear to determination after talking to Hope.
Our baby was born less than an hour later, and I give so much credit to
Hope for mentally helping me through a really hard experience. Although my labor was way shorter, it felt more painful and my mindset
 made all the difference. While I was stuck in fear it felt more painful. After
 talking to Hope, I knew what I needed to do and something shifted. I will
forever be grateful for her and the peace she brings to a delivery room
 in person and virtually. My girls are here and we’re all healthy, and
 Hope had lots to do with that. Miriam Hernandez, LCSW Licensed Clinical Social Worker

As a first-time mom with a newborn waking every 2–3 hours, I was completely exhausted—until Jasmine came into our lives. She was calm, professional, and incredibly nurturing. Thanks to her overnight care, I was finally able to get some real rest knowing my baby was in the best hands. She also offered so much helpful guidance and support without judgment. Jasmine was incredibly attentive, respectful of our routines and preferences, and always kept us informed of how the night went. We cannot recommend her enough to any parents looking for expert support and compassionate care during such a vulnerable and beautiful time.

Tuve la oportunidad de que Elizabeth me atendiera en mi segundo parto y aunque ya sabia de qué se trataba estaba llena de dudas e inquietudes. Ella me brindó no solo los cuidados durante el embarazo si no también apoyo emocional y me guió a conseguir el parto de mis sueños con su amplia cartera de proveedores desde quiropractico hasta encontrar una doula. Estoy agradecida de haberla tenido a mi lado y la recomiendo ampliamente por su profesionalismo y calidad Humana.

Tabitha is such an amazing birth worker, I met her when she was a doula and in the beginning stages of midwifery.The way she educated myself as well as my husband showed us that she was really passionate about the profession that she is in. I highly recommend any family to get under her care. Your amazing Tabby keep shining!
