*Update* Elisha is also very nice as I've been able to just vent to her without any judgment at all and she listens to me with open ears and lets me get it out and is a great shoulder to lean on when you're going through something and will give you great advice and will tell you what you NEED to hear. Her Reiki healing has helped me to balance my chakras and become grounded.

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.

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

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.
