The Prenatal, Labor and Postpartum care
you deserve In Houston
Everyone's birth story is different. Not all mommies experience labor and the post partum transition the same. What do you envision for your birth plan? How do you want your post partum experience to look? Remember, this is YOUR experience and your chapter to write.
My passion as a doula is to support your transition into motherhood with the best birth experience and postpartum care within our control in Houston.

Marilyn Gonzalez
My birth story didn't go as planned. I was a young, healthy mother-to-be in the 80's. My husband and I attended the necessary birthing classes in order to be allowed in the birthing space. After many hours of laboring in the hospital bed, a C-Section was the only remaining option. I felt deflated and thought I had done something wrong.
I didn't realize I had options, a voice or tools to help me through this very long labor. After all, this was my first baby. In my heart I feel that with the support of a Labor Doula, I could have possibly been able to deliver my baby without surgical intervention. At the very least, I would have had the tools to help me labor in less discomfort than I experienced.
I vowed years later when I learned, researched, certified and gained experience that I would assist women within my Doula capacity to help make this experience a better one.
While you care for baby, we care for you.
You're going through a life transition, to say the least. Your body has changed, your responsibilities are new, and you're eager to get to know your little one.
On top of that you're figuring out breastfeeding, navigating hormonal shifts, and managing your "new normal". If there has ever been a time you need help managing everything, this might be it.
One of the most difficult parts of entering motherhood is that it’s hard to know what type of help will be best. With a postpartum doula you will have help at the ready - no matter what that looks like.
Postpartum doulas can take care of basic household tasks like baby laundry and bottle washing among other light duties. Or, they can take full care of the baby while you enjoy a nice shower, nap or even read a book uninterrupted. A postpartum doula can also lend a listening ear to help you process a birth story or ensure your mental state is stable. Whatever help you may need, we are here.
