MEET OUR FOUNDER & OWNER

Hi, I’m Chiminh and I’m thrilled to welcome you to Doulas of Austin.

In 2000, I began my career doing my heart's work as a Registered Nurse on a Labor and Delivery/Postpartum unit.

Over the years, I’ve worked in maternity in just about every capacity, including as a Professor for an RN-BSN program after earning my Master's degree in Nursing.

I eventually came to realize from working so intimately with new families, that there was an enormous need for better preparation for birth and early parenting.

Starting Doulas of Austin has allowed me and my team to focus on the emotional and psychological components of birth and postpartum in hopes of achieving better outcomes for expectant and growing families.

With a respect of science and medicine coupled with the softer side of compassionate doula care, I'm confident that we’re elevating the standard of doula care in Austin.

“Our experience with Doulas of Austin was absolutely stellar. Chiminh is warm, well-spoken, patient, very empathic, and has an invaluable depth of knowledge she brings from years spent as a nurse.

She is exactly what I wished for!”
