Hi! My name is Samantha Kelly. I am a DONA trained birth doula, certified lactation counselor, and certified childbirth educator, living in Kyle, Texas. I grew passionate about birth work during my second pregnancy, when I decided that I wanted to be the one in control of the decision-making surrounding my pregnancy and birth. I didn’t want to be told how it would go, but I wanted to work in a team with my care providers so that we could bring my baby into the world safely, and joyfully. Following that life changing pregnancy, I knew I wanted to be a part of other journeys as well, and help other birthing parents feel that same joy and empowerment that I felt.
My goal as a doula is to give evidence-based information to help parents make informed decisions about their pregnancy and birth. I provide kind, loving, and compassionate care to all parents, by proving emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy and birth. Through extensive training and personal experience, I am prepared to support all journeys, from conception to postpartum.
As a birth worker, I have found that I am able to serve my clients best when I work in a team. This way, I am able to support my clients to the very best of my abilities, and when it’s time to be with my family, I am able to be fully present with them. To this end, I have partnered with the amazing Ciarra Morgan to provide partnered doula services. Learn more about why we chose this route and how it works here.
When I am not immersed in the birth world, I spend my time with my husband David, and our two kids, Micah and Brylee. We love getting outside to play, spending time with loved ones, and cheering on Austin FC!
