About DMV Birth Alliance

Rooted in care.
Built on experience.
Driven by purpose.

DMV Birth Alliance is a trusted collective of perinatal professionals serving families across Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. With decades of combined experience, our certified doulas, educators, and advocates are united by one mission: to ensure that every birth experience is safe,
supported, and affirming, no matter your path to parenthood.

Founded by a doula and maternal health advocate, DMV Birth Alliance has supported hundreds of families across the region offering not just care, but connection, dignity, and strength during some of life’s most important moments.

From the delivery room to the days, weeks, and months that follow, we walk alongside families with skill, intention, and deep care.

We believe better birth outcomes start with trust.
That’s why our team is trained, credentialed, and dedicated to meeting families where they are, with services that reflect real needs, real stories, and real community.

Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, DMV Birth Alliance offers more than support, we offer advocacy, education, and a circle of care that carries you forward.

Each of our doulas is fully certified, trauma-informed, and dedicated to meeting you where you are—with warmth, wisdom, and respect.
