Who I Am

Hi! My name is Samantha Kelly. I am a DONA-trained birth doula, certified lactation counselor, and certified childbirth educator, based in Kyle, Texas. I serve families all across Central Texas—from New Braunfels to North Austin.

My passion for birth work began during my second pregnancy, when I realized how important it was to feel in control of my choices. I didn’t want to be told how my birth would go—I wanted to collaborate with my care team to welcome my baby safely and joyfully. That experience changed everything for me, and I knew I wanted to walk alongside other families so they too could feel supported, informed, and empowered.

When I’m not immersed in birth work, I love spending time with my husband, David, and our two kids, Micah and Brylee. We enjoy being outdoors, gathering with loved ones, and cheering on Austin FC. Just as I treasure my own family, it’s an honor to be welcomed into yours.

What I Do

As a doula, my goal is to provide evidence-based information, compassionate presence, and steady support—always tailored to your unique journey. I’ve had the honor of supporting hundreds of families through a wide range of experiences: hospital and home births, medicated and unmedicated labors, VBACs, cesareans (planned and unplanned), inductions, surrogacy journeys, and more. I also bring experience in supporting clients navigating special circumstances such as multiples, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, IUGR, and IVF pregnancies.

No matter what kind of birth you are planning, my role is not to lead but to walk beside you—offering encouragement, information, and care that respects your choices.
