Hope Balfa

Hi, I’m Hope Balfa, MSW, CLC — a certified life coach, birth doula, Master's-level Social Worker, and mother of two based in Waco, Texas. Through my practice, Liminal Light, I support women and birthing people through life’s most sacred transitions — from pregnancy and birth to postpartum and parenting. My approach blends my social work education, trauma-informed care, and holistic coaching to nurture the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. I believe birth is not something we simply get through — it’s something we grow through. My goal is to help you feel grounded, informed, and empowered as you bring life into the world. Whether your birth unfolds at home, in a hospital, or in a birth center, I’m here to help you feel safe, seen, and supported every step of the way.

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

Hi, I’m Reyna, and I’m honored to support families through one of the most meaningful transitions of their lives. I am a DONA-certified birth and postpartum doula, as well as a certified childbirth educator, dedicated to providing holistic, evidence-based, and personalized care. I am CPR First-Aid and AED certified. My background includes extensive experience as a nanny, where I developed a deep understanding of newborn care, child development, and the day-to-day needs of growing families. I also have experience working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), which strengthened my ability to provide patient, adaptable, and family-centered support. As your doula, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where you feel heard, informed, and confident in your choices. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum recovery, or adjusting to life with your newborn, I am here to walk alongside you with encouragement and care, and to ease and anxiety and fears. I believe every family deserves to feel supported, respected, and nurtured—and it would be a privilege to be part of your journey.

Reyna was honestly such a huge help for our family, especially in those first few weeks. She supported me with breastfeeding in a way that felt patient and encouraging, never pushy or overwhelming. Whenever I was struggling or unsure, she took the time to walk me through things and made me feel a lot more confident. Her night nanny support was a lifesaver too. Being able to rest knowing our baby was in such caring and capable hands made a world of difference. She handled everything so calmly and gently, and I always felt at ease. What really makes Reyna stand out is how real and caring she is. She shows up with so much warmth and genuinely wants to help. It never felt like just hiring someone—it felt like having someone in our corner. Shr was always there to pick up the phone or answer a text. I’d absolutely recommend her to any family needing extra support.

Angelique Woodstock Popular: among the most-viewed doulas in Texas, last 60 days

NPI verified Responds within an hour

Hi, I’m Angelique — a birth doula, childcare professional, and mama with a deep passion for supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I believe birth is one of the most transformative seasons in a woman’s life, and every mother deserves to feel heard, informed, supported, and cared for throughout the journey. My role as your doula is to provide calm, compassionate, judgment-free support while helping you feel confident in your choices and connected to your birth experience. My philosophy centers around education, advocacy, emotional support, and creating a peaceful environment where families can feel safe and empowered. Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth, epidural, induction, cesarean, hospital birth, or home birth, I believe there is no “one right way” to give birth — only the way that feels right for you. I support parents by offering evidence-based education, comfort measures, encouragement, partner support, and a grounding presence throughout labor and postpartum. I value gentle, family-centered care and strive to help parents enter this new chapter feeling strengthened, supported, and deeply seen.

Angelique is amazing. The amount of support during my postpartum journey has been phenomenal! The prayers, the amount of phone calls I’ve made constantly since my daughter is my first child and all of the information given has made me at ease in my mind and heart. She is super knowledgeable on ALL things baby and postpartum. She made time to come visit me in person as well to make sure my wellbeing was in good shape! Thank you for everything!
