Amelia is a DONA trained birth doula (2019) from Minnesota. She holds a BA in Global Studies with emphasis on South American studies and Global Public Health. Birthwork found her when she was working on a research project about women giving birth in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. Following her project, she immediately got trained as a birth doula and hit the ground running. She was a volunteer doula for the first part of her doula career while simultaneously working as a health educator in non-profit clinics in both Minneapolis and Austin. Amelia eventually adhered to her calling and shifted to working in birthwork full time. For Amelia, birth is a sacred and ceremonial part of life. She is passionate about advocating for families and following their lead as they go through this transformational experience. Amelia enjoys incorporating essential oils, movement, meditation, mantra, and light touches of humor into her work. Outside of birthwork you might find Amelia teaching yoga, travelling, hanging with her cats, or hiking with her partner.

I am a birth doula and owner of ATX Doulas. I work on the birth team and could be one of the doulas that supports you for your birth. Prenatally you would be supported by our whole team, including myself. This really allows us to pour from a full cup, ensures that you will always have someone available to speak with, and you are getting information from a huge wealth of knowledge. We also offer postpartum services and many classes. We offer a one day childbirth class that gets into the nitty gritty of physiological birth, hospital vs out of hospital birth, comfort measures, interventions and more! In addition to Childbirth Ed, we offer private one on one classes that we do in your home. These classes focus on Comfort Measures for labor, breast/bodyfeeding, and infant care.
