Start your Birth Plan today!
My goal is to help you create the birth plan you desire and to support you in that plan. I believe that birth is a natural process designed by God to bring new life into this world and should be a positive experience with as little intervention as possible. Sometimes medical intervention is necessary and as your doula, I will support you throughout that journey. I will fully support you in any setting you desire, whether it be home, birth center or hospital.
Hi, My name is Janel Rogers. I am so glad you are here! I am a fully trained and certified Birth and Postpartum doula practicing in the Dallas/Ft Worth area since 2018. I personally experienced 4 different medicated hospital births all with multiple interventions. Following those births, I gave birth to my fifth child, unmedicated and fully educated on my rights as a birthing mom. This set the wheels in motion for my desire to become a doula and help other moms like myself. My journey has completely changed my perspective of birth and formed who I am as a doula today!
When you hire me as your birth doula, I require half of my total fee as down payment to secure my services for your birth. I will then schedule two prenatal appoinments with you. At these appointments, we will discuss your birth plan, comfort measures, and positions for birth. We will also address any questions or concerns you have and get to know each other better. The second and final payment of my fee will be due by 34 weeks of your pregnancy.
I will be on call for you 24/7 starting 2 weeks before your estimated due date and will continue to be on-call until your baby is born.
I will join you when you are in active labor or needing support and continue with you until your baby is born.
I will remain with you for 2-3 hours after baby is born. I will ensure you have the support you need and have a successful latch with breastfeeding.
When you hire me as your post partum doula, I require at least a 4 hour minimum fee and must be booked at least a day in advance. ***I will add this on to your birth package at a discounted rate when booked at the time of securing my birth services.
As your post partum doula, I will come to your home and do light housework which can include changing the linens, washing, drying and folding laundry, washing dishes and vacuuming.
I will also help with baby care, changing diapers, holding baby so mom can rest, and help with nursing sessions as needed.
I will prepare meals and snacks as needed while at your home.
This was my first time using a doula and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience I had with Janel! She was truly a blessing. Janel was so comforting and compassionate with me; when contractions would come she would help talk me through them when I wasn’t using the right breathing techniques. When it came time to push she was right next to me keeping me calm and positive. If we are blessed with another child there’s no question about it, Janel will be with me through it again!
I cannot say enough good things about Janel R in general, but as a doula, she’s one of a kind! She was with me throughout my first pregnancy, at the hospital when I had my sweet girl and available anytime I called her before and after the birth. Janel’s knowledge of birth, pregnancy, and healing afterwards (not only physical but mental) was amazing and I could never thank you her enough. Being my first pregnancy, I had so many concerns and questions - but through it all Janel was a reassuring voice, a comfort when anxiety came upon me and readily available on some late night calls. If anyone questions if they should have a doula or not - stop questioning and talk with Janel! I assure you, you will not regret it! If I ever have another baby - Janel will be the first call for a doula
The main word that comes to mind when describing Janel's work as a doula is champion. We had three days of labor and Janel was with us nearly the whole time. Her level of commitment was beyond anything we could have imagined for a doula. Especially as first time parents, we can honestly say that without her presence we would have been lost. She was compassionate and empathetic while also exhibiting immense grit and fortitude. Her knowledge was evident from not only her experience as a doula but also from having 5 children of her own. She carries what can truly be described as a supernatural peace and she conveyed this peace to us throughout all our time together. One of the most helpful aspects of Janel's approach was her ability to present her insights and suggestions in a manner that did not impart fear or panic but rather instill a sense of confidence and empowerment. She conducted herself with humility, integrity, and depth of understanding. She was so helpful that we enlisted her help for post-partum doula services. Janel is a true blessing and God-sent. She was patient, genuinely listened to us, and offered her wisdom in a manner that was applicable to us and our situation. Her presence brought an immeasurable amount of reassurance; not only to us but also to our dog, who fell instantly in love with her. We recommend Janel wholeheartedly and are confident that anyone who works with her will be richly blessed.
Working with Janel was a pleasure. She was prepared and ready on very short notice. She came to my house and was very helpful and stepped in wherever she could so I could focus and get ready to go. She asked questions and made it easy to talk through things making me feel prepared and comfortable. During labor she took charge while always making sure I was getting what I needed. I never had to worry about anything but instead focused on my labor. She worked alongside my husband and other support team very well. She was encouraging and supportive every step of the way! She had me try several different positions to keep my labor progression beautifully and her use of counter pressure allowed me to survive some very intense labor pain! She stayed with me after labor for several hours which allowed my husband to run and grab dinner for us. A few days after we got home she came over to process everything and check in on us. Janel was such a sweet blessing for us!
