Stephi A. in Houston, TX

The Family Prep Doula Co.

    Practice overview

    I became a doula in 2013 when I realized it was the only job I'd ever wanted. I took my first training with CAPPA, and have since trained with multiple doula organizations and highly-skilled doulas. I continue to train and build my skills every year. I love working with families who break the mold--who build their family on their own terms with love and courage. Birth doula support with me looks like this:


    Minimum of 3 in-person or virtual meetings, plus monthly check-ins
    Education - explanations of terminology and procedures as they come up in care provider appointments
    Planning - budgeting for care, writing a birth plan, and planning for postpartum
    Guidance - prioritizing your goals with actionable steps
    Research - help finding the best available evidence-based information for your unique pregnancy
    Resources - tools to help you plan and learn
    Referrals - introduce you to chiropractors, lactation consultants, massage therapists, acupuncturists, and other care providers whose specialties support your goals
    Physical and emotional support during birth process
    Suggestions for position changes and movement
    Support partner(s) in their role
    Guidance adhering to birth plan or making changes as necessary
    Pre-op and post-op support for Cesarean birth
    Immediate postpartum care
    Newborn feeding help
    In-home follow-up visit

    Care philosophy

    All birthing people deserve care that is informed, evidenced-based, and centered on their needs as individuals.

    I'm only invested in you having access to everything you need as you make decisions about your body, your baby, and your birth.

    Birth is unpredictable, but doula support is constant.

    I respect your agency, advocate for your autonomy, and help you find all the options.

    Zero judgment.
