Vee Louise Postpartum Doula in Bowie, MD

Thank you, Vee, for everything that you do - and for such patience and grace with new parents. With your love, support/guidance, I have positive experiences of the whole birth process and early days at home with a newborn. So grateful!!

— Jennifer D.

Vee, There will never be enough words to express our gratitude towards you. As we've reflected on our journey to parenthood, we see clearly just how intentional the Lord was in bringing us together. We appreciate not only the work you do, but the woman you have shown yourself to be. We couldn't have asked for more in a doula and are honored to have the privilege of bring in your care. Thank you for every text, call, prayer, word of wisdom, advocacy, all the things! We can never thank you enough. May GOD continue to bless the work of your hands. May you lack no good thing and your cup always run over. May the Lord show you His faithfulness always, and may every day be a reminder of just how much he loves you. Love, Your sister, brother, and niecey!

Vee is amazing! She came to do my belly binding after I lost my baby, she is super knowledgeable and patient. The belly binding has helped A LOT with allowing my tummy to go back down. I would recommend every mommy to try the belly binding

My wife and I cannot begin to explain how valuable Vee has been to help us navigate this beautiful chapter in our lives, and in our marriage. Every step of the way, Vee has been attentive with us at the focal point of her energy, and using all available resources to keep us informed, and optimistic. With her help, she gave me confidence to help my wife through labor, and she gave my wife the strength to endure labor while also reducing the labor time down to less than 12 hours! My wife’s total time between labor and push time was approximately 12 hours and 8 minutes. Even in postpartum, she has been extremely helpful in answering all of our questions about our baby as she grows and adapts to the world every day! When issues or questions arose, she helped to answer and outsource additional help where needed to help get us the help that we required and always followed up to see the issue was resolved. Becoming parents seemed very daunting, but Vee has made this process significantly smoother than we could have ever imagined. If we ever decide to do it again, we know who we are calling to help us through this process.

— Shalena and Sedrick B.

We are so grateful that you helped us shape our early parenting experiences. We feel like you helped us lay the foundation for everything we've built on the last 8 months. M is now crawling everywhere, standing as much as possible, and eating foods!!!

— Alex and Joseph C.

Thank you Vee for all your support, it was truly invaluable! C. slept a 5 five stretch last night!

— Rachel M.

Thank you Vee! Thank you so much again for taking such good care of our sweet boy!

— Kelly and Cormar C.

Thank you for all the support these last couple months in getting me prepared to have this baby!

— S. B.

Thanks for everything!!! The work you do is AMAZING and was a great reminder of all that I needed to pull out of myself. The power of God in you is visual in the birthing room. The oil revealed itself :-) So on your days when you're wondering your why remember us and what you did for our family. Keneatha & Omari

— Keneatha B.

We LOVE working with you. You are wonderful and are making this post-partum period so much easier - we feel so well-supported by you. The post-partum road has been challenging and we really appreciate your warm and thoughtful care for me and our little baby. You've taken great care of us! With much appreciation, Jacqueline and Ryan

— Jacqueline W.

Vee has been a wonderful post-partum doula for our family. We needed support at night so that we could get some sleep when our baby was between 0 and 2 months old. A few times a week, we would have her come at night and stay from 11pm and 7am. She was great with the baby, gave detailed write-ups of everything that happened on her watch, and gave me really valuable advice and support on things like post-C section lymphatic massage. Highly recommend!

— Alice C.

Vee is an incredible postpartum doula. From day one, her professionalism, deep knowledge, and clear communication made a huge difference for us during those overwhelming first days with our newborn. She adapted effortlessly to our needs, listened without judgment, and really understood our concerns—always offering thoughtful solutions and practical tips to help us through each challenge. Thanks to Vee, our son started eating and sleeping much better, and breastfeeding—something that had been painful and stressful—became smooth, comfortable, and more than enough. We’re truly grateful for her support and guidance. Vee has our highest recommendation.

— Xiang and Leo R.

Vee is beyond exceptional. She is empowering, direct, encouraging, intelligent, and the best doula I could have possibly hoped for. She is patient and warm, but honest and convicting. I felt supported and challenged by her and felt in control of the things I was in control of, and less scared of the parts of my birth that I wasn't in control of! I'm so thankful to her and will definitely be using her my second time around. :)

— Taylor O.

My husband & I hired Vee as a doula for the birth of our son. While many companies or doulas offered virtual prenatal meetings, Vee met with us at our house with a full agenda and hands-on help for the exercises she shared with me. I appreciated the chance to get to know her prior to the delivery, and her regular texts to check in and put things in perspective when my body felt pregnant and strange. She’s very experienced and I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for an invested and professional birth doula. When we found out I’d need a C-section, she helped me prepare mentally and for the recovery, she met us at the hospital and was a calm and organized presence during that whirlwind time right after our baby was born. She also came over and spent an afternoon helping with whatever we needed at home, recovery exercises, and with all those “fourth trimester” questions that came up since we didn’t need her time during labor.

— Carson G.

Vee is an absolute amazing doula! I had the pleasure of having her assist my birth of my daughter and her willingness to support, advocate and advise my husband and I was so needed. I appreciate how she considers the whole person and their environment in the birth, creating room to discuss both the big and small decisions and thoughts. She is also very well informed on hospital policies and procedures along with significant awareness of the needs of most marginalized communities especially with African American families. We are so truly grateful and fortunate to have received her birth and postpartum care.

Vee was a Dolua for myself and husband for our first pregnancy & baby. I was honored to get to work with her. She provided so much guidance, knowledge, compassion and care and I was extremely grateful for her. I had a very smooth pregnancy up until 25 weeks when my water broke early. I ended up having to be in the hospital for almost 3 months and Vee supported me the entire way through. Hospital visits, phone calls, virtual check ins, text support. She empowered me every inch of the way. She guided my husband Greg and I through all delivery possibilities and amplified my voice with my physicians. She is an all around advocate, doula, support system, coach and mentor and I am blessed to know her!

— Tara-Whitney R.

Vee was amazing! She went above and beyond to provide service before, during, and after my little one's birth. I'd recommend her to anyone seeking out doula care and belly binding.

— Arielle D.

Vee was incredibly kind, educational and trust-worthy. I am so grateful for the experience to work with her. I highly recommend her for a variety of doula experiences including belly wrapping, night care and holistic postpartum support.

January 2023 Thank you! Dear Velesha, Wow what a journey this has been! From the moment we met you we knew we wanted you to be our doula. You have made this beautiful time of our lives so much more enjoyable. Thank you for your support & knowledge. We would have been lost without your guidance! Now we are educated & can advocate for ourselves! Keep doing what you do!

July 2020 Doula Vee was everything I prayed for and wanted for my second pregnancy. I always wanted to try a doula from the beginning of my children bearing years but as life would have it I was not able to have a doula with my first pregnancy, so when I met doula Vee in the beginning of my second trimester I was extremely excited. I did not know all that doulas did but I knew going into my second pregnancy and wanting to be a VBAC momma I wanted some help and guidance with the birthing and post partum process. Doula Vee really helped to change how I looked and felt about my birthing experience. Even through this time of living through a worldwide pandemic Doula Vee guidance helped me and my husband to implement the techniques and positions to help guide our new little one into this world. Also the post partum support that Doula Vee gave this momma was much needed and extremely life altering as I was able to ease into my new life as a mommy for a second time. Doula Vee has a very calming and soothing presence that every new mommy,2nd time, or even a multi child mommy would want on their team to assist them in their pregnancy or post partum care.

Nowadays, natural childbirth in a clinical environment requires to be very strong and fiercely advocate for yourself. Giving birth in 2020 was especially nerve wrecking. I was particularly blessed for having met Vee, who was my childbirth educator and virtual borth doula. During the whole process, Vee reassured me that my needs where valid. She helped me see ways to maneuver the insecurity of the year of covid 19. 7/22/2022 Vee is experienced. She helped me remember my own strength. With her in the picture (although she did not physically assist my delivery), I could make my wish for an unmedicated, natural birth a reality. Thank you so much for your emotional guidance and for being my rock Vee. Also, I really appreciate that Vee supports small black owned female entrepreneurs. Way to go.”

Velesha was my doula during the pandemic for a large part of 2020 and part of 2021. Although we had video appointments and were unable to meet in person, I always felt I was well supported, well educated, and well prepared during my birthing journey. Although this was my last child, there was so much I learned from working with Velesha (and so many things I wish I had known before). In addition, this was a child had after a loss and because of that there saw a lot of anxiety I had about being pregnant again and giving birth. Doula Vee went above and beyond to answer questions, address fears and supported me pre and post birth. She is simply the best.

— Karen E.

Vee was our birth doula for our first-born and was a huge support throughout our entire journey from pregnancy to labor and postpartum. She went above and beyond by coming to our house on multiple occasions to walk us through our birth plan and provided exercises that helped us feel prepared before going to the hospital. When we were in active labor for several days, she also coached us through our options to reduce potential interventions, ultimately reaching our goal of having a safe and healthy labor for our daughter. In addition to her coaching and advocacy at the hospital, Vee also specializes in belly binding and offered to help us with a few overnight shifts over the holidays to make sure we could rest and reset. Vee has been amazing to work and we highly recommend working with her as a birth doula, belly binding expert and postpartum support.

Thank you so much for being out coach and guiding us through our first labor! We couldn't have done it without your support and really appreciate you jumping in during the holiday break to help us get our bearings with baby Chloe! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
