Additionally, I recently obtained my Certified Breastfeeding Specialist certificate (CBS) from Lactation Education Resources in October 2025.

Both of my children were born without intervention and at home. When not working, I can be found reading for pleasure, exercising, doing yoga, hiking, or gardening.

A New York native turned Maryland transplant, Ro’s journey to becoming a doula was paved by a deep fascination with how people transform throughout life. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, they spent years specializing in early intervention and infant feeding. The foundation of their career began in the home of new families, supporting children from birth to three during their most pivotal developmental milestones. Their work in early intervention and strong interest in birth guided them to DONA’s Labor and Birth Doula training in 2020. They quickly realized their heart lives in the “after” - helping families adjust during the transformative postpartum period. They spent five years in North Carolina as a private nanny and infant educator, honing the practical, day-to-day rhythms of newborn care. In 2025, they formalized this passion through ProDoula’s Postpartum & Infant Care training. Today, through RoCo Doulas, they combine their clinical knowledge of infant development with a warm, supportive approach to postpartum care. Ro is here to bring authentic, knowledgeable, and judgment-free support to your home.

Hi, I’m Anisha, a birth doula and the owner of Womb 360. For over 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early postpartum period. My approach to doula care is centered around making sure you feel informed, heard, supported, and confident in the decisions you make for your birth. I believe every family deserves to understand their options and have someone in their corner who can provide calm, nonjudgmental support throughout the experience. Whether you’re preparing for your first birth, hoping for a different experience this time around, feeling overwhelmed by all the decisions, or simply want an experienced support person by your side, I meet you where you are. I provide in-person birth support throughout the DMV area as well as virtual doula support. Through Womb 360, I also offer personalized birth planning and pregnancy education to help families feel prepared long before labor begins. Birth can be unpredictable, but you shouldn’t have to walk into it feeling unprepared. I’d be honored to be part of your support team.

Hi! I'm Jess. I've been a birth doula for over 2 years and have attended 30+ births. I came into this work having a doula myself and am lucky to call her my mentor. My approach is simple: I meet you where you are. I take the time to understand you and your family's priorities for your birth, and I offer as much (or as little!) education as you'd like. Sending along resources and recommendations tailored to what you need, when you need it. Getting ready together I offer a birth planning session where we walk through what to expect in early labor, once you arrive at your place of birth, and the options available to you during admission, pushing, newborn care, and the third stage. Depending on your desires, I can help advocate when something isn't standard practice, and I'll be right there watching for your preferences on the big day. I also offer an in-person prenatal session for you and your partner, where we go over comfort measures and gold-star labor positions (shoutout Spinning Babies!). As your due date gets closer, I help normalize and support those final weeks — encouraging rest, relaxation, and peace as you prepare to meet your baby. On the big day We're busy! I offer plenty of hands-on support — counter pressure, massage, and continued work on positions to help your baby descend. This is all with the support and collaboration of your care team which is important to create a calm, supportive envrionment. Please forgive my lack of a doula website as I have mostly been taking births through an agency. I did attach my womb recording business as I can offer this to my client's free of charge :) I'm so excited for you, and if you've read this far — thank you. I really hope we get to connect. 🤍

Hi! My name is Shae, and I would love an opportunity to connect with your family. I bring six years of hands-on childcare experience, including three years working at a swim school and three years as a full-time nanny. I have recently finished my postpartum doula course. Through roles, I've had the privilege of caring for children from newborn through 12 years old, supporting them through different developmental stages with patience, creativity, and consistency. I am also currently pursuing my Bachelor Degree of Social Work. Working at a swim school I was able to to manage multiple personalities, ensure safety at all times, and build confidence in children as they learned new skills. As a full-time nanny, I've provided individualized care-supporting routines, creating age-appropriate activities, insuring milestones are being met, preparing meals, and partnering closely with parents to maintain a nurturing and structured environment. While I truly enjoy working with all ages, my favorite stage is newborn to 4 years old. I love the curiosity, rapid development, and sweet personality growth that happens during those years. Supporting little ones as they learn to walk, talk, explore, and express themselves is incredibly rewarding to me. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family and how I can best support your needs.

My journey into birth work began with my own two births — each one different, each one teaching me something profound about the power of support, advocacy, and feeling truly seen. Those experiences lit a fire in me that led me to become a birth doula in 2018, where I have had the privilege of serving families through the DC Birth Doula community. I am also a Lamaze-trained Childbirth Educator, currently in the process of recertification, and I teach childbirth education, newborn care, and infant feeding to help families feel informed and confident as they step into parenthood. I am also deepening my expertise by studying to become a Lactation Counselor through Childbirth International, because I believe that support doesn't end at birth. It's just the beginning.

I recently became a mother in 2020 and to be honest, I didn’t have a great birth experience. Which is pretty normal. Until I learned that it didn’t have to be this way, which inspired my passion for birth work. I want birthing people to be empowered in their births and have the best experience possible. I approach birth holistically, and I feel honored to be able to share years of expertise with birthing people and their families in the NOVA and Richmond area. ​ Every woman deserves to have someone there to guide and assist them in making educated choices about their pregnancy, and remind them that they can trust the strength of their bodies during this time.

I decided I wanted to Start my birthworker journey, when my unmedicated natural birth turned into a emergency C-section. Even though, I had labored at a birth center with 2 midwives. The decides to transfer me after several days of prodromal labor. My experience at the hospital was very traumatic, and left me unaware and sad. I didn’t have anyone to talk to about my experience. But my doula encouraged me to talk about it. I realized I wanted to be for other pregnant women and make a difference in how we care for pregnant women during and after their pregnancy. As a POC birthworker, I am dedicated to help women of all walks connect better with their bodies and babies,throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journey.my mission is to prepare women by educating them about their birth rights, pregnancy/labor & medical interventions.I want women to feel more empowered and confident in every aspect about their birth.

I believe if we implement the holistic approach of our ancestors, entitled to the birthing mother, we can create a meaningful and powerful birth experience every time.
