Beyond Birthing Welcomes You

Supporting Women and Families

What is a Doula?

Think of a doula as your personal birth coach—part guide, part cheerleader, part advocate—helping you navigate labor with confidence and calm. Kind of like a really great wedding planner or personal trainer… but for birth.

Here’s what I do:

❊ Provide physical support with comfort techniques like massage, movement, and breathing

❊ Offer emotional encouragement and a steady, calming presence throughout labor

❊ Emotionally encourage you through every surge and celebrate your wins

❊ Empower you to ask the right questions and make decisions that match your birth goals

What I don’t do:

❊ Perform medical tasks or exams

❊ We can’t replace nurses, midwives, or doctors

❊ Offer medical advice or diagnoses

❊ Make decisions for you—because only you know what feels right for your body and baby

I'm here to walk with you, support you, and remind you that your voice matters every step of the way.Still curious? Reach out anytime—I’d love to chat about how I can support your journey!

Who should have a doula?

Every woman who would like a doula should have one!! I support how and where you want to birth your baby.

How does COVID-19 impact your services?

During this pandemic, we are in this together! Due to COVID-19 restrictions, some hospital and birth center policy may prevent in-person support. My goal remains to help you and your partner feel safe, supported, empowered and respected.

About Me

Hi, I’m Syreeta, a DONA certified birth doula serving families across Northern Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. for nearly four years. I’m also working toward my certification as a postpartum doula to continue supporting families beyond birth.

I’ve had the privilege of supporting women through natural, medicated, and cesarean births—each one unique, powerful, and personal.

I became a doula to help women feel confident using their voice and making choices that reflect the birth experience they want. Advocacy is a big part of my work, especially in healthcare settings where it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure of what to ask. Every woman deserves a birth that feels informed, safe, and dignified.

It’s truly a joy to walk alongside growing families, offering steady support, calm reassurance, and evidence-based care from pregnancy through postpartum.

My greatest joy is supporting families as they welcome their babies into the world in an informed, safe, and supported way. Whether it’s your first or fourth birth, I’m here to offer grounded guidance, a calm presence, and care that meets you where you are.
