Meet the Owner
"Doula," derived from the original Greek language, means a woman who serves. That’s exactly what I aspire to do for new mothers.
I'm Katie Newby, the owner and founder of Newby Nurturing. As a Licensed Nurse, Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and Postpartum Doula, with fifteen years of infant care experience, I am dedicated to providing exceptional support to new families. Having assisted more than two thousand parents, my passion for caregiving has been a driving force throughout my life. As the oldest of three siblings and eleven cousins, I became a cerified babysitter at age twelve, and with that, my love for nurturing continued to flourish. While my husband was stationed in Japan with the Marine Corps, I kept myself busy as a live-in nanny while also caring for our beautiful new baby. During that time, I learned firsthand the importance of having a loving support system during the postnatal period and the early days of parenthood.
In 2014, amidst the busyness of raising a toddler, I discovered the role of a Postpartum Doula and quickly realized I was called to support women during this sacred phase of their lives. To build upon the decade of experience I have dedicated to supporting breastfeeding families, I am actively pursuing IBCLC credentials (International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant) as part of my ongoing commitment to contributing to improvements in maternal and infant health.
It brings me joy to help mothers navigate this “rite of passage,” and I look forward to offering non-judgmental support and a comforting presence to more new moms in the Houston and San Antonio-New Braunfels areas, alongside my team of compassionate doulas and newborn care specialists. I am dedicated to connecting families with trusted, expert, and thoroughly screened postpartum professionals, ready to provide the support they need.

Reviews from Past Clients
★★★★★
Katie was simply fantastic with our little baby boy when he was born. She was so caring and gentle both with my son and with me. She always knew exactly what we needed and was able to read my son - knowing what he needed and when. I could not recommend Katie enough.

Katie worked for me from the time my daughter was 1 month old to 6 months old. She had severe health problems and required 24 hour care. It was an extremely stressful time in my life and Katie was the ONLY person besides immediate family I trusted with my daughter. Katie was a Godsend. She was always on time, thoroughly engaged, paid close attention to every instruction, was compassionate and loving to my daughter, and provided me with excellent notes to review in the morning. I knew she was in good hands when she was with Katie and that was the only reason I was able to function during that time. Katie took EXCELLENT care of her. In addition, Katie gave me numerous tips and suggestions to help both my daughter and myself. I fully recommend Katie for work with newborns and children of all ages. I fully recommend Katie for any job that she desires. She is a responsible, trustworthy, loving person.

Katie and her team were amazing and so helpful during my two weeks after birth . They provided great psycho education about breastfeeding, newborn care, and motherhood! I highly recommend you book post partum doula services. You would be entrusting your beautiful bundle of joy in the right hands certainly. They are so supportive to new moms and I was grateful to have them along for the ride!
