High-Risk Pregnancy Doulas in Baltimore, MD

Hi everyone! I'm Liz. I'm a certified birth doula and trained postpartum doula through DONA International and founder of Empowering Birth Doula Services. I believe every expectant parent deserves a doula and to be informed so they can give birth on their terms. They deserve respect, compassion and someone to help them advocate for themselves and their choices during the most vulnerable but also the most powerful moment of their lives. They deserve to feel EMPOWERED in childbirth instead of fearful. I offer flexible payment plans, accept Tricare Standard East and Carrot Fertility and am also partnered with Be Her Village so you can add my services to your baby shower registry!

Hello! I'm Iman, and for the past decade, I've had the honor of being present at over 100 births as a doula. I specialize in offering holistic support to families in their reproductive journey through doula support. My mission is to support you in creating a safe and nurturing space for you to feel empowered, heard, and supported every step of the way.

I can't remember a time when I was not passionate about family issues, and particularly family health. I had my first child at a young age, and found the perinatal landscape entirely bewildering. Mostly alone, I had no idea what was happening to me and my baby, or how to provide for him once he was born (and later, when he was quite sick). The experience strengthened my desire to support others who find themselves similarly lost at the hands of an impersonal medical institution. ​ ​​ I am committed to helping families access evidence-based information for informed decision-making, and to helping improve the birth experience for all families. I serve families of all types, and I specialize in trauma-informed care, bereavement support, disability advocacy, and neurodivergence, Additionally, I am conversant in Spanish, French, and American Sign Language (ASL). The journey into familyhood should be a time of joy, love, and familial and community support. I founded Family Ways with the intention to help bring such an experience to any individual and family who wants and needs it, and to strengthen the family bond—no matter what shape the family takes. I am honored to have been able to share in the lives of so many beautiful families, if for just this one crucial moment.

I offer compassionate birth and postpartum doula support designed to meet families exactly where they are. With extremely flexible availability—including nights and overnights—I provide continuous support during labor and the early weeks after birth, helping parents feel confident, informed, and cared for. My role includes advocacy during labor, ensuring your wishes are heard and respected while maintaining collaborative communication with your care team. I work closely with parents to provide hands-on guidance, emotional reassurance, and practical support throughout the birth experience. In the postpartum period, I help families adjust to life with a new baby through newborn care education, family management support, and guidance for feeding, recovery, and daily routines. I am especially attentive to the needs of single parents, offering reliable assistance that can include overnight care, light household organization, and even running errands so parents can focus on rest and bonding with their baby. My goal is to create a calm, supportive environment where families feel empowered, informed, and never alone in the transition into parenthood.

Hi! I’m Samantha. Certified birth and postpartum doula located in the DMV. I am also currently a student midwife. I LOVE everything birth!! I believe that birth should be your way and every person should be informed to make the best decisions for you and baby. I create a judgement free zone for both birthers and support persons while fully supporting educationally, physically and emotionally. During my free time I am finding new adventures with my girls and husband. I’m also a dance teacher and high school cheerleading coach.

My practice is inspired by the idea of radical liberation and justice. I center my service around centering marginalized identities and accepting whoever is open to sharing their journey with me. Entering the birth space with intention of radical joy, agency, and empowerment is what drives and motivates me as a birth worker. With these values in mind, I seek to offer care that embodies an environment of acceptance, affirmation, and protection from hate.
