Austin Postpartum Doula | Parris
Postpartum Support and Doula Care focused practice in Austin, TX, run by Parris, the owner and a mother of five amazing children. Parris often reflects on how she wouldn't be where she is today without the experiences that shaped her journey. From a young age, she was drawn to the process of birth and felt a deep calling to support mothers and children. Her journey into birth work began in high school when a family friend asked her to step in as a sibling doula for the children she regularly babysat. This early training in birth support helped her offer guidance to teen mothers at her school, further solidifying her passion for this field.
When Parris became a mother herself, her connection to doula work deepened. Her first pregnancy was high-risk, leading to an extended NICU stay for her baby. Navigating the complexities of new motherhood while grappling with a birth experience that didn’t fit the “healthy mom, healthy baby” narrative was one of the most challenging periods of her life. It provided her with a unique perspective on the critical importance of support, especially when the journey is far from easy.
In 2012, after experiencing these life-changing moments, Parris renewed her DONA certification and committed herself to full-time doula work. Since then, she has had four more healthy daughters, each with their own beautiful birth story. Her first child, once a NICU baby, is now thriving in high school—a testament to the power of resilience and support during motherhood.
