Doula care in Houston, Texas

Bianca Harris, BS, CTRS, is a Full Spectrum Doula, Lactation Peer Counselor, Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, and devoted breastfeeding mother of two. Born and raised in Philadelphia and now proudly calling Texas home, Bianca brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work supporting mothers and families. Her path into birth work began not in a classroom, but through her own experience navigating a medically complex pregnancy with her youngest son. Faced with uncertainty, fear, and the realities of a healthcare system that can leave families feeling overwhelmed, Bianca discovered a calling to become the support she herself needed. Through that experience, she discovered a calling to become the support she wished she had—someone who could offer not only information, but presence, advocacy, and reassurance during life's most vulnerable seasons.

With a background in behavioral health, therapeutic recreation, and maternal wellness, Bianca approaches family support through a holistic lens that recognizes the connection between emotional, physical, and social well-being. She is currently pursuing certification as a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) and advanced training in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C), specializing in maternal mental health, maternal psychotherapy-informed care, and the prevention and treatment of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs). Her work is rooted in evidence-based practice, trauma-informed care, and a deep respect for every family's unique story.

Known for her warmth, honesty, authenticity and ability to find humor even in challenging moments, Bianca believes that parents deserve to feel supported—not judged—as they navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. Whether she's helping a new mother establish a feeding relationship, process a difficult birth experience, or simply remember that she is still a whole person outside of motherhood, Bianca's goal is to create spaces where families feel seen, empowered, and cared for. Her work is grounded in humility, faith, and the understanding that motherhood can be both deeply beautiful and incredibly challenging. She firmly believes that healing happens through connection, that grace is often more powerful than perfection, and that sometimes the best support comes from someone willing to sit beside you and say, "I've been there too."
