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.

Hi, I’m Maya, a postpartum doula and sleep consultant passionate about helping families feel cared for, rested, and confident in their new chapter. Through Nestled, I provide overnight support, newborn care education, and gentle sleep solutions tailored to your family’s needs.

When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me spending time with my own loved ones, exploring nature on a hike, or winding down with a good TV show.

Hey there! I'm Chas & I'm a full spectrum doula, a certified perinatal nutrition educator, & a personal chef of 10+ years. This supportive service was created in memory of my son Anthony. My mission is to provide physical, emotional, mental, educational, & nutritional support to parents by supporting with a mix of humility, heart, facts, and food.

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.

I serve the Greater Washington DC area to include Northern Virginia and Southern Maryland, as a Childbirth Educator, Birth Doula, Enneagram coach and Placenta Encapsulator. My main focus is to support families to prepare and experience their best possible birth and minimize fear.

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).

Greetings, I’m Theodora! I’m a first generation Ghanaian-American postpartum doula serving families in Washington, DC and parts of Northern Virginia. I trained as a full-spectrum doula and started my doula practice in Brooklyn, NYC in 2018. Since then I have supported birthing and postpartum women, people, and their families on their journeys in Richmond, Virginia and now in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area. My doula practice is also shaped by my West African background. I come from a big Ghanaian family and diaspora community, where community care is how we care for each other through life’s transitions, especially birth and postpartum. I provide culturally-rooted and affirming postpartum education, support, and nourishing services and products to birthing and postpartum people. I have several postpartum packages I offer, so that you can find the right fit for you and your family. A portion of all my services and products supports black and brown and immigrant women/birthing people and their families across the spectrum of their reproductive needs to have safe, dignified, and loving reproductive experiences. I look forward to hearing how I can join your team of care to provide a nourishing and supported postpartum journey!

For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege of supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and life’s most transformative moments. As a certified full-spectrum doula, childbirth educator, lactation coach, infant massage educator, and maternal health advocate, I believe every family deserves compassionate, evidence-informed, and culturally responsive care that honors their unique journey. I provide calm, personalized support throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, and pregnancy loss. My approach blends practical education, emotional support, informed decision-making, and gentle advocacy so you feel confident, prepared, and empowered to make the choices that are right for you. Whether you are welcoming your first baby, growing your family, planning an unmedicated birth, preparing for an induction or cesarean birth, navigating postpartum recovery, or seeking support after loss, I meet you with compassion, respect, and unwavering presence. Having supported more than 500 births, I understand that no two birth stories are alike. My role is not to direct your experience, but to walk beside you—helping you feel heard, informed, and supported every step of the way. I am committed to creating a safe, judgment-free space where your voice is centered, your preferences are respected, and your family feels cared for long after your baby arrives. It would be an honor to be part of your village as you prepare to welcome your little one into the world.

Hello all, I am Brittani Gates a BEST certified birth doula. I am currently serving the DMV area. I am a current Maternal Child Health MPH student and am passionate about maternal everything! My goal as doula is to support my clients in the pursuit of their best possible birth. That may seem rather ambiguous but everyone has different desires and expectations; accordingly, I support them all. In my free time I enjoy music, books, and trying different restaurants. Congratulations on this amazing journey. I leave you with this: With my support and your intuition, there is nothing we can’t do(ula)!

I provide birthing bodies with positive and compassionate support throughout their birth experience while empowering them to lead healthy lives.

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 am in the process of certifying as a full-spectrum doula through Doula Trainings International. After ten years as a high school teacher in Washington, DC, I am excited for a change. After witnessing a friend's birth and tending to a loved one in the hospital, I realized that doula work was calling to me. The skills (patience, calmness, humor) I learned as a teacher support me as a doula, and allow me to support you through birth and early parenthood.

Since 2015, I have served clients as a Birth and Postpartum Doula. In 2021, I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I have served over 80 clients having vaginal births after caesarean (VBAC)  planned/unplanned C-sections, vaginal medicated and unmedicated births. I assisted close to 150 families as a postpartum doula, helping them adjust to parenthood with daytime or nighttime visits. I love assisting at births but the greatest joy for me is postpartum work. Families are under prepared for the changes that come during the first 3 months after birth. Having a guide makes the 4th trimester much smoother.

My goals are always to provide and be a judgement-free safe space while I provide the tools, resources and support for you, Baby and the support that will be there for you throughout your journey of parenthood.
