Kesha B. | Doula in Mansfield, TX

Blended Baileys Birth and Babies

    Practice overview

    My work as a doula began in the 90s when I supported my best friend during her birth. I trained as a birth doula in 2000 and shadowed a group of doulas for about a year. In addition, I spent 10 years working as a postpartum doula and newborn/infant care specialist. I chose not to certify with a larger doula agency as I did not want the agency governing my work. In 2014, I completed training as a certified medical assistant. Then went on to work for a chiropractor and a pediatrician for 2 years. I also spent a few years working with children and families experiencing hardships, while continuing to serve my doula clients. I have a love for learning and have continued my education becoming certified in my doula work and being trained in a variety of areas. These areas include baby-led weaning, safe sleep practices, car seat safety, and lactation.

    Care philosophy

    I support families during their journey no matter what it may look like. My clients have a VIP experience. There is a time and a place for modern medicine. However, naturalistic and wholistic healing is where I gravitate when coaching families through their journey. Every family needs to be supported in having the birth they choose, YOUR birth, YOUR way!

      Kesha provided me with virtual birth support during the covid outbreak. I was 5 weeks early but she kept me calm and focused. She stood up for me when I have a hard time standing up for myself. She was the biggest reason that I felt in control during my labor. Thank you Kesha for your support not only during labor but post-partum as well.

      Kesha has always been there, she is so knowledgeable and understanding. She is willing to be there with you and help you through what you’re going through. I look forward to talking to her and getting to learn about things from her.

      I cannot articulate into words the admiration and love I have for Kesha. She has so much love in her heart for the Lord, and that love shines through in all things she does. Her clients could not be in better hands, as Kesha supports and “mothers the mother” like no other doula I’ve had the privilege of working with. Over the years, Kesha has become a cherished friend – you can’t help but love her. Kesha has also proven to be an exemplary doula throughout the years and her skills are unparalleled, so much so that Kesha is now our lead doula trainer for The Elite Doula & Co Training Academy. I’d honestly be lost without her! 100 stars!!!
