About Haven

Whole-mother care, rooted in New Braunfels.

Haven was founded to give mothers something quietly radical: care that centers her, through birth, the fourth trimester, and the tender work of becoming.

Meet your doula

Hello, I'm Wendy.

I'm Wendy Spriegel, a birth and postpartum doula serving New Braunfels and families within about 35 miles. Haven is my solo practice, which means the person you meet at your consultation is the same person beside you in labor, and in your living room in those first tender weeks at home.

My training follows the DONA International approach, and my care is built around continuity: an initial meeting, two prenatal appointments, steady presence at your birth, and a postpartum visit once your baby is home. Whatever shape your birth takes, in any hospital, birth center, or home, my role is to stay calm, informed, and fully present.

Always solo care

The whole-mother approach

Care for the mother, not only the moment.

Mother-centered

Your experience, your recovery, your becoming, held with as much care as your baby's arrival.

Grounded & calm

Steady, unhurried presence and judgment-free guidance, whatever path your birth and postpartum take.

Continuity of care

One trusted relationship across birth, recovery, and the long season of adjustment.

Training & Practice

Trained, grounded, always learning.

A foundation of formal training and steady, hands-on experience, so your care is as knowledgeable as it is warm.
