BE FULLY SUPPORTED

Entering motherhood is a transformational journey. Whether this is your first or your fifth baby, how you are treated during your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey matters. Birth deeply matters. A positive birth is not one where you get “everything you wanted and planned for.” A positive birth is about feeling supported, empowered, and informed every step of the way.

CLIENT LOVE

“I truly cannot put into words how much we appreciated having Rose in the delivery room with us. This was by far the best investment we made heading into parenthood, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. I had a complicated delivery, and Rose stayed with me throughout the entire experience, supporting both me and my husband every step of the way. She helped us make informed, confident decisions and supported me physically and mentally in ways I can’t imagine going without.”

- Emily Stose

HEAR FROM OUR PAST CLIENTS…

  • 01 / Jess Williams

    Ashley Haas was the doula present for my son’s birth and was incredible. I had planned on a unmedicated natural birth and attempted to do so even after needing to be induced. She guided me through all different breathing and positioning techniques to work through an unmedicated labor for over 30hrs and when I ended up needing an epidural she had recommendations for laboring down and pushing when the time came to make sure my birthing experience was as close to my birth plan as possible. She helped us to understand our options and decisions throughout labor and helped us advocate for what we wanted.

  • 02/ Elizabeth Haymore

    I do not have enough kind words to say about Life Spark (now SoulSpark Doulas)!! I could not imagine my pregnancy, birth, and post partum without them. Rebecca provided such a calm and confident presence during our delivery and was an incredible support for me post partum as well. As a first time mom, there is so much unknown and having someone with so much wisdom and experience was invaluable and provided so much peace of mind.

  • 03/ Raquel Smith

    I ended up working directly with Rose who is a godsend. Her demeanor is soft and reassuring however, when staff tried to administer an epidural as soon as I was admitted (something we did not want) Rose morphed into one fierce doula! If it weren't for Rose and the team, my partner and I would have gone into the delivery with little to no idea of what to expect.
    Their dedication to their craft and clients (unsure if that's the right term) is nothing short of impressive.

FAQs

  • A birth doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, and birth. As DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia doulas, we support you by helping you prepare for birth, offering comfort measures during labor, and providing steady reassurance so you feel confident, informed, and deeply supported throughout your experience.

  • Midwives and OBs are medical providers who monitor the health and safety of you and your baby. They will make recommendations for your medical care and give medical advice. A doula does not provide medical care or perform clinical tasks. Instead, we focus entirely on you—your physical comfort, your childbirth questions, and your emotional well-being. As local DMV birth doula, our role is to support you alongside your medical team, helping you feel heard, empowered, and respected in every setting.

  • Many families begin searching for a doula in the second trimester, though some reach out earlier. Because availability can be limited, especially in the DC/MD/VA area, we recommend reaching out as soon as you feel drawn to doula support. Early connection allows us time to build trust, prepare thoughtfully, and enter your birth feeling aligned and supported. However, it is never too late! We also have clients hire us days before their due date.

  • Yes. We support births in DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia hospitals, birth centers, and home settings. Wherever you plan to give birth, our role is to support your informed choices, offer calm and grounded presence, and walk alongside you as your birth unfolds.

  • Absolutely. We support all birth, including medicated births, inductions, and planned or unplanned cesareans. Our team specializes in physiologic and unmedicated birth. However, as DMV-area doulas, our goal is to help you feel supported, respected, and emotionally held—no matter how your birth journey looks.

  • Working together is intentional, supportive, and deeply personal. We take time to truly know you—your hopes, your fears, and your vision for birth. Families often describe our support as calming, reassuring, and steadfast. If you’re looking for a DC, Maryland, or Northern Virginia doula who honors both intuition and evidence-based care, we would be honored to support you.
