Practice overview
Hello, I'm Swaá—pronounced 'sway'—a California native now calling Cypress, TX, in the HTX area, home. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and am a certified Birth Doula by DONA. Committed to ongoing education, I strive to enhance my skills to better support your unique needs. My journey into birth work started during undergrad, where I researched infant and maternal mortality rates in the US. Disturbed by the disparities, particularly for Black women, I felt a calling to make a difference. This led me to become a doula, redirecting my path with purpose.
Initially drawn to home and birthing center deliveries, my focus expanded to encompass hospital births, recognizing the essential need for education, advocacy, and support. Under the guidance of a remarkable mentor, a Licensed Midwife with over two decades of experience, I've served over 40 families and actively participated in the Healthy Start Program, contributing to underserved communities since May 2022. If there's ever anything beyond my scope, I ensure to provide tailored resources. I'm honored to serve my families and feel blessed to witness the success of many births.

Communicated with me the whole time I was in labor, came to the birthing center. Supported my fiance and I though the whole experience. My God I Thank her.
Swaá is apart of our lives forever and we wouldn’t have it no other way! Blessings to you Swaá for doing kingdom work.

She was really sweet over the phone during the initial talk, as well as getting her support in-person. She is organized with the paperwork, sending us agreements, and maintaining communication with us. It gave us peace of mind that she has a baby girl too like us and giving us insight on how to care for our daughter more.

January 4, 2024 at 12:06 pm | Peer reviewI have known Swaa in a professional capacity since her early days as a birth doula. She is very compassionate and intuitive when supporting clients, and strikes a remarkable work-life balance. Swaa is dedicated as a team player and also independently supports her clients in ways that caters to them specifically. Without hesitation, I recommend her to my own clients and others that I meet who are looking for birth support. She would definitely be an asset to your birth team!
