Very few doula teams serve Galveston directly, so many island families have to look to Houston for support. Nurture & Nest's Houston doulas cover Galveston and Galveston County, from the island to Texas City, Dickinson and League City.
Many Galveston families are connected to the medical center, the port, the Coast Guard or the university. Others moved to the coast for a slower pace. Whatever brought you here, we'll help you prepare for birth and recover at home with care that feels like family.
Prenatal visits, unlimited text and phone support, on-call support from 38 weeks, and continuous labor support at home, a birth center or the hospital. $1,850.

“Highly recommend hiring Courtney as your doula. Our doula we initially hired had an emergency so we ended up having Courtney as our backup doula and she did not disappoint! We were a little nervous having a backup doula and somebody we’ve never met but Courtney was so personable, very easy going and very much was prepared for our birth plan and things we discussed with our doula prior to going into labor. Courtney was very encouraging, supportive and really helped my husband and I during such an intense and vulnerable experience. Thank you Courtney for what you do! It’s very clear that she loves what she does and it translates into working with her clients.”
