I’m so thankful for Megan and Rooted birth. Megan was so warm and informative from the time I reached out to to her. When I chose her agency I chose Saron as my doula and she is God sent! As a first time mom, I wanted to make sure that I was as prepared as possible to bring my baby into this world. Not to mention we were in the middle of a global pandemic and we’re not from San Antonio, so I had no family around. As with most things, I do extensive research and I am so glad that my search led me to Rooted Birth and Saron. My husband and I spoke with and interviewed several Doulas, but there was something about her spirit. So light and calming, exactly what I prayed for. She was so informative from the moment we decided to work together. Additionally, representation matters and I just loved that she is and advocates for women of color.

When I went into labor Saron was there every step of the way. Accepting my calls in the middle of the night and calmly reminding me to trust my body. I had a 26 hour, natural, unmedicated labor. She never left my side, not even to go and eat! She spent the entire day supporting and coaching me and my husband, all while missing her baby girls birthday. (So yes, our daughters are birthday twins). My ideal birthday plan was fulfilled. I could not have labored the way that I did nor could I have had the same experience without her, AT ALL.

Saron made my husband the biggest believer in Doulas. She was such a wealth of knowledge and support for him as well. He is now telling all future dads how vital having a great Doula is. Saron, we thank you so much and hope that you know how much we appreciate you.

Tori did my placenta encapsulation and had it ready for me before I left the hospital. She also provided an umbilical cord keepsake! If you’re a parent reading this and have any questions about who you should choose, please don’t hesitate. Saron, I hope you know you are the Joneses Doula for life for any subsequent babies to come.

Rachell was our doula and she was absolutely fantastic! We were so blessed to have her support and the support of all the other doulas at Rooted birth! We love our experience!

My experience with Rooted Birth was nothing short of amazing. My doula was Rachell. She was with me from about 4 months before I gave birth. She was available at any time to answer all my questions and made me feel great about going into my natural birth plan and even the bumps along the way when my son was 2 weeks late. The night I was induced, Rachell’s son got sick and couldn’t come to the hospital but the substitute doula, Melanie, stepped into place without hesitation. It felt so comfortable, as if Melanie was supposed to be there all along. She helped make my labor smooth, positive, and just a beautiful experience. I could not and will not do labor and delivery without Rooted Birth by my side!

Yvette is an amazing doula! She helped me during both pregnancies and deliveries. If I was going to get pregnant, I would want Yvette to be a part of my journey again. I always felt I had support from her and was able to ask her anything. My first son was all natural and I was able to deliver him vaginally. She was there to support me as well as my husband and help us ensure our birthing requests were met. My second son was labored naturally, but found breach at 9cm and I had a caesarian section. She supported me the whole process with my second as well. After the boys were born, she checked in on us and was very helpful with postpartum and new mom questions. I highly recommend Yvette as your Doula!

We are so glad We had Aubrey as our doula.

She answered our many questions pre and post birth as my wife and I embarked on having our first born. It really helped put me as a husband at ease, especially as I purposefully didn’t go overboard reading all the books and research and driving myself crazy with anxiety and “what ifs”. Aubrey shared exactly what I needed to know - no more no less. Digestible and applicable. I can’t thank you enough.

She took a huge load off of our shoulders in the postpartum sessions by doing meal prep, laundry, and generally supporting mom with a fussy baby when she needed sleep or a shower. Her support allowed me to get back into the office to do client calls and sessions (I’m a soloproneur so have flexibility of my schedule but also it rests on me).

Aubrey has a passion about birth and childcare and was super knowledgeable in answering our questions. I was also very thankful to have her as a resource as we were thrown a curveball in delivery.

Thank you, Aubrey!!

PS. Aubrey made the best bacon I’ve tasted - and I consider myself a bit of a bacon connoisseur - delicious overnight oats, comforting baked ziti and a killer shredded chicken chili. I was not expecting these lovely bonuses in the postpartum sessions!

Yvette was my postpartum doula, and she was fantastic! I had postpartum depression, my husband was working out of town, we have no family here, and I had no idea what to do or where to look for help. My ob recommended a doula, which I had honestly never thought to have. I found Yvette, and it’s no exaggeration to say that she was a lifesaver. I had had no idea that there were even postpartum doulas, but within a few hours of Yvette’s first visit, I could not imagine postpartum time without her. She had a way with my daughter immediately, and I so looked forward to her every visit. My daughter was only two months old, but I think she looked forward to them, too 😁 5/5 stars, I highly recommend Yvette!

This was our first pregnancy and we needed all the care, advice, and support we can get…Yoly our doula absolutely delivered. My husband and I learned the stages of labor & birth as well as what to expect for postpartum. Our questions & concerns were answered from day one, but, what truly mattered was the love and support during the LONG labor. Yoly was like a big sister, who braided my hair, taught me how to manage the pain, showed my husband how to actively be involved, and allowed him to rest even when she herself was tired. Although this might not mean much to many…I loved that I could communicate to her in my native language, Spanish, I could genuinely say what came to mind without translation. The icing on the cake was the fun activities “homework” she assigned during our pregnancy to help us as a couple visualize the type of birth we wanted along with frequent checking-ins to make sure we both were okay. Yoly was not only there for me but for my partner as well and that made the biggest difference in the world. Thank you Yoly for “Rooting” for us hahah and thank you Megan for the services and team you’ve built.

The ladies at Rooted Birth are phenomenal! I contacted them early in my pregnancy for information and they were always prompt to respond and answer any and all questions.

I chose Saron as my doula and she was everything I could have hoped for and more! She was always ready to listen when I needed to talk through things ahead of the big day. And when the big day finally came, she was there with by me and my husband’s side with the calm and guidance we needed. She maintained that calming presence throughout a long night and even stayed with us for a brief hospital transfer (needed for mom not baby) to make sure everything was okay.

My birth experience would not have been the same without this support! So glad I decided to go with them!
