I had Erica as my doula for my first birth which was an at home water birth and she was the best doula anybody could ask for. The most supportive and caring person during this experience. Her vibe is unmatched and genuinely cares about your well being during this time. Beyond grateful that I found her and definitely would recommend her to anybody that needs a doula.

*Update* Elisha is also very nice as I've been able to just vent to her without any judgment at all and she listens to me with open ears and lets me get it out and is a great shoulder to lean on when you're going through something and will give you great advice and will tell you what you NEED to hear. Her Reiki healing has helped me to balance my chakras and become grounded.

Hello everyone! My name is Donna-Lee Bellamy and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula. I am VBAC Link trained and I am also a birth photographer. I became a doula because I am passionate about helping women have the birthing experiences they deserve, and doing everything to avoid postpartum pelvic floor damage if possible.

Hi everyone, my name is Tatiana Walker AKA Tati and I am a Full Spectrum Doula in the D.C, Maryland and Northern Virginia areas. I have been drawn to the birth world for so long it has essentially become a part of me. I believe with the right support and knowledge every birth can feel magical even when nothing goes according to plan. Everyone deserves a birth story they can look back on and feel no regrets and I hope to give every client I have exactly that by teaching them how to manage their pain, concerns, and fears. Outside of the world of birth I enjoying lounging with my cats and seeing family.

Recent review

I had my first baby with Tati as my Doula and she was so helpful in the delivery room. At times I would freak out and forget how to breathe and she would rush over and remind me of my breathing techniques and or try and get me to laugh so I was forced to take a breath.

Hello, my name is Nashare and I am the owner of That Community Helper. I am trained as birth and postpartum doula, but currently focusing on postpartum clients. I graduated college with a degree in Early Childhood Education and it made me realize that the best foundation for a good early childhood is through the mother/parents. I believe that parents have lost the support through the entire perinatal phase and it is my desire and goal to make sure the parents build confidence in themselves. In my practice I believe in creating a compassionate, education-driven, supportive environment during a very sensitive time in parents’ lives. In my free time, I like to paint, draw, and read.

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.
