Shinobu Yogo
Certified Postpartum Doula, Lactation Consultant and Newborn Sleep Specialist
Born and raised in Japan, Shinobu welcomed her three children after moving to Texas. Becoming a mother far from home came with many cultural surprises, and those early experiences inspired her passion for walking alongside families as they welcome their own newborns.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Education, a Master’s degree in Communication Studies, and certifications in newborn care, mother care, breastfeeding, and infant sleep, Shinobu offers more than knowledge—she brings a calm, gentle presence and listening ear that parents often describe as steadying and reassuring.
Every family has its own values and rhythms, and Shinobu is known for meeting parents exactly where they are. Her international background gives her a unique sensitivity to the many different ways families nurture their babies, while her approach remains open, warm, and supportive for all.
At the center of her care is one simple focus: rest. Shinobu believes that when families are truly rested, they can thrive. She finds joy in helping parents discover peace and confidence as they nurture their little ones.
Outside of her work, Shinobu treasures time with her husband and three children—often cheering on games or playing sports together as a family.

“Shinobu Yogo was a God sent person after my twins were born. She came and helped me survive. She was so loving and kind. ❤️ I would highly recommend having Shinobu being part of your new born experience.”
Shinobu has been the best postpartum doulat! She supported me and my family for 6 months. She tenderly cared for my newborn and was so kind and patient with my toddler. Every time she came to my house she made me feel like I could trust her with everything so I was able to rest and reset. She always asked what else she could do for me and was on top of everything. Shinobu helped with newborn care, cleaning, cooking, laundry, and helping me feel human after the baby was born. I am so thankful for everything she has done as my doula! - Megan
