I strongly believe in creating a positive space to plan for, and experience, birth. My goal is to create a space of peace and confidence when it's time to meet your baby, and utilizing all of my life's knowledge and training to support your inherent wisdom to give birth. I am is known to be very empathetic. I LOVE naps and dark chocolate, and am a self-proclaimed introvert, despite what people think :). As a wife and mother of 4: ages 20, 16, and 6, I absolutely adores my children. I was called to become a Doula after experiencing 3 traumatic births, postpartum depression, and the death of one of my twin babies, all with little to no support. Through therapy, I realized I wanted to help other families so they do not have to experience these types of difficult things alone. I have an active mind and am always learning - a "forever student". I have trouble sitting still and love utilizing my many trainings and certifications to support my clients. I've been told, many times, I have a steady, calming demeanor, allowing my clients to relax in my presence and to feel held. ​When not supporting families in birth and postpartum, you can find me listening to my favorite audiobooks and podcasts, gardening, making art, and laughing at dad jokes!

Hi, I'm Catherine! I live in Hyattsville with my husband, 2.5 YO son and puppy named Daisy. After graduating from the University of Maryland in 2014, I traveled around doing some mission work, met my husband while living in Maine and eventually we landed back in my hometown to start a family. I love spending time at the beach, going for walks outside, a little coffee with my cream, fuzzy socks, loud country music, driving with the windows down, bonfires, sweater weather, cooking and baking from scratch, salted caramel, mom groups and Gilmore Girls. I believe that birth is meant to work, and that all women deserve support, encouragement and respect while they are birthing their beautiful baby! Let me walk with you on this journey towards motherhood however that looks for you. I am happy to support you with in-person or virtual doula services. I am trained in Hypnobirthing and Lamaze techniques, and currently working towards certification with Madriella Birth Doula Certification. I am excited to meet you and support you on this journey - reach out to me today so we can chat about your hopes and dreams for this birth! :)

Catherine is an incredible doula! From the very start she made me feel supported, informed, and cared for. She was by my side through every step—preparing me and my husband before labor, encouraging us during delivery, and continuing to check in afterward. Her knowledge, compassion, and advocacy made all the difference. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely have her by my side for future pregnancies!

I had the absolute pleasure of having Avivah as my baby nurse after my C-section, and I truly don’t know how I would’ve managed without her. From the moment she arrived, she brought calm, care, and competence into our home. Not only did she care for my newborn with such gentleness and attention, but she also went above and beyond by helping with my older kids, preparing lunches for me, bathing the baby, and even folding laundry without ever being asked. She is incredibly capable, proactive, and thoughtful, always one step ahead of what I needed. Her support allowed me the time and space to rest and heal, knowing everything (and everyone) was in the best hands. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

We had a wonderful experience with Jenny as our night doula. She cared for our newborn daughter over the course of a month and a half. She was communicative, prompt, and immediately put us at ease with her warm and reassuring presence. Not only was she a help to us in caring for our daughter overnight, but she always made sure to check in with me and how I was doing postpartum, and was generally just lovely to chat with and get to know. Her professionalism, trustworthiness, and knowledge were evident from the start, and she handled everything with such care and attention. We felt completely supported, and can't recommend her highly enough!

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!

Recent review

We hired Alexis as a birth doula and then for some additional postpartum support too. Alexis was beyond helpful. She was generous with her time and wisdom. Of course things didn't go according to plan, these things never do, and she provided a calming, knowledge that let us work through the complications and feel comfortable with how to move forward. Alexis is well informed and allows you to share your ideas too. She is not at all pushy and supported whatever we wanted, but guided us when we really had no idea and needed a trusted source. Crunchy but not too crunchy, laidback but knows when to step in. I appreciated that we could talk about the details of a medical procedure and also chat about a good playlist. Easy to get in touch with and an all around great gal. I would definitely recommend Alexis for all your birth and baby needs.

I’m Chaya, a DMV native and proud mama to three beautiful children. Since beginning my student midwifery journey in 2021, I’ve come to truly appreciate the profound importance of ‘intrinsic’ birth. My journey started in nursing, with the aim of becoming a labor and delivery nurse. I earned my CNA license, NRP/CPR certification, and full-spectrum doula certification in 2019. In 2020, I began apprenticing as a student and birth assistant for a local home birth midwife. Running Intrinsic Motherhood and working part-time as a clinical tech in a local hospital’s L&D unit has further fueled my passion. I dream of becoming a CNM and opening my own practice to offer families the comfort of home births, just as I experienced with my own children. As a placenta encapsulation specialist, birth photographer, and perinatal advocate, my heart has always been set on supporting mothers during this sacred time. From a young age, I knew I wanted to guide mothers through their journey into motherhood, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I believe every person deserves an informed and autonomous birth, no matter the path they choose. Advocacy is at the core of doula work, and it’s what drives me to continue in this field. Over the past few years, I’ve had the honor of attending over 200 births as a doula, student midwife, and tech. While I specialize in natural intrinsic birth, I support all birth choices and help mothers find their own path. The bonds I form with my clients often turn into close, loving friendships. I prioritize mutual trust and safety, ensuring you can confide in and rely on me during the most sacred times.

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for the support, care, and love that Chaya provided during my pregnancy and birth. From the very first conversation, I felt heard, empowered, and truly cared for. My doula was a calming presence, always reassuring me and my partner and helping us confidently navigate every step. When labor started, she was by my side, offering comfort measures, encouragement, and unwavering support. Her knowledge and experience made all the difference—I truly don’t know how we would have done it without her! She helped me advocate for myself and reminded me that my voice mattered in my birth journey. Thanks to her, I felt strong, capable, and completely supported. Our birth was a beautiful experience, and I owe so much of that to her presence. If you are looking for a doula who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and wholeheartedly invested in your birth experience, look no further. Forever grateful,

Hi, I'm Victoria Lynn, a postpartum doula and maternal health and wellness coach serving the DMV and RVA areas in-person and providing virtual services globally. I'm dedicated to redefining motherhood as sustainable, not sacrificial and believe becoming a mother should be a sacred time of self-exploration, safety, ritual, and deep care, not isolation and depletion. I specialize in working with women navigating the often-shocking gap between postpartum expectations and reality, offering practical interventions for physical restoration, personalized wellness habits that fit real life with a newborn and kiddos, and the permission to prioritize healing without guilt. My approach recognizes that your physical wellbeing is the foundation of everything else. When you have energy and vitality, you can fully show up for your family, your work, and most importantly, yourself.

Victoria's support has been truly valuable to me as a mother. We have become sisters. She is always available with resources and recommendations to help me navigate fourth trimester needs, and an ear and sounding board during times when I have been stressed and exhausted.

Hi! I’m Nicole and here’s a bit about my story. I became a Birth and Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist because I truly believe parents deserve to feel supported, not overwhelmed, during pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum stage. This season is tender, emotional, and life-changing and my role is to be by your side with compassion, knowledge, and reassurance. I meet families exactly where they are—honoring their choices, their culture, and their intuition. While providing evidence-based guidance and calm, grounded support, and respect for each family’s values, and understanding that there is no “right” way to give birth or parent a newborn. Whether you’re preparing for labor, navigating the early postpartum weeks, or adjusting to life with a new baby, my goal is to create a calm, non-judgmental space where YOU feel confident in your choices and supported every step of the way. My philosophy is centered on nurturing both baby and parent. Whether I’m offering hands-on newborn care, emotional support during birth, my goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and never alone. I focus on promoting rest, recovery, and bonding while helping families establish gentle routines that feel realistic and sustainable. I view my role as both a guide and a steady presence. I believe when parents feel supported, they thrive — and that belief guides every part of the care I provide.

We had a wonderful experience with our doula Nicole. She was calm, supportive, and incredibly helpful throughout labor and birth. Her presence made us feel more confident and cared for, and we’re so grateful for her support. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and knowledgeable doula.

While photographing my first home birth in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2014, I naturally found myself playing the role of doula between shots. I signed up for official training the next day and never looked back. Soon after doula training, I earned a Certification in Lactation Counseling (CLC) and began helping mothers struggling with feeding issues. I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of babies in various settings, with varying feeding challenges, and a wide range of feeding goals. Phelicia welcomes families of all dynamics, ethnicities, and backgrounds, supporting births at home, in-hospital, medicated or unmedicated, planned, and unplanned cesareans.

Phelicia is an incredible and supportive doula! We loved having her by our side antepartum, during labor and postpartum. She is knowledgeable, professional and kind. Our delivery ended up quicker than expected and she made it to the hospital in record time and supported us through a unique experience! We highly recommend hiring Phelicia - it was a wonderful experience.
