Who we are
Hey friend, I’m Serena! I’m a Houstonian, dog mom, organizer, reproductive justice advocate, social justice advocate, and trained Full-Spectrum Doula.
I got into birth work and started Serened Birthing after learning about my home county—Harris County and the maternal mortality rates for Black women and birthing people.
To some folks, pregnancy and giving birth is one of the most powerful and sacred experiences in one’s life. And to know that there are pregnant people whose preferences and requests are being disregarded and outright denied in healthcare settings– is absolutely heartbreaking to me. I decided to open up Serened Birthing for this very reason.
I am advocating for my clients to have the birth experience that they desire and to improve birth outcomes. I am so excited to potentially serve you!
Here at Serened Birthing, we recognize that pregnancy and pregnant people aren’t a monolith and we welcome and advocate for everyone! We advocate for Mothers, pregnant minors, surrogates, queer parents, disabled parents, etc. Thank you so much for considering Serened Birthing!
How can a Doula help you?
Studies have shown that Doula care has increased positive birthing outcomes including lower C-section rates, lower premature deliveries, and shortened labor duration.
Doula care has also been linked to reduced rates of intervention, postpartum depression, and increased breastfeeding/lactation initiation.
AJPH study conducted had shown that Doula attended births had:
47% decreased risk of cesarean delivery
29% decreased risk of preterm birth
Mothers and birthing people were 46% more likely to attend a postpartum check up than those without a doula.
