Birth Advocacy for neurodivergent, fat and bipoc families

My mission is to help women and families feel safe to nurture themselves and their families. The birth space is private and sacred. I work hard to follow your cues and curate a space that enables your body to flow smoothly during your baby’s birth.

MY ServiceS

A healthcare team attends to a patient lying in a hospital bed, with two monitors in the background and a healthcare worker wearing a face mask and glasses beside the bed.

  • Serving Central Texas’s Neurodivergent, Black and Fat parents with labor, birth and immediate postpartum support. I am to help women and families feel safe to nurture themselves.

  • Mentorship supports a Doula’s growth by providing someone to connect with after a challenging birth, a client contact, and aids in the establishment of their business.

  • Stay ahead of the game by knowing your rights, options, and choices during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. You’ll be ready because you took the time to get all the education and practical tips available.

Hey yall!

I’m Michelle, and I want you to be so ready for your baby and this new phase of life! Removing fear is IMPORTANT in birth, and I will be your cheerleader, confidant, and powerhouse of praise during this process. By cracking jokes, offering meaningful touch, and using non-medical terminology, I’m here to help you understand what is happening in your space.

This is your birth and your time to shine. I will be with you at home or at the hospital to make sure you are always heard, respected, and honored, but I never replace a partner, spouse, or family member. It is my mission to make sure the space stays focused on you and your goals.

I am the birth bestie, along for the ride, and listening for your cues. If there is a reason to pivot, I want you to have all the options and be ready for that change.
