Maternity Meditation Class

OUR MISSION
Our story is rooted in the experiences of our founder, LaVerne Reid. Through her personal birthing experiences, LaVerne identified a critical need for change in maternal health outcomes, particularly in the Houston, TX area. Inspired by her background in plant-based health and the remarkable transformations she has witnessed in countless lives, LaVerne set out to make a difference in the lives of mothers.
At Milk, we are on a mission to empower mothers to advocate for themselves and improve their health during pregnancy and postpartum. Our dedicated team of specially trained Doulas works alongside each mother, offering personalized guidance and support tailored to their individual needs. We offer a range of classes and services designed to support mothers during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.
​What sets us apart is our unwavering dedication to making these essential services accessible to all mothers who need them. We firmly believe that every mother deserves the opportunity to experience the benefits of doula support, regardless of their financial circumstances. Our classes are offered virtually, and we have a plan to expand into 15 in-person markets by the end of 2024. Our pricing structure is thoughtfully designed to ensure affordability without compromising on the quality of care. 
​But we're not stopping there. We're actively seeking partners who share our passion and vision, as we aim to grow our organization into the go-to destination for Doula support and training. Together, we can redefine the standards of maternal care, one mother at a time."
