Hi All! I am a certified, postpartum and birth Doula serving the DMV area. I have always been a natural servant/caregiver, and a professional one as well. I became a postpartum Doula because my passion is to serve mothers and validate their feelings about motherhood all while teaching and providing needed assurance and information. I have been a caregiver for six years now, and I have been a postpartum Doula for the last two years. I have worked with preemies, special-needs babies, multiple babies at once, overnights and daytime clients. I have served over 40 families, including personal clients as well as agencies. My clients would say I am professional, gentle, timely, knowledgeable, and persistent, caring and dependable.

Hi! I’m Kate. A mama of 3 and a birth doula! I’m from Baltimore MD and work with families doing hospital or home birth!

Recent review

I had the pleasure of working with Kate and her mother Margie during the labor and delivery of my daughter. Kate was my Doula and her mother was my birth photographer. They make one amazing duo! I had planned on a home water birth and unfortunately after 30 hours of unmedicated labor at home it turned into a hospital transfer and then an emergency cesarian surgery. Kate and her mother stayed in contact with me throughout the day when I knew I was in early labor and then got to my home promptly after she received the call that things were quickly progressing. Kate was so knowledgeable on different comfort measures for me during my labor. She was compassionate and extremely supportive during the whole entire experience! She even sent me a lot of information prior to my daughters arrival regarding helpful tips, body positioning and things I could do prior to early labor and through out to help me during every stage. Her mother is so kind, empathetic and takes beautiful pictures! I will cherish the moments she captured for our family forever. Margie even came to the hospital with us and stayed at the hospital not knowing if she would or would not be able to come back in to our room in order to take pictures after my surgery. I could not recommend hiring them more! Thank you both so much for being a part of my birth journey! XX- Alisha Rutherford

As a postpartum doula and deep thinker, I offer more than just burp cloths and lullabies. I bring a unique perspective honed by experience and understanding of the physical and emotional whirlwind of those early months. As a postpartum doula, my journey isn't just through the physical realities of new parenthood, but also emotional support. My own experience as a mother has shaped my approach. I believe the postpartum period is a time of vulnerability and significant changes. I'm not just here to soothe your baby, but to guide you through this profound shift, nurturing your physical and emotional well-being while honoring the sacredness of this time. My doula practice is a bridge between tradition and modern needs, offering both practical support and philosophical insights to help you navigate the complexities of motherhood with grace and wisdom.

Hi, I currently have 2.5 years nannying & babysitting. Also, 1.5 years in child care centers as an assistant teacher. Throughout my experiences with working in child care and also opening my own family child care I have accumulated 9+ certifications. My ages of expertise is 0-3 years old, I have work experience with children up to 6 years old. I am comfortable growing and learning with older children, and have done a lot of study on growing skills and developmental process. I would be a perfect fit for a family that would appreciate someone who values emotional intelligence and appropriate development per age of child. I would describe myself as a gentle, caring, trustworthy, adaptable caregiver. As a nanny, I will definitely love your children as if they were my own!!

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.

Hey, I'm Chey and I’d love to be your doula! Born in Southern VA and raised all over the DMV area, I have always wanted to help people. Having experience in the medical field, I ultimately would love to become a Midwife and start a collective with like minded individuals who believe in providing a village and “Mothering the Mother”. I am a certified labor doula through MaternityWise Institute and currently working on certifying with them for Postpartum, Lactation, CBE, and more. I am constantly researching and willing to broaden my knowledge to be the best I can for my families. I am a mother of four boys, 3 of which had NICU time (2 micro preemies and 1 term). I have experience with children with special needs (oxygen, g-tube, reflux, developmental delays, and more). I am very compassionate and empathetic to the needs of my clients. In my free time I enjoy listening to music (all types!), taking photos, and researching topics in relation to maternal and infant health
