Water Birth Doulas in Frederick, MD

I am a holistic birth and postpartum doula. I have been serving women for 5 years in this space. I love educating and supporting families through the perinatal period, walking alongside them while they transition into motherhood, and supporting them in the immediate postpartum while everyone settles into their new roles.

Hey beautiful souls! I'm the Dope Doula DMV, your holistic full-spectrum doula and womb wellness coach. ✨ I'm passionate about empowering Black mamas and birthing people on their journeys, from conception to postpartum and beyond. I believe in honoring the sacred wisdom of the womb and using holistic practices to cultivate self-love, informed choices, and a birth experience filled with knowledge, power, and joy. Let's connect and co-create the birthing and wellness experience you deserve!

I’m Chaya, a DMV native, proud mama of three, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), student midwife, and birth worker with a deep passion for supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My journey into birth work began in 2019 when I earned my CNA license, NRP/CPR certification, and full-spectrum doula certification. I originally entered nursing with the goal of becoming a labor and delivery nurse, but in 2020, I began apprenticing as a student and birth assistant alongside a local home birth midwife. That experience completely shifted the way I viewed birth and helped me develop a deeper appreciation for physiologic, intrinsic birth and the importance of protecting a birthing person’s autonomy. Since then, I’ve continued growing both in nursing and midwifery. I became a Licensed Practical Nurse while continuing my education toward my ultimate goal of becoming a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM). I’ve also spent several years working in a local hospital’s Labor & Delivery unit while running Nova Birth & Wellness, which has allowed me to experience birth from both the clinical and community-based sides of maternity care. As a doula, placenta encapsulation specialist, birth photographer, student midwife, nurse, and perinatal advocate, my heart has always been centered around supporting mothers during one of the most sacred and vulnerable seasons of their lives. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of attending more than 200 births in different roles, and every experience has continued to strengthen my passion for this work. While I have a special love for natural, physiologic birth, I believe there is no single “right” way to give birth. Every person deserves to feel informed, respected, supported, and in control of the decisions surrounding their body and their baby. Whether someone chooses a home birth, hospital birth, epidural, induction, cesarean, or an unmedicated birth, my role is to help them understand their options and feel confident in the path that feels right for them. Advocacy is at the core of everything I do. My goal is to create a relationship built on trust, safety, and genuine connection so my clients know they can confide in me, depend on me, and feel completely supported during such an intimate time in their lives. Many of the relationships I’ve formed with families have grown into lasting friendships, which is one of the things I value most about this work. My dream is to become a CNM and eventually open my own practice where I can provide families with compassionate, evidence-based, autonomous maternity care and offer the option of home birth—the same kind of empowering experience I was blessed to have with my own children.

Bringing more than 13 years of invaluable experience in the healthcare industry, I am deeply devoted to offering comprehensive birth and hypno-doula services, alongside pregnancy and fertility care. My journey in healthcare has honed my understanding of the intricacies of childbirth and fertility, allowing me to provide nuanced and empathetic support to every family I have the privilege to assist. My commitment to excellence drives me to deliver personalized care that embraces the individual needs and preferences of each client, ensuring they feel empowered and supported throughout their journey.

For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege of supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and pregnancy loss. 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. 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 know 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 beyond the birth itself. Whatever your journey looks like, it would be an honor to walk beside you and be part of your village.

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 ♡

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.

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.

My name is Traequanda Brock and my interest in birth and postpartum doula work came about during my graduate studies in the social work program. I have been in the social work field since 2011 and graduated from Howard University with my Master of Social Work degree. I have always been passionate about equity, especially for those who are marginalized. I learned of the disparity among black women/black birthing persons and the rate at which they weren’t surviving due to birth related complications, that are completely preventable when given the right care. As I learned the huge impact doulas could have on the life of black women/black birthing persons, I knew where my calling was leading me. I am trained through the National Black Doula Association as a birth and postpartum doula. I know that my purpose is to be of service to others and that so happens to be in this field. My interest is for birthing persons to get back in touch with their bodies and all that it can do. This looks like, trusting yourselves and tapping into your intuition, nurturing your mind, body, and soul; with the nutrients you feed it, exercise, meditation, ancestral traditions; as well as leaning on your supports through this beautiful experience.

"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.
