Hi! I’m Vanessa Knagg; wife, mom, and certified birth and postpartum doula and owner and founder of Doulas of Dallas. I am passionate about helping others and educating and empowering families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My goal is for you to feel heard, loved, and supported throughout your journey. I am dedicated to providing professional unbiased, labor and postpartum doula services to suit all individual’s needs and desires.

My journey into the birthing community started after the birth of my second son. I had an unmedicated VBAC in the water. I went into that birth more informed and left feeling so empowered. I want that for all families no matter how they choose to bring their baby earthside. I believe that when you know your options and have more knowledge you can make more informed decisions. 

Having had a VBAC myself left me wanting to educate and support families desiring a VBAC to achieve that goal. I furthered my education and became a VBAC-trained doula.

Families going through loss and infertility hold a special place in my heart as I too had 3 consecutive miscarriages before my second son was born. Being able to support families that have been through those struggles is a true honor.

I can often be found adventuring with my husband and our two sons along with our beloved rescue dogs. You may have even heard me on my acclaimed birth and adoption story podcast, The Delivery Diaries, where I highlight the incredibly diverse and powerful birth and adoption stories of families around the world.
