My Story
Hello there! I am Mandy, a mom to four amazing kiddos
and the owner and operator of Denton Birth Services.
I am best known as "The Denton Doulatog".
One day God spoke over me that I would be a Doula, I had to look up what that meant and of course that made perfect sense to me, but even knowing what God was calling me to, it still took me years to get to a place where birthwork was possible. In Jan 2016 I was asked if I could photograph a birth, (I was thrilled!) and that was one of the most pivotal moments of my life! I felt confirmation in that experience that birthwork was God's calling for my life. I had found my professional purpose, and that is a beautiful thing! I have the most amazing support system in my husband, my mother, my sisters and my in-laws. They make it possible for me to drop whatever I am doing to head to a birth when I get the call! I have been blessed to attend many beautiful, powerful births. At the time of writing this (September2024) I am at a total of 87 births attended!
How I Became a Doula
Being the photographer In the birth space I always found myself wanting to take a more active role in each birth. I had such a magnetic pull towards helping mothers through the rhythms and challenges of birth. I knew if they had individualized support before during and after birth, the birth process could be magical, empowering, and NOT something to be feared. It turned out this kind of support was exactly what God was whispering to me all those years ago: DOULA!
I pursued my Doula Certification through BEST in the Summer of 2022 and cultivated a strong support community of birth experts and colleagues. I am now a full-time birth DoulaTog and I am passionate about my education journey and constantly research and study birth to be able to support my families with the highest quality of support.
