What Is a Doula?

A birth doula is a trained professional who provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after childbirth. Unlike a medical provider, a doula doesn’t deliver the baby; she supports the birthing person and their partner, helping them feel calm, confident, and informed throughout the entire process.

Research shows that having a doula can lead to:

  • Fewer interventions

  • Shorter labor

  • Increased satisfaction with the birth experience

My Goal as Your Doula

Support both mothers and fathers through the entire pregnancy and birth process

  • Support both mothers and fathers through the entire pregnancy and birth process

  • Help you understand your rights and explore your birth options

  • Encourage respectful communication with your care team

  • Provide continuous support from pregnancy through early postpartum

  • Offer massage therapy for comfort and relaxation, even for the baby after birth

  • Empower you with education and personalized care

  • Honor your unique birth philosophy — unmedicated, epidural-assisted, hospital, or home birth

    As a birth doula and licensed massage therapist located in Rice, TX, I provide holistic support to families in Corsicana, Ennis, Waxahachie, and nearby areas.

Smart Questions to Ask Before Any Procedure or Intervention:

  • What are the benefits?

  • What are the risks?

  • What are the alternatives?

These three questions can shift your experience from uncertain to empowered, and I’ll be there to help you ask them with confidence.
