Find a Postpartum Doula in Houston, TX

My doula journey began in 2008 after the birth of my own child. Although my experience was incredible, the sequence of events lead me to question how things could have been different. I then began researching and learning all that I could about the options birthing people and their partners had during birth. My goal then was to help support families anyway I could and ensure they never felt alone, pressured, or without choice; and 12 years later, it remains the same. My attitude toward birth is very modern and balanced. There is no one size fits all approach to people so there can’t be when welcoming a new human to the world. Regardless of your birth choices, I will support you and ensure you are respected no matter what. Hospital or home, in water or in a bed, midwife or doctor I will stand next to you and your partner with kind eyes and a calm touch. I am also currently adding a Hypnobabies certification to better serve my clients! Whether you have searched for a doula for your fertility, birth, or postpartum period (or all 3!) you may be overwhelmed with the list of questions you would like answered. This is completely normal and I’m happy to chat with you and answer any questions you may have.

Care philosophy

I am a modern doula who is experienced and prepared to support families of all shapes and sizes. I believe all birthing people have the right to be respected, heard, and supported.

  I hired Krystah for post partum care in the hospital for two nights. Hiring her was absolutely the best decision I made. Krystah is very personable and professional. She took great care of me and my new born. I could get the much needed rest as Krystah cared for my baby through the night. She is very knowledgeable about alternative medicine and caring for new borns. She was very punctual and responsive. I higly recommend her to someone who is looking for quality care for the baby and mother likewise.

A Motherly Embrace Doula Services was established 8 years ago when I acted as a Doula for my sister as she birthed my first nephew. It was in those moments that I realized how important it was for mothers to receive unconditional support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I am currently a DONA trained Birth Doula serving women in the Houston and Surrounding areas.

Care philosophy

As a doula I provide emotional, physical, and educational support to help you make informed decisions before, during and after childbirth. I am here to assist the birthing mother and partner throughout this experience. I recognize that birth is an experience and one of the most memorable moments that moms will remember for a lifetime

  Precyann, I have so many things to say here. I will leave it to thank you and i truly cherish our relationship. I love you girl inside and out. Thank you for letting me in to care for you. It is always an honor and privilege to do so. I am here for you and your family.- Natasha

Tania has been preparing birthing couples since 2013. Unhappy with the support she received during her first birth, her sister encouraged her to take an independent childbirth class. Her second birth was healing and her third birth was empowering. This started her passion for safe, natural when possible, and empowering birth. She has since become trained in Spinning Babies, Rebozo use during labor, and Neonatal Resuscitation. She has taught almost 200 couples and attended dozens of births, either as doula support or as a midwife birth assistant. Tania is married to her best friend of 10 years and they have 3 vivacious children together. When she is not reading articles about birth, she can be found chasing her kids around the park or folding laundry. It’s a toss up.

Care philosophy

My goal is to empower the birthing woman/person/couple with information. I inform you of all your options so you can make the best decisions for you and your family. I teach and listen, really listen, without judgement and imposing my views. This is your journey and I’m here to support you!

My passion for nurturing and honoring new parents began with the birth of my son March 2019. I spent months preparing extensively for pregnancy and the labor and delivery, but was completely overwhelmed and unprepared for recovery. I labored in a hospital for 21 hours in what my OB called at my 6 week check up, “text book labor”. Nothing about the labor or my recovery felt “text book” to me as I had envisioned something completely different. I ended up with a pelvic floor tear, urinary incontinence and a postpartum uterine infection contributing to my year long battle with postpartum anxiety and insomnia. I am grateful I knew to advocate for myself because of my therapy training and insist on pelvic floor physical therapy despite being encouraged to “just do kegels”. I felt depleted, anxious and alone those first few months while wondering if I’d ever sleep or feel whole again. Like many individuals, I had many nursing (body feeding / breastfeeding / chestfeeding) challenges including painful, poor latch, and oversupply. Desperate for answers and support, I researched night after night and created my modern day village to include a pelvic health physical therapist, a pediatric dentist to address my son’s oral restrictions, a lactation consultant, a psychologist for counseling and a chiropractor for my son’s bodywork and craniosacral therapy. Knowing what I know now, I wish my village would have included a postpartum doula. My challenging and overwhelming postpartum experience has ignited my passion to help families during this sacred transition with education, resources and non-biased support to allow for the most gentle and joyful transition possible. Postpartum Preparation + Recovery: • Developing a support team and plan for self-care • Physical therapy for pain relief, diastasis healing and pelvic floor recovery • Birth processing and emotional support • Therapeutic massage • Healing food delivery, preparation and education • Light housework while you rest • Sitz bath preparation Baby Care: • Breastfeeding (chestfeeding / bodyfeeding) support • Tummy time and baby wearing education • Education on normal developmental milestones • Bathing and swaddling education • Sleep education • Older sibling care • Resources for referrals, if needed Step 1: Book a complementary 15- minute strategy call with me. Tell me your story so I can customize a plan that best meets your needs. Step 2: Schedule your initial PT assessment or initial doula visit (can be scheduled prior to baby’s arrival or after you return home with baby).

Care philosophy

I provide compassionate, non-biased support for families as they transition into early parenthood. My practice is inclusive and LGBTQ+ affirming.

I sought to become a doula when I was pregnant with my youngest - I feel in love with birth itself and read everything I could to prepare my mind and body the best I could. After walking through intense trauma from his birth (situational, not medical), it only solidified my resolve to become a doula to come alongside other young moms or single moms or women in abusive situations, to support them in this precious time, when no one else will be their voice. I live and support others in Bay Area Houston, mostly through hosting virtual birth and postpartum courses. Find out more about me at www.simplenaturalmama.com

Care philosophy

As a certified birth and postpartum doula, childbirth and breastfeeding educator, and placenta specialist, I am here to meet your need of informational, emotional, physical support, while encouraging you to advocate for your needs/desires, and reinforcing your own familial support during this life-changing experience of labor and postpartum!

Care philosophy

About me! Hii! I’m Vero, the Bilingual Birth Worker. I’m originally from Venezuela; there I graduated as a Clinical Psychologist. When I move to the U.S I wanted to combine my psychology knowledge with my love for the Birth & Maternity world. I cannot be more passioned, driven and committed to what I do, and I can only describe it as my mission in this life.

Those who know me say that my strong desire to provide families with the necessary education, support, and evidence-based knowledge when they desire it most is quickly noticed and my warm-approach in doing so is always appreciated. I like to think that my life work encompasses the best of several worlds; When I’m not serving clients as a Postpartum and Infant Care Doula, you can find me either educating families within my Certified Family Life Educator role or positively impacting lives within my profession as a Social Worker at a local foster care/adoption agency. I enjoy working with parents of all ages, both first-time and seasoned parents, families of different racial/ethnic backgrounds, of varying cultural beliefs, and diverse family structures. And though I have worked with children of all ages, the newborn and infancy period remain my specialty. Get to know me and you will find that I have an extensive history of experience and training specifically relating to the 4th trimester (the first three months of baby and mommy’s postpartum life).

Care philosophy

I like to think my role as a Postpartum Doula is a luxury support service, assisting families through the first few days, weeks, or months of life after baby. This looks very different for every family that I work with but always includes, emotional, physical, and evidence-based informational support while paying special attention to the mother and providing exceptional care for baby.

  Taelor helped provide on-site newborn caregiver training at a conference I was planning. She is dependable and easy to get along with. I highly recommend working with Taelor!

Newly certified birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and breastfeeding counselor. Helping to empower women on the most important journey ever, sends me over the moon. Giving families the knowledge and courage that they are doing themselves and their new life a service, is indescribable.

Care philosophy

I believe every family deserves to have the proper knowledge and education to feel confident and content in the choices they are making regarding their new child. Pregnancy, birth, postpartum and all things included should not ever be scary, but like a honeymoon, beautiful and memorable.

  Working with Nene during labor and delivery was a great experience! This was my very first time working with a Doula and it made the process so much easier and more relaxing. Nene was so informative and knowledgeable during my hospital birth, which made me feel empowered to make the best decisions for me and my baby. I highly recommend her services.
