The first sign of a positive pregnancy test has the possibility to send parents into a whirlwind of emotions and create an endless list of “to-dos”. One of which might be, research doulas in Dallas-Fort Worth. Some people will want a doula no question, while it might be a new concept for others. I personally did not have a doula for either of my births, but I have heard nothing but great things! Doulas offer all kinds of support – emotional, mental, and physical. Doulas can also help alleviate some of the burden from your birthing partner.

Collective Moments by Kaelin
Kaelin
IG: @collective.moments.doulatog
Kaelin’s niche as a Doula is that she offers birth support AND photography to limit the number of bodies in the birthing environment and to really contrive those close connections with clients who need somebody flexible to do whatever needs to be done to support the birthing person and partner. She provides education throughout pregnancy and birth and loves to create a sense of empowerment around the entire journey. Her goal is to be a supportive figure in any birth environment or situation, but ultimately to normalize birth as an intuitive and autonomous process that doesn’t need to be managed as a medical emergency, rather, a natural bodily function until indicated that further intervention is needed.
