Kris, Metro DC Postpartum Doula

Kris, Full Spectrum Doula

I'm Kris (she/they) - a birth and postpartum doula, working since 2019. In my years of experience, I have worked with single parents, LGBTQ families, families with multiples as well as traditional family structures. My general approach to postpartum care ensures that babies are safe while also implementing habits and routines that are realistic for the adults caring for them.

In their other work endeavors, I am very passionate about reproductive sexual health education for all ages and reproductive justice.

Postpartum Doula Service Area:

Kris supports new families in Washington DC (Capitol Hill, Dupont Circle,  Petworth, Georgetown, NE & SE), College Park, Hyattsville MD, Takoma Park, Upper Marlboro, Alexandria, Arlington, and the majority of Prince George County
