Chanda Bryant

Chanda Bryant, MHA, CD, CLE, CPE is a certified birth doula, lactation educator, and placenta encapsulator serving families across the Dallas area. As the founder of Crown + Cradle Doula Co., LLC, she is dedicated to creating nurturing, inclusive, and empowering birth and postpartum experiences for every family she supports. Chanda brings a calm, professional presence and a deep belief that informed care and compassionate connection can transform the way families experience the journey into parenthood.

With over a decade of healthcare and operations experience, Chanda blends evidence-based education with emotional support to ensure families feel both prepared and confident. She holds a Master of Healthcare Administration and is currently pursuing her Doctor of Public Administration (DPA), where her research focuses on addressing maternal and infant health disparities. This academic foundation, combined with her hands-on experience in birth work, has shaped her holistic approach — one rooted in advocacy, equity, and empowerment.

Chanda was drawn to doula work after witnessing the gaps in maternal care and recognizing how powerful it is when families feel heard, supported, and respected. Her clients describe her as calm, knowledgeable, and deeply reassuring — the kind of presence that makes birth feel safe and sacred.

Outside of her doula practice, Chanda enjoys working out, volunteering at her local YMCA as a volunteer ballet teachers aide to girls, and loving on her fur baby. She also loves spending time with her family, making arts and crafts, and mentoring new doulas and aspiring healthcare administrators. Deeply committed to her community, she regularly volunteers at maternal and infant health events, continuing her mission to uplift and educate families through every stage of their journey. 

I believe every parent deserves to feel seen, supported, and celebrated during from birth to postpartum. My favorite part of this work is witnessing parents grow in confidence as they bond with their baby and trust their instincts. Supporting families during this transition is a true privilege. I'm here to walk beside you with compassion, knowledge, and joy.
