***FOR INQUIRIES EMAIL***: Hello@mothersisterfriend.org Site:https://www.MotherSisterFriend.org When Brittany became a mom at 19, she recalls feeling afraid, unprepared, and disconnected from herself. She lacked a strong support system, and self-advocacy was a foreign concept to her. All she knew was to follow doctors' orders. So, she suffered through her first HG pregnancy without treatment, showed up at the hospital at the first sign of contractions, and birthed her baby via cesarean for reasons unknown. When she became pregnant with her second child a few years later, she was more intentional in finding a care team to support her in achieving her birth goals. She hired doula-midwives from whom she received all of her prenatal care. Despite Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) and other stressors negatively impacting that pregnancy as well, having an attentive and supportive care team that centered her needs and respected her bodily autonomy influenced a more positive and empowering experience. Inspired by her journey, Brittany felt compelled to pay it forward. She believes everyone deserves a safe, informed and empowering birthing experience. Recognizing the implications of birthing while Black in America, she actively challenges coercive healthcare practices and, alongside many dedicated birth workers, strives to improve the state of Black maternal and infant healthcare.

My goal is to empower parents, guiding them through the labyrinth of postpartum with unwavering support, so they can embrace this sacred experience with confidence and tranquility.

"It was all a dream!" Literally! My journey to doula-hood started with a dream from the Lord of me giving birth on my mom's kitchen floor while she knelt behind me to support and assist me through it all. I didn't fully understand it now, but now I am watching that birthing dream come to fruition right before my eyes and the profound message is becoming more and more clearer.

Hi! My name is Liv and I am a nonbinary doula in the baltimore county area! I am trained as a full spectrum doula- offering birth, postpartum, fertility, and abortion support doula services. I come from a mental health background in which I received counseling training and gained experience with emotional and therapeutic support. My mental health experience has also prepared me for supporting clients with trauma histories. I can offer services on a sliding scale.

Hey, I'm Chey and I’d love to be your doula! Born in Southern VA and raised all over the DMV area, I have always wanted to help people. Having experience in the medical field, I ultimately would love to become a Midwife and start a collective with like minded individuals who believe in providing a village and “Mothering the Mother”. I am a certified labor doula through MaternityWise Institute and currently working on certifying with them for Postpartum, Lactation, CBE, and more. I am constantly researching and willing to broaden my knowledge to be the best I can for my families. I am a mother of four boys, 3 of which had NICU time (2 micro preemies and 1 term). I have experience with children with special needs (oxygen, g-tube, reflux, developmental delays, and more). I am very compassionate and empathetic to the needs of my clients. In my free time I enjoy listening to music (all types!), taking photos, and researching topics in relation to maternal and infant health

In addition to my pursuit of becoming a medical doctor, I also enjoy spending time with children and investing into the next generation. Growing up I spent a lot of time watching young children; I don't recall a time when I wasn't holding someone's baby. As an adult, I enjoy spening time with my nieces, nephews, and godchildren. My childcare experiences includes my pediatric rotation, community sevice, and paid employment via care.com, sittercity.com and nannylane.com. My pediatric rotation gave me the medical background for caring for children from first days of life to adolescence. Additionally, I have spent the last 3 years nannying and volunteering with infants and toddlers within the foster care system. If I can be of service, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I look forward to working with you and your family!

Hey there, I’m Ni’Sheerer! I’m the kind of doula who believes birth isn’t just about bringing a baby into the world—it’s about honoring the whole journey, from the first little flutter to those sweet (and sometimes sleepy) postpartum snuggles. My philosophy is simple: every family deserves support that’s both knowledgeable and heart-centered. I combine evidence-based care with a sprinkle of intuition, a lot of listening, and the belief that your birth story should feel empowering, not overwhelming. I’m here to be your cheerleader, your extra set of hands, and sometimes even your snack-fetching, water-refilling, “you’ve got this” voice when things get real. I see birth as a partnership—your body, your baby, your choices—my role is to support and protect that space. Whether it’s helping you find your breath during labor, keeping you company in those quiet postpartum hours, or making sure you get that much-needed nap, I’m all about creating an environment where you feel safe, heard, and cared for. Birth is powerful, parenting is brave, and I’m honored to walk beside you in it all.
