ALL. OF. THIS. We have intentionally chosen to decrease our social media presence recently so that we can dedicate more of our time and energy on what truly matters to us; delivering personalized education and skilled doula support in a meaningful way. Less virtual connection and more HUMAN connection is what feels good to us and serves our community well!

Oftentimes when people discuss childbirth, one well-meaning sentiment always seems to arise: "It doesn’t matter how you give birth, as long as your baby comes out healthy". While we can certainly appreciate people wanting to remove the judgment that often surrounds women’s choices and experiences, it’s disingenuous to say that how a woman gives birth doesn’t matter. As one of the most significant events in her life, childbirth matters - a lot. Doulas of Austin not only respects that, but we are committed to helping you achieve a birth story in which you felt empowered and fully informed to make the decisions that were best for you and your baby.

In 2000, I began my career doing my heart's work as a Registered Nurse in Labor & Delivery/Postpartum. Over the years, I’ve worked in maternity in just about every capacity. I eventually came to realize from working so intimately with new families that there was an enormous need for better preparation for birth and early parenting, which lead me to start .

I am eternally grateful for all the families who have trusted me enough to care for them during such a transformative time.

Happy !

Shifting from bedside nursing to owning a doula agency has provided me the honor and responsibility of ensuring new families are nurtured and well informed, and my team and I could not be more grateful for the opportunity.

It is truly an honor…

It's really cooling off here in Austin! Did you know that your baby can get overheated if they are wearing too many layers of clothes and/or bedding (sometimes called overbundling)? Overheating increases babies’ risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
To avoid overheating while still keeping your baby cozy during chilly months:

Dress baby in clothes suitable for the temperature of the room

Use a wearable blanket or an extra layer of clothes to keep baby warm without adding items to the sleep area

Make sure baby’s head and face stay uncovered during sleep

Remove baby's hat when indoors

Watch for signs that baby is too hot, such as sweating, flushed or red skin, or their chest feeling hot to the touch

Undoubtedly, one of life’s most beautiful moments is giving birth. And nothing, especially her mother, can encourage a mother to be like her family.

The postpartum mother is recovering and trying to settle in with a new baby. Admire the infant, but please nurture and see the new mom too.
