Nia DC Postpartum Doula

Nia, Postpartum Doula

The gift of caretaking is a huge part of my journey; as the firstborn for both parents and eldest sister to 4 amazing kids, I was made to serve family. For me, being of service means to protect, share, appreciate, and commit to your role to bring balance within your community.

I’m a Postpartum Doula in training through DONA International, with over 8 years of experience as an in-home caregiver for newborn, toddler, and special needs families. I provide personalized care to accommodate the needs of every family. I offer practical support (ex. errand running) and emotional support (ex. somatic exercise tips) to encourage well-being within the household.

I also provide referrals to postpartum and family support resources for new parents, experienced parents, and parents who have experienced a loss.

Postpartum Doula Service Area:

Nia supports new families in Dupont Circle, Georgetown, Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Manassas, McLean, Reston, Springfield, and Woodbridge.
