I am a Full Spectrum Doula, wellness educator, and mother of four, devoted to supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum season with knowledge, compassion, and faith-centered encouragement. Through my work with Grand Guardian Birth and Family Care, I approach birth as a sacred and transformative experience—one that has the power to strengthen not only a mother, but the entire family. I believe mothers deserve to feel informed, respected, and deeply supported as they bring new life into the world. I am equally passionate about nurturing the intimate connection between parents, recognizing that a strong, unified partnership creates a foundation of peace, security, and love for both mother and baby. My philosophy blends evidence-based birth education with a holistic, faith-rooted perspective that honors the body’s design, emotional wellbeing, and the vital role of family support. I strive to walk alongside families in a way that cultivates confidence, connection, and a deep sense of purpose during this sacred season.

I have to brag on how wonderful Gabrielle Wachter is as a very supportive hands on doula. My husband and I were approaching the birth of our firstborn son, and our original birth plan was not going as planned, and she stepped in and helped out more than words can say. It was also very reassuring to know that she believed the same beliefs that we do. And having such a Powerful believing woman is so helpful when unforeseen circumstances happen during labor. My husband and I are forever grateful she was right there with us. Leading up to the birth, during labor and even some postpartum visits. I’m excited to see she is pursuing midwifery care, I know she will do very well! I will recommend her to anyone who is in search of a doula.

Birth Your Way maternity services was founded on the importance of providing physical/mental/emotional support, and the knowledge needed to make informed decisions during pregnancy and the labor & delivery process. My goal is to educate, empower, and support mothers, their partners, and even their families, so you feel safe, heard, and confident. As an experienced certified Birth Doula serving families since 2015, I offer personalized support for any gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, age, etc. I am also a certified placenta encapsulation specialist offering placenta services for your postpartum needs.

Second time client of Tias! I first used Tia's services 2 years ago where I was successful with my first medicated VBAC birth. As soon as I received my positive pregnancy test with my third baby, I KNEW Tia was going to be hired again! Even my husband, who was first against hiring a doula, was quick to ask if I already contacted Tia when I announced to him our 3rd pregnancy :) Tia did it again! She was the support I knew I needed for this 3rd birth and with her encouragement and belief in me, I was able to have an unmedicated 2VBAC! According to my husband, this is our last baby haha so I wanted to take advantage of Tia's placenta print she offers. I am so happy I decided on that because Tia made us the most beautiful placenta print which incorporated all three of our children. If another baby were to magically happen for me in the future, Tia will OF COURSE be hired again, without a question! And anyone I know in need of support for their births in the future, I will without a doubt recommend Tia. Thank you TIA!!!

Hi, I’m Rachael! I am a mom of three not-so-little kids (ages 21, 16, and 13), and a military spouse of 17 years, so I know a little about having to build your own village. I am a certified labor doula, postpartum and bereavement doula, to be a part of that village in your life. After walking alongside three families as a gestational carrier, I found my calling in nurturing others through the many paths of parenthood. I have always been passionate about pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and all things baby, so I knew I wanted to find my place in the birth world. I am certified through Birth & Baby University and currently training with StillBirthday to offer a well-rounded education along with my personal experiences with pregnancy, birth, and parenting. I offer gentle, hands-on support during birth, the postpartum period, and in times of pregnancy or infant loss. Whether you're preparing for a joyful delivery, adjusting to life with a newborn, or grieving a loss, I want to be the one to walk beside you, hold space for your experience, and offer the support you deserve. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me at home hanging out with my husband, our kids, and three dogs. In my spare time, I love being in the garden, on my yoga mat, or curled up with my knitting and a good movie.

I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough. From the very first meeting, she made me feel heard, supported, and completely confident in my birth choices. Her knowledge, calm presence, and unwavering encouragement were invaluable throughout pregnancy, labor, and delivery. During labor, she was an absolute anchor—offering comfort measures, gentle guidance, and reassurance exactly when I needed it most. She knew when to step in with suggestions and when to simply be a steady, calming presence. Because of her, I felt empowered, informed, and never alone during one of the most intense and meaningful experiences of my life. If you are looking for a doula who is compassionate, professional, and truly invested in your well-being and birth experience, I wholeheartedly recommend her. Having her by my side was one of the best decisions I made for my birth.

Hello everyone! My name is Amelia Villada. I am a certified HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator, Body Ready Method pro, midwife assistant, and birth doula supporting families in the Maryland counties of St. Mary's, Calvert, and Charles. I am passionate about helping families (re)connect with and embrace their power as they journey through this incredible rite of passage. My philosophy centers on being a conduit for healing, serving as a guide to help reconnect you to your own power and agency. Bearing witness to self discovery and supporting individuals and families as they navigate this journey with strength, dignity, and peace is one of my greatest joys. I believe that with the right support, every birth can be a positive and memorable experience.

Working with Amelia as our HypnoBirthing companion was truly transformative! Over the course of two months in September and October, she guided my husband and me with such kindness, humor, compassion, and grounded presence that after each in-person session, it felt as though we had known her for years. From the very beginning, Amelia created a warm, safe, and engaging space that allowed me to move from extreme fear and uncertainty about pregnancy and birth to feeling calm, confident, and genuinely excited for my birthing day. My husband looked forward to every class, as Amelia gave him tangible, meaningful ways to support me during pregnancy and to be an active, empowered partner during labor. Her teachings not only brought the two of us closer, but also helped us deepen our bond with our baby and equipped us with tools we will continue to use throughout parenthood and in many parts of our personal and professional lives. I am forever grateful to Amelia for sharing her knowledge and expertise in HypnoBirthing. She helped us prepare for the arrival of our baby boy with calm, clarity, peace, and joy and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide on this journey. I miss her dearly but will always take her spirit and teachings with me moving forward. What a gift she is to this world!
