Hello all, I am Brittani Gates a BEST certified birth doula. I am currently serving the DMV area. I am a current Maternal Child Health MPH student and am passionate about maternal everything! My goal as doula is to support my clients in the pursuit of their best possible birth. That may seem rather ambiguous but everyone has different desires and expectations; accordingly, I support them all. In my free time I enjoy music, books, and trying different restaurants. Congratulations on this amazing journey. I leave you with this: With my support and your intuition, there is nothing we can’t do(ula)!

Hello Parents of Little Ones! My name is Jessica Vonada! I have always had a passion for children, especially babies! My initial work with infants was in the setting of an early learning center from 2005-2009 while I was in college earning a B.S. in Elementary Education and M.S. in Education, specializing in ESL. After graduating in 2009, I taught for 2 years before realizing working with infants was my true calling. In 2011, I began working in the role of a Newborn Care Specialist, primarily with preemies & twins. From May 2015 until July 2017, I had the privilege of caring for orphaned & abandoned infants and toddlers in a babies home in Uganda. And in 2018, I received my certification as an Advanced Newborn Care Specialist. My journey to becoming a child sleep consultant began in 2012. At that time I was in a 24 hour care position with a set of twins. Initially their sleep seemed fairly on track, but after hitting the 4 month sleep regression, their sleep quickly began to unravel. By 6 months of age they were waking every 1-2 hours each night and the mom decided it was time to bring in a sleep consultant. I was skeptical to say the least! Much to my disbelief, within a few days they were sleeping 12 uninterrupted hours at night and began taking age appropriate naps. After that I had to know more! And in 2016, I graduated from the Family Sleep Institute as a Certified Child Sleep Consultant. As I continued as a Newborn Care Specialist and Child Sleep Consultant, I realized I was not always able to advise and assist lactating and postpartum moms the way I would have liked to. I wanted to become more balanced and be able to provide holistic support to the families I was caring for. As a result, I took the necessary steps to become a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and Certified Postpartum Doula. And currently I am pursuing the journey to becoming an IBCLC. I have a true passion for what I do and would love to help you and your family get the sleep you need!

Hello Everyone: I am Maxine, a Newborn Care Specialist. I come with many years of experience developing new borns and toddlers. I m a former day care provider. I have always enjoyed caring for babies and toddlers, and supporting families through those first precious months of life, brings me great fulfillment. My background combines hands-on experience with a deep understanding of infant development, sleep routines, and family adjustment during the early stages of parenthood. I believe a calm and organized environment helps both baby and parents thrive. My approach focuses on creating a safe, nurturing, and predictable routine that allows everyone to rest and feel confident. I also make it a priority to provide reassurance and education, helping parents feel supported and informed every step of the way. In my free time, I enjoy spending quiet mornings with a good cup of coffee, visiting local parks, and finding new ways to make life easier for families during the newborn stage.

Hi! I’m Samantha. Certified birth and postpartum doula located in the DMV. I am also currently a student midwife. I LOVE everything birth!! I believe that birth should be your way and every person should be informed to make the best decisions for you and baby. I create a judgement free zone for both birthers and support persons while fully supporting educationally, physically and emotionally. During my free time I am finding new adventures with my girls and husband. I’m also a dance teacher and high school cheerleading coach.

My name is Traequanda Brock and my interest in birth and postpartum doula work came about during my graduate studies in the social work program. I have been in the social work field since 2011 and graduated from Howard University with my Master of Social Work degree. I have always been passionate about equity, especially for those who are marginalized. I learned of the disparity among black women/black birthing persons and the rate at which they weren’t surviving due to birth related complications, that are completely preventable when given the right care. As I learned the huge impact doulas could have on the life of black women/black birthing persons, I knew where my calling was leading me. I am trained through the National Black Doula Association as a birth and postpartum doula. I know that my purpose is to be of service to others and that so happens to be in this field. My interest is for birthing persons to get back in touch with their bodies and all that it can do. This looks like, trusting yourselves and tapping into your intuition, nurturing your mind, body, and soul; with the nutrients you feed it, exercise, meditation, ancestral traditions; as well as leaning on your supports through this beautiful experience.

I am a Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist dedicated to supporting babies and their families. I am currently working towards my nursing prerequisites at Northern Virginia Community College with hopes to pursue a career in lactation consulting in 2025. I am passionate about providing care for families of all backgrounds and cultures. One of my greatest joys is helping new parents learn how go care for their newborns. I am able to help families with diaper changing, bottle sanitizing and preparation, bathing, nursery organization, baby laundry, and much more. I am also experienced in umbilical and circumcision care. I take into consideration the individual needs of each family I work with, striving to guide them through the first months of parenthood. My goal is to help parents feel confident in baby care, nutrition, and safety. Additionally, I have extensive experience with toddlers and school-aged children, having worked as a nanny, lead teacher, and daycare assistant. With this background, I am familiar with creating developmentally appropriate activities for children of all ages. Helping siblings transition into their big sister/brother role is a passion of mine.
