About me

Welcome! I’m Hadassah Bellot, a licensed midwife and the founder of Myrtle Tree Midwifery, proudly serving families throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Originally from the Bronx, my journey into birth work was born from a passion to reclaim safe, sacred, and supported birth experiences—especially for Black women and families. I provide holistic, personalized care that begins well before labor and birth. My specialties include home birth, water birth, and preconception counseling, with a strong focus on Black maternal health, fertility support, and person-centered care. I am trained in supporting VBACs (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean), twins, triplets, breech births, and I integrate Spinning Babies® techniques to promote optimal fetal positioning.

Service introduction

I am a homebirth midwife who provides quality perinatal care. I support you by providing evidence based information, pain management techniques, motivational coaching, and more. My passion is making perinatal support more accessible to individuals who may have considered a home birth to be a luxury. The care that is provided is non-judgmental and un-biased. You are invited to connect and see how I can meet your needs. Inquire about discounts for cash pay and for families who have doula support.
