Birth is meant to work.
I'm here to help you protect what Mother Nature has already gifted you – your innate ability to gestate, birth and nurture a baby.
Safe. Supported. Confident.
Hi Mama,
I’m Greta - birth doula & childbirth educator in San Marcos, TX.
I'm also a mother to two wonderful boys, both born peacefully at home. I'd spent years studying birth, but it was through my own experiences that I truly embodied what I teach.
My approach is rooted in the wisdom of traditional midwives and shaped by my background in psychology and maternal mental health.
I believe every woman deserves more than simply getting through pregnancy and birth.
Bringing a baby into the world is one of life's greatest rites of passage, and with the right support, it can leave you feeling deeply capable, connected, and transformed.
Pregnancy and birth are as natural as breathing, yet they have the power to change us profoundly.
I'm here to help you prepare for birth with knowledge, confidence, and trust, so you can create the experience that's right for you.
Services
Pregnancy & Birth Support
Pregnancy and birth care should reflect your unique personal story, emotional needs and values.
Every person that cares for you and that’s in your birth space affects the flow, therefore you should not settle for any less than great connection with your caretakers and only hire those that feel like a great match.
Monthly in-person Village Prenatals
This is the village around your prenatal care:
Socio-emotional support during pregnancy
Rotating topics (support, nourishment, birth hormones, postpartum, etc.)
Guided journaling
Sharing circle
Tea, snacks, and conversations with other pregnant women
These gatherings aren't medical. Instead they will focus on the physical, emotional, educational, and relational needs of pregnant women.
Client Reflections
”Oh my! Greta, in so many beautiful ways, you helped me to come into my powerful presence as a mama, and you made me feel comfortable. We talked about fears, concerns, and things I wished for within the birthing experience for my son. You kept conversation up around my nutrition and nourishment, ensuring I kept a log of all that I was ingesting and if I was hydrating-which helped so much during work days and weeks.
During birth, you were grounded, calm, and attentive to me - massaging my body, providing assistance as I changed positions, walked, feeding me snacks, and yes! You even wiped my bottom when I released before birthing my sweet Adjaye! You sang to me, with me, brought your birthing comb for me to hold, and also made sure to ask me what I wanted within my home, scents, dim lights, quiet, or stillness. You were such beautiful grounded support for me, Adjaye & Raymond.
You being in our home will always be a blessing, you captured moments in pictures, videos, or by showing up and being there to tag team with Raymond when he got tired. Our Doula Angel <3”

”I hired Greta at 37 weeks after connecting with her about birth for several hours and just feeling right with her energy. I also trusted that she respected me and my desires, and she also trusted birth.
I did a wild pregnancy, so there were definitely some anxiously curious thoughts that came and went throughout. Especially towards the end when I went past 41 weeks, then 42..
Greta was there to check in and ask questions that helped me really go inward and feel my body telling me everything was okay. She offered suggestion but always made sure to come back to my own instinct, which I greatly appreciated.
Greta’s energy is incredibly calm, grounded, and loving. Which is so vital to have in the pregnancy/birth space. Greta always respected my boundaries and gave her wisdom to the degree in which I requested. This was very important to me personally after having a birth with midwives who I felt did not hold that space for me in the same way. /.../
I felt such empowerment and total bliss after the birth, for weeks after and even now at 10 weeks pp I feel such creative energy flowing through me. Greta followed up and checked in on me post birth. She brought me food and gave me massage and an herbal bath. She really treated me not as a client but as a sister. ”
