Destineé Cameron, Office Manager & Certified Lactation Counselor, TX

Hello everyone! As a graduate of San Diego State University (B.S. in Child and Family Development), I worked as a preschool teacher spending time with children ranging from 3 month olds to school-aged. During my sophomore year of college, I discovered my true and ultimate passion for working with families while along their chest and breastfeeding journeys. I thoroughly believe that pregnancy and postpartum are one of the most vulnerable times during a family’s life, therefore getting to offer my services and provide unwavering support, attention and love is something that I hold close to my heart. I am extremely excited to connect with you and your family whether it be organize your doula services with our someone from our tremendous team or assist alongside you all in your chest and breastfeeding journey.

Deanna McClerkin, SR Birth & Postpartum Doula & Belly Binder, TX

After assisting several friends and family members with labor and the care of their newborn babies, I took a leap of faith and began studying for my postpartum & birth doula certification with The International Doula Institute. I love to offer support, empower, and comfort parents during postpartum and pregnancy. I am the wife of an amazing husband of 21 years and a mother of four wonderful children and two fur babies who make each day of my life complete. My passion for education transfers not only to my children but to my clients as well. I often refer to the poem, “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost as I feel it makes all the difference.


Jenna DePorter, JR Birth Doula, AZ

Hello! My name is Jenna and I am a Jr. birth doula and childbirth educator based out of Phoenix, AZ! I am new to the field after a career change from teaching special education. I have been passionate about birth work and supporting birthing persons ever since having birth doula support for my son who is 4. It was a transformative experience for me and I have never felt so empowered! I will help advocate for you and will have tools available to support your mind, body and soul as you bring your baby earth -side. I look forward to working with you!

Sharea Jenkins, SR Birth & Postpartum Doula & Birth Educator, TX

Originally from Hartford, CT and living in the Tallahassee area for over 23 years, I have recently relocated to the Houston, TX area. I am the mother of 2 amazing teenagers. My daughter was a medicated vaginal delivery at the hospital while my son was delivered unmedicated in the water at a birth center. Both deliveries were respectfully beautiful and unique. Throughout motherhood, I found myself in conversations about childbirth, breastfeeding, the natural power and strength of a woman's body, and the importance of proper support. These everyday conversations grew into desires that not only sparked interest in me wanting to learn more but also be of service to those that need support, knowledge, and advocacy during their most vulnerable times. My natural compassion and flexible demeanor have allowed me to support over 180 beautiful babies into this world. Being a doula and advocating for maternal health is not only what I love but also my passion in supporting not just the birthing mother, but the entire family unit.

Evelyn Williams, SR Birth Doula & Certified Lactation Consultant, AZ

I am unconditional and
nonjudgemental  with a passionate desire of being a Birth Doula to support and encourage women to uncover their own power throughout this momentous transition. I believe all women should have the opportunity to have a Birth Doula and that no women should have to labor and deliver alone.

While on that journey, Jenee, with deep empathy and expertise, provides unwavering support in helping women make informed decisions and advocating for their birth preferences.
