Hi, my name is Caroline and I am a certified labor, birth and postpartum doula, a Body Ready Method Professional and Body Ready Birth Teacher. It is my passion to support families during their journey of meeting their new baby, and to make them feel more secure and taken care of during this sacred time of pregnancy, birth and beyond. My hobbies include gardening, baking (especially sourdough bread), reading and homesteading. I enjoy practicing mindfulness, wearing cozy sweaters, and spending time with my family and friends. Fall is my favorite season, with its color changes and our family's apple and pumpkin picking adventures. I am a mountain girl, who was born and raised in Germany. I offer my services in both German and in English.
Caroline was incredible! We absolutely loved getting to know her and working with her during this pregnancy and birth. From her calm supportive presence to coaching me through a largely unmedicated labor (which I never could have done on my own!) to visiting us after birth and bringing incredible food to help get through the early post partum phase, her support made our birth experience so much more joyful . I will be recommending her to all pregnant friends in the future!

My journey into motherhood and the knowledge and empowerment gained through childbirth has led me to become a doula. I have a passion for helping women achieve a positive and satisfying childbirth experience.

Baltimore based birth and postpartum doula, committed to empowering mamas who’ve faced birth trauma by supporting them towards a healing and empowering birth experience. My focus is to help you find your voice and help guide you towards your dream experience.
We had a wonderful experience with Jenny as our night doula. She cared for our newborn daughter over the course of a month and a half. She was communicative, prompt, and immediately put us at ease with her warm and reassuring presence. Not only was she a help to us in caring for our daughter overnight, but she always made sure to check in with me and how I was doing postpartum, and was generally just lovely to chat with and get to know. Her professionalism, trustworthiness, and knowledge were evident from the start, and she handled everything with such care and attention. We felt completely supported, and can't recommend her highly enough!

I am Avivah Kupfer, and I love what I do! I am a warm, deeply nurturing licensed nurse with a compact multi-state license, postpartum doula, proud mother of five, and grandmother of fourteen. With over 25 years of nursing experience and CPR certified in both infant and adult care, I bring a unique combination of medical expertise and heartfelt support to the families I serve. I offer a holistic, family-centered approach that supports not only mom and baby, but also dad, siblings, and anyone else needing care during this beautiful and often challenging time. My services include assistance with breastfeeding, emotional support, sleep training, feeding, dressing changes, and light housekeeping. As a nurse with a strong background in pediatrics, I’m also able to provide medical care when needed—an added comfort to many of my clients. I am available for day and night shifts, 24-hour care, and have even traveled with families on vacation to care for their newborns. Althouth I reside in Baltimore, MD, I am willing to travel for 24hr. contracts. It would be my privilege to be part of your postpartum journey and beyond—happy references available upon request.
I had the absolute pleasure of having Avivah as my baby nurse after my C-section, and I truly don’t know how I would’ve managed without her. From the moment she arrived, she brought calm, care, and competence into our home. Not only did she care for my newborn with such gentleness and attention, but she also went above and beyond by helping with my older kids, preparing lunches for me, bathing the baby, and even folding laundry without ever being asked. She is incredibly capable, proactive, and thoughtful, always one step ahead of what I needed. Her support allowed me the time and space to rest and heal, knowing everything (and everyone) was in the best hands. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

So I can help the parents understand the importance in rest, nurturing , and emotional support during this special time in life.

Jessica is great! We worked with her as our night nurse for our newborn twins and it was one of the best decisions we made.

Once she recovered and returned to work we continued to use Jessica for as-needed support. She's always flexible and reliable and having her around has been a tremendous help. She loves our twins like their her own and I would recommend her to anyone else looking for care.

Each morning, she gave us a helpful recap of how our daughter slept and shared thoughtful, experience-based advice tailored to our baby’s habits. Her support gave us so much peace of mind (and much-needed rest!). Our only regret is not booking more nights with her in those early weeks!

I loved my experience with Alisha. From the start to the ending. Talking to her about the pregnancy use to bring me comfort. She gave me plenty of resources while pregnant and after I gave birth. During birth she was extra supportive. Even tho my birth plan did not go as plan she stuck by myself my whole c section and held my hand. 23 hours in labor she kept me calm bringing games and everything to keep my mind calm. I just overall appreciate her and if I ever had another baby I would want her as my doula again. 5 stars isn’t enough to rate her. She more like a million stars. Thank you so much for the experience and the comfort you bought through out the experience. And I appreciate you.

Hey mama! My name is Amity Handle, and I am a DONA Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula in Ocean City, MD. I have been serving pregnant and postpartum families for three years, and it has been the most magical experience ever! It is an absolute honor to witness the strength and love in the journey of birth and matrescence. Through education, preparation and support, I believe you can experience your own beautiful birth journey! I live in Ocean City with my husband, and together we enjoy surfing, acroyoga, and volunteering at the local animal shelter.
I cannot recommend Amity enough to those who are pregnant or looking for post partum care. Amity was with me for my fourth trimester (and beyond), and she was extremely helpful to both myself and my children. Although I was a second time mom, they were clearly things that I had forgotten, and Amity guided me (for example I had forgotten some things about breastfeeding). She was absolutely wonderful with my kids and it felt like she anticipated my needs before I even knew what I needed. I recommended her to a few of my friends and they also had nothing but wonderful things to say. She was an essential part of my fourth trimester and I only wish I knew her sooner. It was so helpful to have someone looking out for me when my husband and I were trying to navigate our growing family; it made me a better mother. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and reliable doula; Amity is your girl.

Hi, I'm Catherine! I live in Hyattsville with my husband, 2.5 YO son and puppy named Daisy. After graduating from the University of Maryland in 2014, I traveled around doing some mission work, met my husband while living in Maine and eventually we landed back in my hometown to start a family. I love spending time at the beach, going for walks outside, a little coffee with my cream, fuzzy socks, loud country music, driving with the windows down, bonfires, sweater weather, cooking and baking from scratch, salted caramel, mom groups and Gilmore Girls. I believe that birth is meant to work, and that all women deserve support, encouragement and respect while they are birthing their beautiful baby! Let me walk with you on this journey towards motherhood however that looks for you. I am happy to support you with in-person or virtual doula services. I am trained in Hypnobirthing and Lamaze techniques, and currently working towards certification with Madriella Birth Doula Certification. I am excited to meet you and support you on this journey - reach out to me today so we can chat about your hopes and dreams for this birth! :)
Catherine was an amazing doula! I was particular about only wanting a support person who was confident in their knowledge and strengths to see if we’d be a good fit, but also warm and fully present during labor and delivery - all of which she did excellently! She respected my decisions throughout the birthing process and made sure to fully understand my preferences and mindset prior to labor. I highly recommend!
