About Us
Meet Your Doula
Hello! Thank you for your interest in hiring me to work with your family during your postpartum journey. This is where I get to tell you a little bit about myself. I am 28 years old. I am a certified postpartum doula and a certified newborn care specialist. I am also a wife and a mom to one beautiful toddler. In my spare time I like to draw, read, hang out with my daughter, and watch The Office curled up with my hubby.
Being a post partum doula is one of the most rewarding things I get to do. I am able to provide not only physical support, but also mental and emotional support. I have an array of experience with many different families giving me the ability to provide quality and individualized care to each baby and mom.
Experiencing birth and postpartum personally has given me a whole new outlook on just how important my job is. Everyone tells you how wonderful it is when you finally get to hold the life that has been growing inside of you for months, but no one really tells you about postpartum. Every woman experiences it after giving birth, but not one experience is alike which puts a great emphasis on being able to provide care that is tailored to your specific needs.
Postpartum is tough, but so are you. I am here to be another person on your team. A confidant. A shoulder. A trusted professional.
Your doula.
My Experience
I worked as a nanny for over a decade And was introduced to the doula world in 2017 via one of my nanny families. A year later I was certified, gaining experience as an doula and taking steps to start my own business. In 2019 I started DouLaLa in Texas, serving my own clients and training other doulas. Working as a nanny was great, but what I love most about being a postpartum doula is that I don’t only get to help the babies, I also get to help their mom. My goal when starting DouLaLa was to leave new moms feeling confident, empowered, and (of course) well rested.
My Specialties
I am trained in all things postpartum, however my specialty is sleep training. Those words can be triggering to some, but I assure you that your night care is tailored specifically to you and your needs. Whether that looks like a strict schedule and a specific night time routine or just having extra hands that you trust so you can get the rest that you need.
I also specialize in recognizing the signs and symptoms of PPD, PPA and PPS. I specialize in breastfeeding and formula feeding education, swaddling, healthy sleep habits, and postpartum healing and wellness.
