Congratulations on your pregnancy and thank you for contacting me. After 12 years of doula work I opened a birth center, Heart of Houston Birth and Wellness Center, and am pursuing my degree in midwifery. I am excited for this new stage in my journey as a birth worker but I will definitely miss doula work. Luckily for the pregnant folks of Houston my doula partners in the TLC Doula Group will continue to serve families in and around the city. I also highly recommend the folks at Premier Doulas of Houston. While I am no longer offering doula services I am still facilitating pregnancy, postpartum and parenting support circles as well as childbirth education classes through a program called the Whole Heart Collective which is open to anyone regardless of where they are planning on delivering.

Congratulations again, friends. I hope you have an easy pregnancy and a beautiful birth.

With Gratitude,
