Doula & Placenta Encapsulation Specialist

---

 Hello! My name is Stacy Villarreal Leon and I am a doula, a mother of five, and a student midwife. I fell in love with the idea of becoming a midwife when I had my first home birth with my last child. The experience was eye opening to the way birth should look. I believe that natural birth is a wonderful and amazing way for a mother to embrace her design and realize all the strength that she holds within her. Midwifery has truly become a passion of mine. I find it hard not to let the topic consume my every thought. My goal is to be able to be a part of giving mothers an option in where and how they choose to give birth. 

During my midwifery training, I have discovered a passion to care for mothers. At such a vulnerable time, mom's can need someone in their corner to help them cope with the labor process and make sure they have everything they need to have a wonderful birth. I would love to be that person for you. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I can't wait to hear from you!

If you have had a previous cesarean birth and are hoping for a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), I am here to support you. I will work with you to create a birth plan that takes into account your specific needs and concerns. I will provide education, resources, and emotional support throughout the process.

Breastfeeding is an important part of your postpartum journey, and I am here to support you every step of the way. I provide education, resources, and hands-on support to help you achieve your breastfeeding goals. I will also screen for and provide support for any breastfeeding challenges.

Capture the beauty and magic of your birth experience with professional birth photography. I work with a talented and experienced birth photographer to provide you with stunning and intimate photos of your labor and delivery. Contact me to learn more about this optional service.

 I am a wife and a mother to 4 amazing children and am the Family Ministries Director at our church.  Supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and lactation is my passion in life. My interest began when I was pregnant with my oldest son 23 years ago.  While pregnant I read everything I could find about pregnancy and lactation.  My first son was born naturally in a hospital.  On paper, the birth was a success; but I found that his hospital birth lacked the supportive, compassionate, nurturing care I was expecting. When I became pregnant with my second son I looked elsewhere for care and discovered midwifery care. My next experiences with a birthing center and homebirth awoke in me a desire to help other mothers through their pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding years.   I began my journey as a La Leche League Leader almost 16 years ago and volunteered with LLL for many years.  I have been an IBCLC for 12 years, a birth doula for almost 8 years, and a student midwife for 3-4 years.  I would love to support your family through your pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding journey.

 My admiration for birth began in 2015 when I saw my niece enter this world. That was the first time I witnessed the miracle of birth and it was a truly amazing experience to be the support person for my own sister during such a special time. A year later, my obstetrician coerced me into being induced (she was going on vacation the following week) and consequently forced me into a c-section a few hours later due to “failure to progress.” With my second pregnancy, my birthing experience was even worse. The doctor on call at the hospital immediately decided I would not be allowed to try for a VBAC and would have a repeat c-section without even seeing me first. My birthing plan was thrown out the window both times and I felt as though I had nobody to stand up for me while I was so vulnerable. After those two traumatizing births, I made the decision to switch careers and become a midwife. I'm currently working as a birth doula while I continue my training to become a midwife. I know that birth can be a beautiful experience and want to help other women avoid horror birthing stories, like mine. I want to help you and your family have the amazing birth you deserve.

My name is Marisol Rosales. I am a wife and mother to four beautiful children- two boys and two girls. When I was a freshman in college, I found out I was pregnant with my first child. I had no clue what to do or where to go. Fortunately, I am a very resourceful person so I found prenatal care at Davis Community Clinic. At the clinic, midwives were delivering the prenatal care. I didn’t even know what a midwife was, but as soon as my first appointment I fell in love with the care that she provided. She educated me in the process and I know there is no other way to receive care than the midwifery model of care! The intimate and personal care she provided left me in awe. Ever since then, I have been fascinated with pregnancy. I became a Doula, Childbirth Educator and Midwife Assistant. I have been serving my community on and off for 14 years as I grow my own family. When speaking to my mom about my passion for helping women and families she told me my great grandmother was a partera in Mexico. From that day, I know I am ancestrally called to do this work. Soon after the birth of my first child, I became pregnant with my first daughter and unfortunately I was not able to give birth in the Birthing Center because I moved back down to Los Angeles. I gave birth in a hospital and the experience was subpar compared with my birth center birth. Since then, I graduated with my bachelor’s in Psychology and two kids in my arms. Today I have had two hospital births and two birth center births. My husband and I are planning one more birth and I want to have a home birth. Recently we became homeowners here in Alamo, Texas and I hope to give birth to my baby at home. I am eager to serve you during your birth!
I’d love to talk with you about how I can help you have an amazing birth here in the RGV. I offer several different birth doula services. Contact me for a free consultation!

I was born in Galveston Texas, the youngest of 6 children. We moved to Edinburg Texas when I was 8 years old. At an early age I saw myself becoming a Veterinarian. As I grew up, I later wanted to practice Family Medicine. As life would have it , I would do neither. I took a course as a nursing assistant at a technical institute right after high school. I then enrolled into college with a major in Pre-Med. I married at 21, became a mother at the age of 22 to our son and then later at age 28 to our daughter. Life has a way of working out though. God knew what he had instilled in my heart, and I quickly was drawn to helping families for many years.  I became a green Birth Educator through the International Maternity Institute in 2011 and opened my business, Blissful Baby, to support families during pregnancy. I later became a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. In 2014 I completed my Certification at CAPPA for Childbirth Educators which led me to becoming a DOULA. I have thoroughly enjoyed serving families and will continue to be here to support them , as long as the lord permits.
