Favorite quote
"...to be humble in success, and without bitterness in defeat."
-Shirley Kreason Strout
​
Preparedness is important,
especially when things are out of our control.
As we all know, life can throw us unexpected challenges at any time. One of the most unavoidable challenges doulas face is the unpredictable nature of birth. As a professional and experienced birth worker, I have a plan in place to make sure you have support when you need it. Although backup doula support is almost never needed, knowing there is a plan in place should we need to utilize a backup doula helps us all feel at ease. I team up with likeminded doulas in the DMV area to provide familiar and genuine support even in unexpected situations including sickness, family emergency, or other unexpected situations.

Meet the doulas I team up with to ensure your experience is always streamlined.
Dina Piccioni
Birth Doula / Postpartum Doula / Certified Lactation Consultant / HypnoBabies Trained
Calming. Instinctual. Trustworthy. Loving.
Dina's goal is to provide women with strong support before, during, and after labor so that each of her clients may remember their birth story through beautiful memories. Her call to become a doula was based on her own experiences without a birth coach, as well as the birth of her granddaughter. When each of her three children were born she felt things didn't go the way she had hoped. Her first child was born via c-section due to a cascade of interventions and a nervous wreck for a husband. Whether your partner is hands-on or faint at the sight of blood, Dina is able to offer support to her clients and their partners. She is such a calming presence, and treats each client as if they were family.
