Esthanette Reid Birth & Postpartum Doula in Washington, DC
About Esthanette
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).

Embracing the Plan (Birth or Postpartum)
Sometimes you want to know the options you have and have a written communication that you can share with your village and your provider so that everyone understands your preferences for labor and childbirth. During this session, we create just that - a plan. Each session will be tailored to your needs, and you will leave feeling more confident about your choices.
What to expect
I offer a variety of birth and postpartum services personalized for each client. When you hire me, I provide evidence-based suggestions on everything from nutrition and exercise, interacting with your care team, how your village can support you, and so much more!
