Meet the Doulas

Many new mothers rely on friends and family for emotional support during childbirth, but others might need a more experienced professional as their helping hand. For those situations, you might want to work with a doula in Washington, DC.
At Momease, we work to make childbirth magical and help you understand the process. Whether it’s your first pregnancy or not, a steady source of advice, comfort, and connection can make all the difference in your experience.
