Hi! I’m Mel, a full-spectrum doula, lactation peer counselor, and student midwife based in the DMV and supporting Florida birthing mamas and birthing people as well. With lived experience in both a cesarean and a VBAC/home birth, along with six years of herbal training, I integrate evidence-based care, trauma-informed support, and holistic traditional practices. I attend all births and prioritize improving outcomes for Black birthers through clear guidance and informed decision-making. My goal is to help families navigate pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding with confidence, accurate information, and consistent advocacy. Birth should be calm, peaceful, and empowering no matter which turn it takes. When I'm not being a doula, I'm being a chef ♡

We are your one-stop shop for all your postpartum needs. We are your village and concierge for anything and everything those first few weeks and months following birth. Our services include postpartum doulas, newborn specialists, yoga, meal prep, grocery shopping, housekeeping, and more! Whatever you need mama, we got you.

Hi, I’m Esthanette (Es tuh net), and thank you for considering having me as a part of your journey! I’m a trained full-spectrum doula. All that means is that I can support you during the prenatal, labor, birth, and postnatal period. I want to ensure that you receive evidence-based information to make informed decisions about your care. I want to help equip you with the tools not only to navigate your birth space and care but tools to help you feel prepared after your baby comes earthside. My goal is to work with you to provide nonjudgmental, embracing, educational, intimate, and personalized care throughout your journey. I’m ready to embrace you and welcome you to my doula family. I embrace birthing people and their families in the DC Metro Area (virtually and in-person), Atlanta Metro (virtually and in-person), and across the nation (virtually).

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.

At Annapolis Area Doulas we believe that every family deserves care that feels personal, grounded, and judgment-free. Our doulas meet you exactly where you are, offering support that’s rooted in knowledge, compassion, and genuine connection. We know that no two births or postpartum experiences are the same, so we focus on helping you feel informed, confident, and cared for through every step. We see our work as more than just showing up for a birth or a few visits it’s about walking alongside you as you grow into this next season of life. Whether it’s holding space for your choices, helping you tune into your own intuition, or offering calm, steady guidance when things feel overwhelming, our team is here to help you feel supported, seen, and empowered.

***FOR INQUIRIES EMAIL***: Hello@mothersisterfriend.org Site:https://www.MotherSisterFriend.org When Brittany became a mom at 19, she recalls feeling afraid, unprepared, and disconnected from herself. She lacked a strong support system, and self-advocacy was a foreign concept to her. All she knew was to follow doctors' orders. So, she suffered through her first HG pregnancy without treatment, showed up at the hospital at the first sign of contractions, and birthed her baby via cesarean for reasons unknown. When she became pregnant with her second child a few years later, she was more intentional in finding a care team to support her in achieving her birth goals. She hired doula-midwives from whom she received all of her prenatal care. Despite Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) and other stressors negatively impacting that pregnancy as well, having an attentive and supportive care team that centered her needs and respected her bodily autonomy influenced a more positive and empowering experience. Inspired by her journey, Brittany felt compelled to pay it forward. She believes everyone deserves a safe, informed and empowering birthing experience. Recognizing the implications of birthing while Black in America, she actively challenges coercive healthcare practices and, alongside many dedicated birth workers, strives to improve the state of Black maternal and infant healthcare.

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. As a doula I believe in the holistic approach to birthing care; if we take care of mama's mind, body and soul, and everything will be ok. I can truly say doula work is my heart and I hope I can serve as many mama's as I can.

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.

Before starting Parenting Couture, I spent over 15 years as a Postpartum and Pediatric nurse for Inova Fairfax and a local pediatrician supporting families through every stage of parenting; from birth to the teenage years. I found there wasn’t only a need but a high demand for services to help navigate the many challenges and unknowns that come with parenting. As a mom of four boys, I understand the many aspects of parenthood, and more importantly, I know parenting isn’t a one-size-fits-all. Each service is custom-tailored to fit your individual parenting style and needs.

Hi there! I offer Birth, Postpartum, & VBAC Doula services to families throughout the DMV area! I believe in empowerment through education so I focus a lot on educating my clients and their partners so that they feel empowered & prepared for their birth. I am passionate about supporting Black birthing people in an effort to combat the Black Maternal Mortality rate, but I support any and every mother/birthing person who is ready to feel empowered in their birth!

Over a decade ago, I began my journey into birth work as a medical assistant in an OB/GYN office. While I was honored to support women during such sacred moments, I often felt a quiet yearning — a desire to connect on a more soulful, heart-centered level, free from the clinical routines. As my own life shifted toward a more holistic and intentional path, I realized that birth, healing, and connection could be honored in a much deeper way. Today, I am blessed to walk this path as a Licensed Massage Therapist, Full-Spectrum Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Yoni Steam Practitioner. My work is rooted in the belief that birth is not just a medical event — it is a sacred, transformational rite of passage. I am here to hold space for women who choose to honor their bodies, their intuition, and the sacred rhythms of life. Together, we embrace a more natural, connected way of bringing life into the world. I walk alongside women through some of the most powerful and transformational moments of their lives. As a massage therapist and doula, I specialize in nurturing women's wellness — supporting those facing chronic gynecological challenges, guiding women on their journey to conception through natural and assisted methods, and holding space throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I honor all birth stories, offering care for home births, VBACs, surrogacies, and adoptions. My support continues into the postpartum season, and I provide compassionate care for families navigating the grief of pregnancy and infant loss. As a certified Peristeam facilitator, I also harness the ancient wisdom of herbal yoni steaming to help women reclaim their womb health and reconnect with their inner power. My mission is to nurture, empower, and celebrate every woman’s journey with reverence and love. As a mom of two, life keeps me busy — especially as a proud band mom. When I'm not working, you'll find me spending time with my kids. And when I do manage to steal a moment for myself, you can bet I’m reading. I'm an avid book lover, always ready to dive into a good story, whether it's fiction, nonfiction, or something paranormal.
