About me
Hello and welcome! My name is Sounisra Reid, and I’m the doula behind Doula Te-Ruk. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period with a calm, caring, and hands-on approach. I am trained through Sankofa Birthworkers Collective and Ground Beginnings BIPOC Community Doula Training. I also offer placenta encapsulation and prenatal massage to help parents feel cared for during their journey. I speak both English and Thai, and I love supporting Thai-speaking families who want comfort in their own language. My goal is to make you feel safe, confident, and supported, whether it’s your first baby or your fifth. I believe every family deserves personalized care, gentle guidance, and someone who truly listens. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your beautiful birth experience.

Having Pearl by my side was such a blessing. She guided me through the hardest moments, gave me tools that actually worked, and made me feel truly cared for. I can’t imagine doing it without her.

I met Pearl (Sounisra) in the labor room at the birthing center. At first, we didn’t really believe in needing a doula. But after she guided me through pain management and supported me through every moment, I’m now 100% sure every mom deserves a doula. She was amazing and absolutely worth it.

I want to share my experience with Lactation Pearl because she was truly amazing. On the day my baby wouldn’t latch, we called her in a moment of panic. She came to the hospital without hesitation, without questions, and without ever mentioning anything about changing the price. She didn’t care about anything except how I was feeling and what my baby needed. She comforted me, supported me, and immediately started teaching and guiding us with so much patience and kindness. I’m so grateful for her. She was a blessing during one of the hardest moments.

I’m so glad my husband and I decided to get a doula for the brith of our little girl. Her coaching techniques made such a huge difference in my birthing experience. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help of my husband and Pearl. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a doula. Thank you Pearl!

My labor was 18 hours long and Pearl never left my side. She kept me calm, encouraged me when I felt like giving up, and made sure I had the support I needed the whole time. As a young mom, having her there made me feel safe, strong, and not alone. I couldn’t have done it without her! Love you Pearl..

Many thanks to Pearl! I love her energy and the passion she has for what she does. Her coaching, encouragement, and caring spirit made all the difference for me and my family.

During labor, Pearl kept us calm, balanced my wife’s needs, and made sure I knew how to support her. Because of her, I wasn’t just watching, I was truly part of the birth. If you’re a partner wondering if a doula is worth it, the answer is absolutely yes. Pearl supported both of us, and we’re so grateful.”
