You were never meant to do the fourth trimester alone.
Doulagy is a postpartum doula practice becoming an agency — overnight newborn care, feeding support, and a calm extra set of hands so new parents can rest, heal, and feel like themselves again.
45 minutes. No pressure. We talk through your due date, home setup, and whether you need Sheila or a matched Doulagy doula.

The fourth trimester
Coming home is when the real work begins.
Milk coming in. Visitors with opinions. A baby who will not latch. A body still recovering. Doulagy steps in during the first 24–72 hours at home — the window when rest, feeding, and emotional support matter most.
- Irregular newborn sleep that leaves both parents exhausted
- First baths, swaddling, and cries you cannot yet decode
- Breastfeeding, bottle, or combo feeding that needs a calm coach
- Postpartum anxiety or the quiet fear that you are failing
- Older siblings, laundry, bottles, and no time to shower
What a shift includes
Whole-family postpartum care, not just baby holding.
Feeding & lactation support
Latch, positioning, pumping, and bottle work — plus a referral to a lactation consultant when that is the wiser next step.
Emotional support
Non-judgmental presence for postpartum depression and anxiety. We are not therapists. We notice, hold space, and help you get the right help.
Newborn education
Bathing, soothing, diapering, babywearing, and cues — so when the shift ends, you feel capable, not dependent.
Home & recovery
Light housekeeping, simple meals, nursery organization, sitz baths, and after-birth healing so your body can close the chapter of birth.
Siblings & family
Help older children welcome the baby, and gentle guidance for well-meaning relatives who add stress instead of help.
How intake works
One conversation. Then a plan that can scale with you.
This is the path from sole practitioner to agency: Sheila still meets families first. As demand grows, trained Doulagy doulas take matched shifts under the same standard of care.
Discovery Dialogue
A complimentary 45-minute conversation. Due date, birth plan, overnight vs. day, budget, and whether you need a doula, a newborn care specialist, or both.
Match & retain
If we are a fit, you receive a simple contract. A 20–30% retainer holds your dates. Remaining balance is due around 36 weeks or when service starts. Payment plans when possible.
Care at homecoming
Your doula is ready the day you walk through the door: unpacking, first meal, feeding support, and a plan for the next 24 hours.
Postpartum shift plans
Choose the hours. We bring the calm.

“Sheila seemingly was here for our newborn, but in reality, she was here for me as a mom. She takes initiative cleaning bottles, organizing the nursery, doing the baby’s laundry, but more so she ensured that I got a break and I felt rested. We always look forward to our Sheila Days.”
Rachael & Hunter Kennedy
“Sheila Davis is definitely one of the best doulas we have ever worked with. We have enjoyed her so much with her sweet and kind heart and her positive upbeat work ethic.”

Meet Sheila Davis
After years in the medical industry, Sheila was introduced to doula work by her cousin Lisa. She trained through the Swaddle Company, began in Southern California as Sheicando, then moved to Texas and gathered every chapter into Doulagy.
The motto is Do utilize all given to YOU! Credentials on the current site: certified postpartum doula, lactation educator, and CPR / first aid instructor. Care is offered to all expectant parents, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
