birth

There is nothing more special than the birth of your baby. Our goal is to be there to support you during labor. This includes helping with pain relief through the use of massage, accupressure, positioning and use of the birth ball. We also utilize water therapy, hot/cold therapy, relaxation/breathing techniques. In addition we have a tens unit available for our clients, with the approval of their care provider. Our birth prices include 1 prenatal visit, 24/7 availability (two weeks prior to due date), phone consultations and continuous support once active labor has begun as well as a one hour postpartum visit after baby comes home.

If needed we will be happy to work out a payment plan with you prior to your babies birth.

We accept Visa, Mastercard & Discover.

When my daughter Olivia was born I was so grateful to have the help of one of the San Antonio Birth Doulas. The birth was much more stressful than I anticipated, but with Carol's help I was able to have a vaginal birth and a healthy baby. Her help with breathing & positioning helped keep me focused. She brought a peaceful presence to Olivia's birth.

Thank you so much for your love, care & support during the birth of our daughters. Having you with us made this birth a wonderful, positive experience. So different from our first birth where we felt like we were at the mercy of the hospital staff. You were so considerate of our feelings and a great advocate for us with the staff. We wouldn't have wanted to do it without you!

Love,

Carol was a god send during my wife's pregnancy and labor. Having her around to answer all my questions and especially to calm me down during labor was invaluable. She knew exactly what to do and when to do it which ultimately made it a lot easier and less painful on my wife. I would have been lost without her and who knows how long the labor would have lasted without her expertise to assist us in knowing how to speed things along. I will most certainly use her again in the future and I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula. Thank you so much Carol for all you did for me and my family!

Dear Carol,

Eric & I want you to know how much we appreciate your help, guidance and support. You really were a guiding light for me in helping me to see how I could succeed in my goal of a safe & happy vbac. I know how hard it can be to help people achieve their goals, so I especially appreciate all the hard work you put into being a doula. I know in my heart I would not have succeeded without you. For that I am more thankful than I can say.

Love,

Julie

I am currently offering my birth clients $25 off of any postpartum service when booked in conjunction with their birth

With my first pregnancy I was diagnosed late in pregnancy with a condition called choleostasis or ICP. This is a condition that is life threatening to the baby and the best treatment is to be induced. Because my doctors kept putting off my induction my sweet baby girl Rain was stillborn. At the birth of my 2nd daughter Serenity, I was blessed to have the help of my doula Carol Marley. I was so.... nervous throughout my pregnancy. I had crazy anxiety that something terrible would happen. When I hired Carol I told her my story and how much I wanted this baby delivered by 36 weeks due to my previous experience. It turned out that they couldn't deliver her until 37 wks. That sent me into a terrible depression because I knew the risk of stillbirth goes up dramatically after 36 wks. During that last week Carol called me every single day, most days more than once. She would just call to check on me and see if I needed anything. She would spend a long time just talking to me, praying for me over the phone and telling me such calming things. She came to my house several times and I never felt rushed and always asked her a million questions. Having to be induced scared me too. She met me at the hospital the day of my induction. I was spazzing because I was so.. scared. I just wanted to have my baby in my arms, healthy and ALIVE! She helped me get through the labor and kept me calm the whole time. She has continued to be there for me after the birth and has helped me in soo..many ways. My favorite part about her is that she got me :) I highly recommend Carol. I would 200% use her again.

Thank you so much,

Megan, Sal, Rain & Serenity
