      <image:title>Birth 1-9 - Rochelle DeShay</image:title>
      <image:caption>The carefree spirit and profound wisdom that children naturally embody is a beautiful and joyous gift. While having children of my own was not part of God’s plan, I’ve found deep fulfillment in caring for little ones over the past four decades. For 20 years, I worked with children in a variety of roles—from daycare centers to family protective services and even supporting teen mothers. Through these experiences, I discovered a calling to help families during the earliest and most tender stages of life. In 2021, I stepped away from my role with the state to focus on giving back to my community in a more personal way. I completed my postpartum doula training and began supporting women directly in their homes. Supporting women, babies, and families during the early postpartum months fosters deep connection and essential healing. I believe that strong families are built on strong, nurturing foundations—and it’s an honor to be part of that beginning Training: Doulas of Austin Additional Training: YCPR, FIRST AID, CPS Email: deshayrochelle8@gmail.com Website: https://madeinlovedeshay.square.site/</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The carefree spirit and profound wisdom that children naturally embody is a beautiful and joyous gift. While having children of my own was not part of God’s plan, I’ve found deep fulfillment in caring for little ones over the past four decades. For 20 years, I worked with children in a variety of roles—from daycare centers to family protective services and even supporting teen mothers. Through these experiences, I discovered a calling to help families during the earliest and most tender stages of life. In 2021, I stepped away from my role with the state to focus on giving back to my community in a more personal way. I completed my postpartum doula training and began supporting women directly in their homes. Supporting women, babies, and families during the early postpartum months fosters deep connection and essential healing. I believe that strong families are built on strong, nurturing foundations—and it’s an honor to be part of that beginning Training Organization: Doulas of Austin Additional Training:CPR, FIRST AID, CPS Email: deshayrochelle8@gmail.com Website: https://madeinlovedeshay.square.site/</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I decided to become a birth worker shortly after becoming a parent. It was only after the lack of care and compassion I received during a premature birth and loss followed by the beautiful and supportive care I received with my rainbow baby that I had come full circle. Being a postpartum Doula is my way of giving back. I specialize in twins, postpartum overnight care, pregnancy after loss, infertility support and the LGBT experience as I have traveled and live(d) those paths. My postpartum doula style is relaxed. I care for your baby like I would my own with the added bonus of complete transparency and integrity.

      <image:caption>Hi! Im Vanessa, and it is an honor to help you figure out how you want to parent. In whatever way parenthood may look for you- I got you! With 10 years experience as a postpartum doula helping families one thing I've learned is the amount of pressure you feel. Between family, friends, the internet much less the entire world telling you how things will go and what to do or how to do it. My approach is to walk along side you giving you facts and evidence based information so you and things can feel a little more at ease.

I was inspired to become a doula shortly after having my second daughter and going through the motions alone; I started searching for other women to relate too and quickly discovered that so many women feel the same way and lacked support, which lead me to the wonderful world of Doula's! My goal as a Doula is to help empower women and their families through this beautiful change, while ensuring that mom is able to rest and heal her mind and body. I am passionate about helping families transition smoothly into their new roles by providing emotional and physical support for the entire family. During this change, parents often forget to take care of themselves. As a doula, I believe that it is vital to remind and empower parents to make time for self care, sleep and nutritious meals so that they can best support their little bundle of joy. I hope to leave my families feeling rejuvenated and prepared for their parenting journey!

      <image:title>Postpartum 37+ - Dianna Tynes</image:title>
      <image:caption>I decided to become a doula following the birth of my twins. After experiencing HELLP syndrome, an emergency C-section, trouble with breastfeeding, overwhelming exhaustion, postpartum depression and anxiety, and taking care of a toddler and twins simultaneously, I knew there were other families going through the same issues. My desire is to encourage and support mothers, fathers, and their babies after birth.

      <image:title>Birth 16+ - Molly McConnell (She/They)</image:title>
      <image:caption>I was gearing up for a PhD in Sociology when my Memaw, Helen,—our family’s fierce matriarch—passed, just days after I first Googled “what’s a doula?” (no joke). Grieving with my family, I realized how birth and death are kindred: wild, tender, deeply human. I fell head-over-heels for doula work. Since then, I’ve trained widely, founded Healing Birthwork, and now serve as GALS’ Data &amp; Evaluations Director. A forever-learner and Reproductive Justice advocate, I hope to make room in this world for all radical and transformative love—one birth at a time.

      <image:title>Birth 16+ - Sabrina Rodriguez (She/Her)</image:title>
      <image:caption>My name is Sabrina Rodriguez, and I am thrilled to serve as a birth doula in Austin, Texas. Originally from Puerto Rico, I’ve been living in Austin since 2014, where I have helped build a loving home with my wonderful husband, 13-year-old daughter, and our two dogs; Pepper &amp; Charlie. After uncovering a passion for birth work during my own pregnancy journey, I finally pursued my dream of becoming a certified birth doula with Doula Trainings International in 2021. As your doula, I am committed to helping your family achieve a positive birth experience. I believe in the power of informed decision-making and will empower you to ask your provider the right questions in order to make informed decisions about your care and provide resources as needed to support you in making the best choices for your birth.

      <image:title>Birth 16+ - LEILANI ROGERS (SHE/HER)</image:title>
      <image:caption>When asked how I became interested in birth, I talk about how my babies came early and I became a number, identified by weeks and centimeters. Hoping for a more empowering and nurturing birth experience with my last child, I hired a doula. I learned then how essential doulas are. This, coupled with 12 years experience in documenting birth, has defined my understanding of the labor process and fine tuned my ability to provide individualized care and support to expecting families.

      <image:title>Birth 16+ - Amanda Troxel</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a Quantum Holistic Doula, which means I believe that childbirth is a transformative event and I understand that pregnant women have access to altered states of consciousness, especially during labor. My role is to create an environment in which the natural and sacred unfolding of birth can take place. I also make sure each stage of birth, including the Quietude, which has for the most part been forgotten, will be honored with as little interference as possible.
