Atija Byers - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Atija

I am a certified birth and postpartum doula who has been supporting families since 2020. I was drawn to birth work by a desire to help address the racial disparities Black women and other women of color experience in maternal healthcare, while providing compassionate, individualized support to families from all backgrounds. Through education, advocacy, and compassionate support, I help mothers feel informed, confident, and empowered throughout their journey. I believe every mother deserves to feel heard, respected, supported, and actively involved in the decisions surrounding her care and birth experience. For me, doula work is about more than preparing for labor and birth. It is about building trust, reducing fear, providing reassurance, and creating a supportive space where mothers can ask questions, understand their options, and feel confident using their voice. It brings me genuine joy to walk alongside mothers during such a personal and transformative time, from pregnancy and childbirth through the transition into postpartum and motherhood.

Frequently asked questions

What is your philosophy about pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum?

To equip expectant mothers educationally, emotionally, mentally and spiritually so they have the knowledge and the confidence to trust their own instincts.

How many clients do you support a month?

Currently, I take 2 clients per month with due dates approximately 2 weeks apart. No more than 3 if clients due dates are around the beginning, middle and end of the month. The spacing is to ensure I am present at each birth.

What happens if you can’t make it to my birth?

In the rare case that I am unable to attend a birth, my certified backup doula will be present to offer support in my place.

How do you feel about an epidural?

I support the idea that the mother or birthing person allow their body to do as it was naturally designed to do. I also support whatever decision is made and will educate the mother/birthing person about that decision so they are fully aware of the pros and cons.
