Hi, I’m LaDereka, a birth doula, certified postpartum doula, and student midwife based in Dallas, Texas. As an Afro-Latina/Black woman born and raised in this vibrant city, I’ve always felt deeply connected to the power and beauty of birth. Supporting families through pregnancy, labor, and the early postpartum journey is not just my career—it’s my calling.

My Approach

As a maternal health practitioner, my goal is to empower and support you and your partner with comfort, confidence, and clarity. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or growing your family again, I’m here to walk alongside you—answering questions, easing anxieties, and celebrating your strength.

I believe every birthing person deserves to feel heard, respected, and cared for throughout their experience. My role is to help you make informed choices that reflect your values and vision for birth.

My Training & Services

With extensive training in prenatal care, labor support, postpartum healing, and more, I bring a wide range of knowledge and skills to each client relationship. Depending on when you choose to bring me into your care team, I can offer:

• Nutritional and exercise guidance

• Birth planning and decision-making support

• Facility or provider referrals

• Physical and emotional labor support

• Postpartum recovery support

Every family is unique, so I offer personalized care tailored to your specific needs and goals. Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, natural birth, medicated birth, or cesarean, I’ll be by your side—offering calm, unbiased, and culturally grounded support.

A Safe, Inclusive Space

Parenthood is a journey that looks different for everyone. I honor and welcome all birthing people, regardless of age, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or relationship status. You belong here.
