Hi All! I am a certified, postpartum and birth Doula serving the DMV area. I have always been a natural servant/caregiver, and a professional one as well. I became a postpartum Doula because my passion is to serve mothers and validate their feelings about motherhood all while teaching and providing needed assurance and information. I have been a caregiver for six years now, and I have been a postpartum Doula for the last two years. I have worked with preemies, special-needs babies, multiple babies at once, overnights and daytime clients. I have served over 40 families, including personal clients as well as agencies. My clients would say I am professional, gentle, timely, knowledgeable, and persistent, caring and dependable.

Hey there, I’m Ni’Sheerer! I’m the kind of doula who believes birth isn’t just about bringing a baby into the world—it’s about honoring the whole journey, from the first little flutter to those sweet (and sometimes sleepy) postpartum snuggles. My philosophy is simple: every family deserves support that’s both knowledgeable and heart-centered. I combine evidence-based care with a sprinkle of intuition, a lot of listening, and the belief that your birth story should feel empowering, not overwhelming. I’m here to be your cheerleader, your extra set of hands, and sometimes even your snack-fetching, water-refilling, “you’ve got this” voice when things get real. I see birth as a partnership—your body, your baby, your choices—my role is to support and protect that space. Whether it’s helping you find your breath during labor, keeping you company in those quiet postpartum hours, or making sure you get that much-needed nap, I’m all about creating an environment where you feel safe, heard, and cared for. Birth is powerful, parenting is brave, and I’m honored to walk beside you in it all.

Hi! I’m Kate. A mama of 3 and a birth doula! I’m from Baltimore MD and work with families doing hospital or home birth!

Recent review

I had the pleasure of working with Kate and her mother Margie during the labor and delivery of my daughter. Kate was my Doula and her mother was my birth photographer. They make one amazing duo! I had planned on a home water birth and unfortunately after 30 hours of unmedicated labor at home it turned into a hospital transfer and then an emergency cesarian surgery. Kate and her mother stayed in contact with me throughout the day when I knew I was in early labor and then got to my home promptly after she received the call that things were quickly progressing. Kate was so knowledgeable on different comfort measures for me during my labor. She was compassionate and extremely supportive during the whole entire experience! She even sent me a lot of information prior to my daughters arrival regarding helpful tips, body positioning and things I could do prior to early labor and through out to help me during every stage. Her mother is so kind, empathetic and takes beautiful pictures! I will cherish the moments she captured for our family forever. Margie even came to the hospital with us and stayed at the hospital not knowing if she would or would not be able to come back in to our room in order to take pictures after my surgery. I could not recommend hiring them more! Thank you both so much for being a part of my birth journey! XX- Alisha Rutherford

 I loved working with Megan. She helped care for our now 4 month old second child Rowan recently for about 2 months. She was kind as well as very helpful and always asking what she could do to make things easier. She was a great listening ear for all the things baby, birth, and beyond. She mostly helped us with infant care, bottle and pump part washing, laundry, and making snacks, like muffins. The resources she shared with me as print outs I kept on our fridge because they were so helpful. She also had recommendations for other providers, like a pelvic floor therapist. I honestly felt like I was having a friend or family come hang out and watch the family after a visit or two. All in all, highly recommend working with her! I don't have any complaints, truly. I will only say I wish I had hired her sooner, knowing what I know now. It was vital for me having someone who cared about my mental health just as much as my new baby, especially this second time around. Highly recommend working with her!

In addition to my pursuit of becoming a medical doctor, I also enjoy spending time with children and investing into the next generation. Growing up I spent a lot of time watching young children; I don't recall a time when I wasn't holding someone's baby. As an adult, I enjoy spening time with my nieces, nephews, and godchildren. My childcare experiences includes my pediatric rotation, community sevice, and paid employment via care.com, sittercity.com and nannylane.com. My pediatric rotation gave me the medical background for caring for children from first days of life to adolescence. Additionally, I have spent the last 3 years nannying and volunteering with infants and toddlers within the foster care system. If I can be of service, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to working with you and your family!

"It was all a dream!" Literally! My journey to doula-hood started with a dream from the Lord of me giving birth on my mom's kitchen floor while she knelt behind me to support and assist me through it all. I didn't fully understand it now, but now I am watching that birthing dream come to fruition right before my eyes and the profound message is becoming more and more clearer. Born to birth; Brittany Williams, nicknamed “Doula B”; is a certified birth doula and lactation support specialist trained by “Doula Trainings International” (DTI), “Lactation Education Resources" (LER) and "Baby Basics" (What to Expect Project) organizations.

All the while assisting to facilitate the ultimate birthing experience by empowering, equipping and strengthening mothers and families through their remarkable birth & postpartum journey." -Doula B

I highly recommend Liv. They were so helpful postpartum for me and my baby. Having a NICU baby was difficult, but Liv was there to help. I felt confident taking a nap or showering and leaving my baby with them. They continued to help me through the postpartum process as a first time mom who also had a c-section. Liv had plenty of advice and tips and trick to help me. I felt comfortable asking all my question. It was nice to have someone knowledgeable to talk. I cannot recommend them enough. I will definitely be calling Liv for my next baby!

It has been an incredible privilege to work with new families, helping them ensure a positive start and reach their full potential as a family unit. As your postpartum doula, I will be your reliable companion, guiding you through this transformative journey. Together, we will identify your child’s needs and learn effective ways to care for your new baby and yourself. Before becoming a doula, I dedicated 17 years of my life to teaching early childhood. During this time, I managed a classroom of infants and toddlers, balancing my care for the infants with curriculum development for preschool-aged children. I had the privilege of meeting and working with many young families navigating this new phase of life, which fueled my passion for providing more direct support to these new families. I am honored to bring my extensive experience to the families I now serve as a doula. I consider myself a mentor to these new parents, empowering them to find the tools and techniques to make their first days and weeks with their new baby as comfortable as possible. Additionally, I am trained in infant soothing and calming techniques, and I hold CPR and First Aid Certification, ensuring that I can provide the best possible care for infants under my care. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to assist you in having the best possible start as a new family.
