I’ve favored and cultivated a holistic caregiving lifestyle and supported friends and family members in their pregnancy, birth, and rearing for as long as I can remember.

After training with the National Black Doula Association, I became a practicing doula in 2023. I offer birthing people and families a balance of evidence-based resources and holistic tools to help cope with everyday stress and ease the changes that come with pregnancy.

I bring knowledge and experience in pediatric care and early childhood development from working at Children’s National Hospital, supporting neuroscience. I am from Milwaukee and earned a Bachelor’s in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

When not with clients, I research and write about parenting, maternal health, and early childhood education. I live in NW DC and enjoy live music, comedy, and travel when possible!

As your doula, I will provide skilled communication, calm, nurturing physical and emotional support, and holistic knowledge garnered through life experience and continued education.

My why is deeply personal, and I bring a passion for empowered parenting experiences to each client I serve.

If you’d like to learn more, please schedule a call. I hope to support you on your sacred, creative journey and look forward to connecting soon.

With gratitude,

Genesha Michelle
