"It was all a dream!" Literally! My journey to doula-hood started with a dream from the Lord of me giving birth on my mom's kitchen floor while she knelt behind me to support and assist me through it all. I didn't fully understand it now, but now I am watching that birthing dream come to fruition right before my eyes and the profound message is becoming more and more clearer. Born to birth; Brittany Williams, nicknamed “Doula B”; is a certified birth doula and lactation support specialist trained by “Doula Trainings International” (DTI), “Lactation Education Resources" (LER) and "Baby Basics" (What to Expect Project) organizations. "As a doula, my goal is to provide added love, peace and light to help reduce the risks related to postpartum depression and to aid women in gaining or regaining control and satisfaction of their birthing experience through a supportive and prayerful approach. All the while assisting to facilitate the ultimate birthing experience by empowering, equipping and strengthening mothers and families through their remarkable birth & postpartum journey." -Doula B

Hey, I'm Chey and I’d love to be your doula! Born in Southern VA and raised all over the DMV area, I have always wanted to help people. Having experience in the medical field, I ultimately would love to become a Midwife and start a collective with like minded individuals who believe in providing a village and “Mothering the Mother”. I am a certified labor doula through MaternityWise Institute and currently working on certifying with them for Postpartum, Lactation, CBE, and more. I am constantly researching and willing to broaden my knowledge to be the best I can for my families. I am a mother of four boys, 3 of which had NICU time (2 micro preemies and 1 term). I have experience with children with special needs (oxygen, g-tube, reflux, developmental delays, and more). I am very compassionate and empathetic to the needs of my clients. In my free time I enjoy listening to music (all types!), taking photos, and researching topics in relation to maternal and infant health

I am passionate about supporting families through holistic childbirth education and postpartum wellness with placenta encapsulation. I have been a childbirth educator since 2018 and have encapsulated over 100 placentas. My greatest joy in this work is being a bystander of the power that a birthing person holds to choose the way they wish to welcome their sweet baby.

In addition to my pursuit of becoming a medical doctor, I also enjoy spending time with children and investing into the next generation. Growing up I spent a lot of time watching young children; I don't recall a time when I wasn't holding someone's baby. As an adult, I enjoy spening time with my nieces, nephews, and godchildren. My childcare experiences includes my pediatric rotation, community sevice, and paid employment via care.com, sittercity.com and nannylane.com. My pediatric rotation gave me the medical background for caring for children from first days of life to adolescence. Additionally, I have spent the last 3 years nannying and volunteering with infants and toddlers within the foster care system. If I can be of service, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to working with you and your family!

I’m passionate about decolonizing birth through community care and ritual, and I serve on the Board of Directors for the National Association to Advance Black Birth. I believe birth is a sacred rite of passage and should be honored as such. In caring for parents, I help parents connect with their own intuition, power, and magic so they can walk with confidence into the initiation of parenthood. I offer mentoring, education, and healing from the preconception phase all the way to the postpartum phase. I would be honored to walk with you on this journey.

 I loved working with Megan. She helped care for our now 4 month old second child Rowan recently for about 2 months. She was kind as well as very helpful and always asking what she could do to make things easier. She was a great listening ear for all the things baby, birth, and beyond. She mostly helped us with infant care, bottle and pump part washing, laundry, and making snacks, like muffins. The resources she shared with me as print outs I kept on our fridge because they were so helpful. She also had recommendations for other providers, like a pelvic floor therapist. I honestly felt like I was having a friend or family come hang out and watch the family after a visit or two. All in all, highly recommend working with her! I don't have any complaints, truly. I will only say I wish I had hired her sooner, knowing what I know now. It was vital for me having someone who cared about my mental health just as much as my new baby, especially this second time around. Highly recommend working with her!

I highly recommend Liv. They were so helpful postpartum for me and my baby. Having a NICU baby was difficult, but Liv was there to help. I felt confident taking a nap or showering and leaving my baby with them. They continued to help me through the postpartum process as a first time mom who also had a c-section. Liv had plenty of advice and tips and trick to help me. I felt comfortable asking all my question. It was nice to have someone knowledgeable to talk. I cannot recommend them enough. I will definitely be calling Liv for my next baby!

Hi I’m Keely and I’m a birth doula serving South Jersey & the Greater Philly area. I only take one client per month to really make sure you have someone you can lean on for anything. I believe every woman should have a doula and that support on this level can change a potentially nerve wracking experience into something empowering and beautiful.
