I graduated from Baylor University with a degree in anthropology where I learned a bit about maternal health & childcare around the world. For as long as I can remember, I have had a deep pull towards motherhood & all the stages of it. I discovered a passion for prenatal & postpartum care while walking alongside my sister through her pregnancy, birth, & postpartum journey. I got to see the beauty of every step & relationships that form so deeply during this time and I was hooked! I love that I get to be a part of this journey as a doula & capture those precious moments through photography. I’m passionate about hormonal health & cooking, & I love to bring this into my work. I believe we were created for relationship & community & I’m so thankful you’re here

This was an amazing experience. I had never witnessed a birth. I got to see Abigail help my nephew come to this world in the most beautiful and peaceful way. The nurses even commented on the amazing aromatherapy. The atmosphere was perfect. The lights were off mostly. Nothing at all like the clinical experiences I had seen on TV. My sister in law said the hip compression really helped with the contraction pain. Cannot recommend Abigail enough ♥️ I know she will be my first call when I get pregnant ♥️

Hello everyone! My name is Jody Janek and I am a birth doula. My background is education in many areas: home economics, child development, early childhood, special education and ended with school counseling for pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. I'm married to my lifelong sweetheart and I have three amazing grown children that have three amazing spouses. My absolute joy in life is being a Lolli to four precious grandbabies and more to come!!! I love birth! I feel that there is no birth story better than any other. My goal as a doula is to keep you calm, peaceful, and fearless with lots of love and positive affirmations. Let me help you make your "dream birth" come true.
I wasn’t sure I would need a doula or not. This was my second unmedicated birth and my first went well so we questioned the value. When I tell you it made my birth experience tremendously different, it made a world of difference. My birth this time was about half the time of my first and the contractions picked up quickly. It was amazing to have someone guide my labor the whole way, time contractions for me, play my playlist, help do hip squeezes and comfort measures before I even asked for them. There was a point when I had stalled and my midwife suggested breaking my water to help progress things. I was in laborland and couldn’t think at that point, and Jody guided me through the risk and reward factors to help me make an informed choice. Having her helped my husband be less anxious because he had her knowledge and support to lean on. She knew when to step in and when to step back. If birth had a best friend, it would be Jody. I highly recommend her to anyone in or out of hospital for any birth, but especially if your goal is an unmedicated birth, book her now and thank me later!

Hi, I’m Hope Balfa, MSW, CLC — a certified life coach, birth doula, 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 am located in the Waco area. I have two children of my own and a third on the way. For 12 years, I have helped ladies with Postpartum Doula, nursing, and birth doula. I recently took a birth Doula/postpartum Doula/lactation consultant class to be officially certified and further my education in these areas. My passion is to help ladies have the best birth, postpartum, and nursing experiences.
Shoshannah is so kind and patient. We had her at our birth, and she was such an outstanding support. She’s always there to know exactly what the need is, is never too pushy, is extremely sensitive, and is there to help precisely as she can. She also was such a great help in educating me about nursing through her own experience and her studying. We highly recommend her!

We had our son in 2014 and it was then that I was able to experience the wonderful involvement of having a Doula by my side, supporting and advocating everything I wanted for my birth. After having our son, I soon realized my love and passion for pregnancy, birth, new mothers, and babies. Supporting women during their birth is what I was meant to do! I would be blessed to be with you, by your side in helping to educate, support and nurture you in your birthing journey.

Love & Light! I’m Tarynn (like Aaron with a T in front), a Birth and Postpartum Doula, Placenta Encapsulator, and Midwifery Student with a deep passion for supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. With over 7 years of experience as a CNA, including time in labor and delivery, I witnessed firsthand the gaps in support and advocacy for moms and birthing people.

I take a holistic, heart-centered approach, weaving in meditation, movement, sound baths, and herbalism to honor your unique journey. When I’m not supporting clients or studying, I’m singing 90s R&B at karaoke, watching Philly sports, or adding to my fragrance collection. I’d be honored to walk alongside you!
