HEritage Oak doula

Hey ya’ll, I’m Lacey. Wife to Tim for over 18 years now and mom to Wyatt and Chloe. We moved to hill country in 2019 and absolutely love it here. My home is not always tidy as I’d much rather be in the kitchen cooking meals or baking for my family. We have 3 dogs I’m crazy about and far too many free ranging chickens. I just can’t resist baby chicks in the spring! I’m a good listener and believe everyone has a story to tell. Life is a beautiful, messy journey and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

My training-

I made the decision to work with a local mentor for my training, seeking someone whose beliefs and perspectives resonated with mine. Emily Stanwyck has proven to be an invaluable partner in this journey, and I am thrilled to have connected with her for guidance and support.

Heritage Oak Doula

At Heritage Oak Doula, I understand that the decision to hire a doula is a personal one. While it's true that not everyone needs a doula, my role goes beyond just physical support during labor and birth.

Doulas offer emotional support, evidence-based information, advocacy, and a continuous presence throughout the childbirth experience. I aim to empower families to make informed decisions, which includes your right to informed consent as well as informed refusal and to feel confident in your choices during this transformative time.

Whether you choose to have a doula by your side or not, my goal remains the same— to support families in having a positive and empowering birth experience, tailored to their individual needs and preferences.

I believe

I did not have a doula for either of my births. I had 2 unmedicated hospital births, that I’m really happy with. I truly believe women do NOT need a doula. I believe God has given women everything they need to carry, labor and birth their babies. As your doula I am there to remind you that you were created for this.

my hope

Is that the women I serve leave their fears and anxiety behind. That each woman, no matter where she decides to give birth, feels 100% safe and confident. As each decisions arises you know your options and are prepared to choose what is best for you and your baby.
