The way I work
-
Know your options
We talk through how hospitals tend to work, the choices you may be offered, and the questions worth asking.
-
Comfort you’ve practiced
Positions, breathing, touch, and TENS for labor, rehearsed with you and your partner before the big day.
-
Honest answers
Clear, down-to-earth education about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, without fear or jargon.
-
Room for your partner
Partner coaching is part of the plan, so the person beside you knows exactly how to help.
-
Care within reach
Three birth packages, including a Pay-It-Forward rate that helps keep support affordable for other families.
Meet your doula
Hi, I’m Naomi.
Being a doula is my calling, not just my job. I listen closely, I’m honest about how hospitals tend to work during labor and delivery, and I help you find your own voice in the room.
I also believe every family deserves support, whatever their budget. That is why birth support comes in three packages, including a Pay-It-Forward rate that helps keep care within reach for other families.

Questions families ask
What does a doula actually do?
A doula gives you continuous emotional, physical, and informational support. That means comfort measures, help understanding your options, and a steady presence for you and your partner. I’m a non-medical support professional, so I work alongside your OB or midwife, never in place of them.
Is a doula only for unmedicated births?
Not at all. Support looks different for every birth, and I’m there for you whether you’re planning an epidural, an induction, or a cesarean.
When should I reach out?
As soon as you’re thinking about support. Your retainer holds your due date window on my calendar, so reaching out earlier gives you the best chance of booking the dates you need.
How does the pricing work?
Birth support comes in three packages: $550, $850, and $1,200. You choose the package that fits your household. The Pay-It-Forward rate helps keep lower-cost support available for another family.
What area do you serve?
I’m based in San Antonio. In-home and hospital support has no travel fee within about 50 miles, which includes Boerne and New Braunfels, and I travel farther for a flat round-trip fee. Virtual prenatal sessions happen on Google Meet, wherever you are.
What if I have a medical question or an emergency?
Call your OB, midwife, or care provider for medical questions. In an emergency, call 911. I can help you think through what to ask, but I don’t give medical advice.
Not sure what you need yet?
Tell me a little about your due date and what’s on your mind. We’ll figure out the right support together.
