Our Approach
You don’t have to be a superhero. You’re strong enough. You already have the tools, no matter the type of birth you have. Whether you’re psyched for birth or completely freaked out, we will stand beside you.
Birth is a period when you may feel both resolute and vulnerable. Imagine having someone with you by your side continuously, who has not only been there herself, but has walked alongside many other families before you. Consider the advantage of having a doula who is versed in the signs of labor, can normalize what you are experiencing, is knowledgable about obstetrical language and options, and is capable of supporting you and your partner at home, in the car and at your birth location.
Know that we can help you determine when to go to the hospital or birth center, how to establish breastfeeding, and how to transition into a postpartum routine as a new family. We will be available to you for questions, large and small. We will champion your strength and hear your uncertainty. Choose to birth with a doula who respects your choices, understands your fears, and has the resources and perspective to respond to your needs.
We are a partnership of two experienced doulas serving Baltimore, Towson, Bel Air and surrounding areas who share the professional vision that the presence of a doula can change the course of your birth, that support can be provided with cultural sensitivity, and that your strength and concerns are to be honored.
Our motto is simple: Your birth. Our support.
You’ll do amazing things.
We’ll be right behind you.

Placenta Encapsulation & Infusion
Everything that your baby requires before birth is produced by or travels through your placenta. It is a bountiful reserve of nutrients and hormones that connects you to your child. After you birth your baby, you can nourish your own body from the same rich supply.
Where We Go
Our office is located at 2603 North Charles Street in Baltimore. We support births throughout Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Harford County. Hospitals we frequent include St. Joseph’s Medical Center, Sinai Hospital, Johns Hopkins Medical Center, GBMC, St. Agnes Hospital, University of Maryland Medical Center, Maryland General Hospital, Baltimore-Washington Medical Center, Mercy Medical Center, Upper Chesapeake Medical Center and more.
Who We Are
We are a partnership of two individual birth workers with a shared professional vision. Your care is our professional priority. As doulas, we are honored to serve families throughout the childbearing years. Making informed decisions regarding the birth of your baby are the first steps in a lifelong parenting journey. We are guided by your wishes for a safe, compassionate entry for your baby.
It is our intention to help your family grow in cooperation with your care provider, in the interest of optimal physical and emotional health for mother and baby. As doulas, we believe that a woman can successfully cope with labor in a variety of ways. We can offer you information about alternative modalities and approaches which may complement the scope of care that you desire for your birth. We believe that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes through which, when supported by provider, family and community, a mother can realize her strength and a family can grow.
