We're growing! Yes, we. I've joined several amazing doulas in creating a doula agency in Houston that provides a wide range of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum services. Thank you for an amazing two years of love and support. I'd appreciate your continued support over at Houston Central Doulas.

I maintain Infant Loss Texas. It's a growing collection of resources to gather bereavement doulas, support groups, therapists, and final arrangements all in one place. It was Infant Loss Dallas until I started getting requests from Austin and El Paso. If you have provided through circumstance or are certified to provide bereavement support to Texas families, please go on over to infantlosstexas.com and click the "contribute" tab so I can get you listed. There's no fee to be added.

I attended another ProDoula workshop this weekend. It's interesting to contemplate how ProDoula impacts the services I offer to my clients, the way I connect to people, and the ways that they make me a better wife and mother.

I made you all a pretty graphic for Mother's Day Weekend, but it seems my computer has learned from my son and isn't in a mind to cooperate today. ;)

"We are parenting the next generation of innovators, healers, peace makers, and so much more.

Thank you for everything you have done, everything you have sacrificed, and everything you will still do to guide your family into the future.

There are many different paths to motherhood, and this weekend, I honor you.

Happy Mother's Day Weekend!
Love,
Maiden Mother Doula"

Many of us have become good friends, I'm going to miss my Dallas doula tribe pretty hardcore.

Well, I'm getting down to the wire on relocating from Dallas to Houston. There isn't much left to do. I thought I'd tell you about some of the things I witnessed about other Dallas doulas in my time...

Scrolling through my phone and all the cesarean awareness posts, I saw the question, "Did you have a natural birth or a cesarean birth?" Before I became completely unhinged by the internet yet again, I wrote a blog post.

April is Cesarean Awareness Month. As a doula, I see social media ranging through three main ideas. From other doulas, I see the statistics that 1 in 3 women has a cesarean birth. I am that 1 in 3. I...
