Meet your doula & postpartum guide -

Nayo Golden

Being a doula is more than a career for me—it’s my purpose. As a mom of two sons, I’ve experienced both the beauty and challenges of bringing life into the world. My first son was born in a hospital with the support of an epidural, while my second came into the world during an incredible home birth. These deeply personal experiences have shaped my approach over the past five years as a birth and postpartum doula, giving me unique insights into the diverse journeys parents face.

Values

  • Every person matters, every story matters. Each mother carries a unique story of her past, present, and future that shapes how she navigates the transformative time of pregnancy and birth. Dads and children also play important roles in the welcoming of new life to the family. Knowing there is no single path to birth, we honor your family by crafting personalized birth and postpartum plans and educational resources, designed to embrace your family's deepest needs and desires. We see the strength in your body, the beauty in your vulnerability, and the endless potential for a birth that is authentically yours.

  • Pregnancy and birth is a transformative process of our whole being - body, mind, and spirit. True power in birth, and the flourishing of families, springs up from a nurtured soul—one that is confident, healthy, and at peace. Through industry leading education, unwavering advocacy, and nourishing food, we help bring all things into alignment so that you become ready, strong, and powerful. When an entire family embraces holistic soul care, they cultivate a resilient foundation, a system of unwavering stability and support. These families are then transformed from merely surviving the journey, but thriving within it.

  • In our current culture, women’s voices are often invalidated and their ability to birth the way they envision is questioned. We advocate for moms, dads, and babies every step of the way, but, most importantly, we teach families the art of advocating for themselves. We help them find their voices, cultivate their intuition, and stand firmly in their choices, ensuring their birth experience is one of informed empowerment. We believe that by teaching families how to advocate for themselves, we are investing in a future where women’s birthing experiences are honored, respected, and celebrated.

  • With an empowered soul, a plan, and a support system that surrounds you, the most powerful posture you can assume is that of surrender. We help strengthen your surrender by cultivating environments of safety and peace where you can deeply trust your spiritual grounding and the innate wisdom of the birthing process. As you release tension and honor what your body is capable of, birth unfolds with an intuitive grace. It is within this surrender, this gentle yielding, that we discover a true, enduring strength that sustains us for the journey of birth and the growth of a healthy family.

  • Building and protecting resilience is key to thriving. Regardless of your birth journey's twists and turns, we guide you towards resilience, ensuring every path leads to your ultimate restoration. Families who prioritize rest, connection, and nourishment in those sacred newborn days revitalize not just their bodies, but their very souls. Through our unique blend of postpartum education, nurturing in-home support, and holistic, restorative meals, we bring renewal to your home, empowering you to embrace your new rhythms and establish deeper connections with your precious, growing family.

    “I’ll never forget the first time I spoke with Nayo—she told me, ‘You can do this, your body was made for this,’ and from that moment, I felt empowered. Meeting Nayo in person was like connecting with family. The energy was warm, comforting, and uplifting. Her knowledge and experience in her field are evident in everything she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, educated, and supportive doula. She truly made a difference in our journey.”

    Nayo, an Angel sent from above. We had the pleasure of having her as our Doula for my first pregnancy. Becoming a first time mom was super stressful and overwhelming. Having Nayo eased those worries and made my pregnancy and labor manageable. Not only did Nayo, Prepare me to have the best pregnancy and labor, but she made sure that I was prepared for postpartum as well. From the words of encouragement, to the first parent prep class, to her being just a text away. Now, five months postpartum, I can look back and really appreciate the prep and guidance that she provided to me. Even though I had a very long labor, 32 hours, Her and my amazing midwife were there with me every step of the way. She was not only my birth doula but my forever, Doula. She is truly a part of our family now and we are Forever grateful.

    In our first meeting with Nayo we were pretty much in the unknown since we have never worked with a doula before. After we got done sitting with her just getting to know each other I knew that my wife and I were in great hands because she aligned with our values and just the way we think about things. It was also cool to walk away with getting educated on things we had no idea about or suggestions to look into.

    Now that we have our little guy here and as we look back! I honestly don’t think we would have been able to do all this without Nayo. Coming from the husband side of things, she just does so much behind the scenes work prepping the soon to be mom(my bride) for delivery. Holding us accountable within my wife’s eating/drinking habits, making sure our mindset was ready for this moment, and just making sure we are in this as a team and in agreement! Then on the day, she came in like it was a championship, on her A-game, great attitudes, great expectation, and willing to give it all she has.

    Lord knows we are thankful for Nayo and we all legitimately need one of her in our lives, and specifically for this process of giving birth. Coming from a first time father it was a must, and Nayo Golden is the real deal!

    This pic depicts the strength she brings to the table! Love you Nayo, thank you again!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

    “I have so many great things to say about Nayo. I’m so grateful I had her by my side throughout my pregnancy journey and birth. She is a blessing and a powerful woman. She encouraged me throughout it all. Would send me affirmations. I ended up going to the hospital on my behalf and she spent the night in the room with us waiting for my son’s birth earth side the next morning. She will do anything for her clients and I’m forever thankful for her:) If you’re thinking about a doula, which you should- definitely give Nayo a chance, it’s WORTH it!!”

  • Ebony Ford

    “Nayo was hands down the best doula on this side of heaven! We were very prepared prior to going into delivery and even more after. She has been a blessing to our family and we are very grateful to have found her. Thanks again Nayo for everything you have done for our family. Love, The Ford's”

    THIS ONE’S FOR THE DADS!

    If you're a dad reading this, wondering whether a doula is really necessary—let me tell you, Nayo is not just for your wife, she’s for you too. As a first-time father, I had no idea what to expect, but Nayo was there every step of the way, making sure I was just as supported as my wife.

    From the beginning, she was deeply invested in understanding our birth plan, which had a more traditional, unmedicated approach. Nayo completely got it—she was a perfect match for our alternative lifestyle, and supported every decision without hesitation.

    But what truly made Nayo stand out was how much she helped me. I was anxious and unsure, and Nayo was the calming presence I didn’t even realize I needed. She checked in on our relationship dynamic and offered guidance that prepared me emotionally and mentally for what was to come. When labor finally started, she was right there in the hospital, supporting my wife for 24+ hours, staying calm and focused. She even brought homemade nutrient-dense broth the next day, knowing the importance of real recovery. Her warmth and spirit brought so much peace into the room that I can honestly say I don’t know how I would’ve handled it without her.

    If you're on the fence, let me say this—Nayo isn't just an investment in your wife’s well-being, she’s an investment in your family’s peace, comfort, and health. Nayo was a blessing for me, my wife, and our newborn. You won’t regret having her by your side.

    Nayo came highly recommended to me by both my midwife and my coworker! I thought there must be something to her if two people in my life highly recommended her.

    Nayo has both a calm and fiery spirit. I mer with various midwifes and doulas and I appreciated her high energy but chill overall demeanor. As someone who is high energy, i wanted someone who could match me but also bring me down if needed.

    Nayo has both experience with at home births and hospital births. When plans changed and we had to go to the hospital, she was there for me and held my hand. I had nothing to fear, as she was very calm duing my csection. She made me feel at ease.

    Additionally, she knew the types of questions to ask the hospitals staff and i am grateful for her deep birthing knowledge base.

    My son Rex Augustine Coleman was born on August 14 at 1:31am, 5 lb 11 oz with Nayo and my husband at my side. My husband and i are grateful to Nayo for being there for us and our baby.

    She also cooks and made me wondeful postpartum meals that will heal my body and be nutritious to my breastfeeding son.

    I recommend her without reservations!

  • Earnestine Jackson

    Words cannot express how vital & life changing Nayo was to our birthing experience! We had a success, unmedicated home birth & it wouldn’t have been possible without her! Nayo was present & attentive to my needs from the day we hired her during my first trimester. During my pregnant, she checked in with my EVERY week & made me feel very comfortable reaching out to her with any questions, comments, or concerns. Leading up to labor, Nayo was very interested & hands on with every little thing that was occurring. The day my baby was born, Nayo came to my home & was with me all day as I labored! She was encouraging, motivating, & very knowledgeable. She knew that my labor was progressing, exactly how to position me to help me progress, knew exactly when to call the midwife, & so much more! I legit wouldn’t have been able to have a success birth without her!

  • Maya Michelle

    Nayo is amazing! This was my first experience with a Doula and she made the process flow way easier than any of my other pregnancies. She was there with answers to any questions I had, was with me at the hospital, and captures all our beautiful moments with my baby. Thank you so much!

  • Lydia Vinar

    Nayo’s care and presence throughout my pregnancy, homebirth, and postpartum were invaluable. Her warm, empathic personality paired with her humor and expertise make her the top in DFW. So thankful for Nayo as a person and a doula!

  • Dyamante Smith (Dede)

    The best doula ever!! Nayo was the backbone of my homebirth and the reason it was such an uplifting and positive experience! She provided support throughout my pregnancy and was available to answer any and all questions and ease my anxieties and fears. Just her presence was enough to keep me feeling empowered and motivated during labor. I will be recommending Doula Nayo to everyone I can.

  • Denisen Tassa Barnum

    I was in the midst of interviewing several doulas and my chiropractor recommended Nayo as a prospect. I knew Nayo was THE ONE upon meeting her. I laid out my plan, what I wanted etc in birthing my daughter and Nayo made sure all went to plan. I felt safe and confident she would advocate for me from start to finish and she did! She also encouraged and helped direct my husband during labor. Nayo was reachable at any point during pregnancy, labor, and even post partum. We are so happy she was our doula and if we do go through with a third child we will definitely reach out to her first!
