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.

Hello beloved I am Larice Johnson and I am a certifying full spectrum doula supporting families in Maryland. I have been trained with two different black/POC organizations. My goal in this work is to provide space for black and POC birthers, and birthers in other marginalized communities to safely and comfortably birth in their most ideal way.

I plan to gather fact-based information and pair it with a gentle touch to advocate for, empower, support and love my clients through this wonderful life altering time. I am currently working with families choosing to birth in hospitals, birthing centers and private residences.

***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.

So many good things I could say but my experience with Brittany was nothing short of amazing!!!! My birth didn't go as planned so instead of a vaginal unmedicated birth I had to have a cesarean. However Brittany explained everything step by step which made me relax a bit. She also helped me prepare a birthing plan for a vaginal as well as a cesarean birth. I've never felt so empowered. One of the very few people that I would entrust with my son while I showered and took some much needed rest with my door shut! No worries at all. A meal prepared and a clean house. As Moms we need our village!!! Thank you for everything! 💙💚 Round 2 lol

Hi there, I am a wife and mother to 3 children. I spend my days staying current on evidence based information about prenatal, peri and postnatal care. I enjoy playing soccer with my kids, cooking, decorating my home for each season and holiday as well as baking and arts and crafts with my kids after school. I have always been enamored with Labor and Delivery! My most favorite thing is to hear others that talk about their birthing experience. Whether it was positive or not, this most intimate time in their lives will always be memorable. As a birth and post partum doula with several other certifications, I make it my mission to help soon to be and returning parents have a positive birth outcome even during unpredictable situations.

I had the honor of walking alongside Christine's journey. She is a bright, loving, encouraging light in this world and a gift to birthing people before and after delivery. She is full of knowledge, experience, ongoing education, mindfulness. She is a lifelong learner seeking to bring the best to others, while practicing the tools she brings to others. She practices with humility, gentleness and inclusivity. She and the services she provides are a gift to families who have just brought new life into this world. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend Judith Christine Stirn!

Lauren is a trained postpartum doula certifying with CAPPA and holds a master's degree from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health where she researched perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, infant feeding, equity & doula care. She also co-chairs the Board of Directors for Postpartum Support International's Maryland Chapter. Most importantly though, she's a mom of 3. She came to this work after a frustrating and painful postpartum experience with her first born when she was a young mom. After birthing her first two children within the traditional OB/GYN hospital system, she decided to have an unmedicated, Midwife-attended home birth with her 3rd. Each birth and postpartum experience taught her something new, and she welcomes all families - no matter their choice of medical care or arrival to parenting - to her doula practice. When she's not busy researching and working with families welcoming new babes, she loves being outside in nature with her family, singing in the car with the windows down, and reading.

I had the privilege of having Nia support me through two of the most emotionally and physically challenging experiences of my life: my third labor and delivery in 2023, and a couple years after a very tough medical abortion. In both situations, her presence, care, and advocacy made all the difference. During my labor and delivery, Nia was incredibly comforting and attentive. She advocated for me in the hospital when I needed support, helped communicate my needs, and made sure I felt safe and heard throughout the entire process. Her calm, grounded energy kept me centered, and her encouragement helped me get through some of the toughest moments. When I later faced a medical abortion, Nia remained just as supportive. She accompanied me to my appointments, drove me to the procedure, stayed by my side the entire time, and made sure I wasn’t alone emotionally or physically. Afterward, she went above and beyond, coming home with me, bringing me tea and soup, and providing the comfort and reassurance I truly needed. Her compassion, reliability, and unconditional support were a 10/10. I genuinely would not have wanted anyone else by my side. Nia is someone who shows up fully, advocates fiercely, and cares deeply. I am incredibly grateful for her.

Kortny provided the most gentle, respectful, yet empowering, doula support. She is a huge advocate for mom and baby. I have become a true advocate for doula support for my friends and family members and within the community thanks to the support I received during my pregnancy and postpartum journey. I am always happy to share my story because Kortny is a huge reason why our beautiful daughter made it here safely, naturally, and the way we planned together.  My boyfriend and I's relationship began with Kortny in the first trimester. She provided advice on setting up a birth plan, exercises to stretch my growing body, a breakdown of what's to come over the rest of our pregnancy and information on how she would support us in the postpartum phase. She taught my boyfriend various techniques to support me in and out of bed, as my belly grew and pulled on my every being, when contractions began and throughout my labor. He was honestly my secondary doula/midwife. He was more than prepared to handle every phase of labor when the time came. She truly encouraged and empowered him to bring his child down the birthing canal and provide his girlfriend with the utmost support and as I transitioned into the active labor portion and pushed.  Throughout each trimester, Kortny was a call away for any questions/concerns we had from each appointment with our OB. She advocated for me in more instances than I truly expected. I also appreciated her encouraging me to stand on decisions we discussed for the birth plan and in real time as they came up. Our daughter was due November 22, 2022. Our OB advised an induction if she did not come by Thanksgiving weekend. I shared with Kortny that I did not want an induction because I was nervous about any drugs I would be given to induce my labor. I wanted to experience my watering breaking, rushing to the hospital in excitement, packing the car - all those dreamy, movie-like things. By chance, or God's grace - I ended up having contractions the early morning of my set induction date, November 30, 2022.  I immediately texted Kortny to share what I saw in the bathroom in coordination with my timed contractions. It was time FOR REAL this time. No induction needed. Just breathing, lots of snacking and funny shows to carry me through. I labored at home for 16 hours. The hospital was ten minutes away leaving room for me to labor comfortably at home until I felt that we needed to go. When that moment came, Kortny quickly arrived at the hospital to support me through the remaining portion of my labor. She continued to advocate for me when nurses got pushy. She continued to advocate for my request for a natural birth when the OB on call stated that my blood pressure was close to determining an unnecessary C-section. She encouraged me to ask for pain medicine if I felt it was needed. We had our safe word but, we never needed it. With the team in motion, I waded my way through to the end. She provided the kind of support that was like a fly on the wall ninja style. While Kortny was there the entire way, I felt so empowered in my own actions beyond my own understanding so much so that I accomplished the goals we set at the very beginning of this journey.  The same care was provided in the postpartum phase. We discussed all of the necessary standardized questions but Kortny went the extra mile asking me about our living space and how that affected us as new parents and explained how those feelings trickled down to how supported we felt in caring for our child. She held space for both my boyfriend and I that we didn't know we needed. I love that Kortny included my boyfriend in every aspect because men aren't normally provided that support and space. His understanding of what was happening every step of the way mattered to me and she articulated it so beautifully for what we both needed throughout this experience. It was truly the most spiritual connection and experience I have ever endured. As we prepare to celebrate one year as parents to the beautiful one in the pictures below, I highly recommend Kortny Feurtado for any role with your organization. She is made for this role 10000%! May her skills and radiant personality touch the lives of many other families to come!
