Holistic, Evidence-Based Care From Fertility to Postpartum
Our Approach to Care
Collective Care From Fertility to Postpartum
You’re not just looking for a doula. You’re looking for a team that gets what’s at stake—and knows how to hold you through it.
You deserve education that empowers you. Advocacy that protects you. And hands-on support that reminds you you’re strong enough for this.
Birthing Noire Doula Collective brings Houston families holistic, evidence-based care designed to transform how you experience every stage of your journey.
We’ve built something different:
Clinical knowledge from a former labor & delivery nurse. Grounded support from certified doulas who teach comfort measures and hold space. Newborn care expertise from a specialist with 18 years of experience. Relief coverage when labor is long—so you never lose support.
This isn’t one person trying to do it all. This is a team that knows how to work together so you feel held at every stage.
You’re Not Doing This Alone Anymore
Trying to conceive can feel like it’s taking over your life—every cycle, every test, every “maybe this month.” You’re doing all the right things, but it still feels heavy, uncertain, and isolating.
What you get: Virtual fertility doula support rooted in clarity, compassion, and strategy. Whether you’re early in your journey or have been trying for a while, Mitsuzi helps you create a plan that supports both your body and your mind.
What changes for you:
- You understand your cycle—not just the basics, but what’s actually happening in your body
- You have someone to process the emotional weight with, not just the medical facts
- You stop Googling symptoms at 2am and start making informed decisions with confidence
- You’re reminded that you’re not broken—you’re becoming
This is support that honors your emotions, educates you on your options, and reminds you that you don’t have to carry this alone.

Walk Into Birth Informed. Walk Out Whole.
Whether this is your first baby or you’re preparing to birth differently this time, one thing is clear—you want to feel calm, confident, and fully seen.
What you get: A collaborative care model that combines education, advocacy, and hands-on labor support.
- Mitsuzi creates your birth plan with you—translating medical language, helping you understand your options, and empowering you to make decisions that feel aligned with your values
- Your primary doula (Shaniya or Megan) teaches you and your partner comfort measures—breathing techniques, movement, positions, coping strategies that actually work when labor gets intense
- During labor, your doula holds space—reminding you you’re doing this, advocating for you, supporting your partner, and staying steady when things feel overwhelming
- If your labor extends beyond 12 hours, Mitsuzi steps in to give your doula a break—so you get fresh support and no one is running on empty
What changes for you:
- You walk into the hospital (or your home birth) with a plan that makes sense—not just hope
- You understand your contractions, your body, and what questions to ask
- Your partner knows how to support you instead of feeling helpless
- You have someone who knows how the hospital system works and how to navigate it with you
- You don’t lose support if your labor is long—you stay held through every hour
- You leave understanding what happened and why, not confused or traumatized
This isn’t just about having a birth plan. It’s about having a team that helps you honor it—even when things get intense.
Available: In-person (Houston) or Virtual
PRENATAL COACHING
Birth Classes Teach You How to Breathe. This Teaches You How to Navigate the Hospital.
You’ve read every blog. Taken the classes. But you still feel anxious about what actually happens when you get to the hospital—and you’re tired of generic advice that doesn’t answer your real questions.
What you get:
- 3 monthly virtual coaching sessions with an L&D nurse who’s been in thousands of birth rooms
- Session 1 (Weeks 20-28): Build your birth plan, understand your provider’s approach, and learn what questions to ask now—not in labor
- Session 2 (Weeks 29-35): Learn to read your contraction pattern, navigate the hospital timeline from triage to delivery, and train your partner to advocate for you
- Session 3 (Weeks 36-38): Create your personalized go-time strategy, prepare for contingencies, and get final postpartum prep that hospitals don’t tell you about
- Email support between sessions so you’re never left wondering
- Personalized strategy plans based on your body, your hospital, and your birth goals
What changes for you:
- You stop Googling “when should I go to the hospital?” at 2am and actually know what to look for
- You understand what questions to ask your provider before labor starts—not when it’s too late
- You know how to decline interventions respectfully and when they’re actually necessary
- Your partner feels confident supporting you instead of helpless and scared
- You walk into birth feeling prepared, not panicked
- You understand how hospitals work well enough to work with the system instead of against it
This isn’t another birth class. This is personalized nurse-led strategy so you can walk into the hospital informed and walk out whole.
