Client Testimonial:
“The absolute best decision I made for the birth of my first baby was finding Miranda as our doula! She eased my mind and helped educate us on what to expect during birth and postpartum. I felt prepared and confident with her help. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula experience and birth. Thank you Miranda at District Birth!”

Redefining the Art
of Parenthood
Hi, I’m Miranda, and I created District Birth to provide the kind of support every parent deserves during one of the most transformative moments of their life. As your birth doula, I’m here to guide, support, and advocate for you with expertise, warmth, and care.
Whether it’s your first birth or your fifth, you deserve a partner in this journey who will hold space for your needs, your choices, and your vision.

A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a mother before, during, and shortly after childbirth to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.
-
District Birth primarily serves Washington, DC and surrounding cities. We travel in-person for up to an hour outside of D.C. We also offer virtual services to clients nationwide.

Our offerings for support begin at just $200 for our planning sessions and can range upwards to $3,000 for our birth doula package.

To prepare for your first consultation, think about your birth preferences, any questions you have about our services, and what kind of support you’re looking for. This will help us tailor the session to your needs.

Absolutely! We encourage partners to attend our childbirth education classes to ensure both of you are prepared and supported throughout the birth journey.

It’s best to book your doula services as early as possible, ideally in your second trimester, to ensure availability and to begin building a supportive relationship throughout your pregnancy.
What to Expect When You Work with Me
Thoughtful Prenatal Preparation
We’ll meet for two in-depth prenatal sessions where we’ll explore your goals, navigate your options, and build a plan that feels right for you.
Together, we’ll craft a birth plan that reflects your values while leaving space for flexibility.
You’ll gain access to my carefully curated library of resources, ensuring you’re informed and empowered every step of the way.
Personalized Support Before Labor Begins
From the moment you choose me, I’m here for you—answering questions, offering guidance, and providing reassurance.
Starting at 38 weeks, I’m officially on-call, ready to join you as soon as labor begins.
Continuous Labor and Birth Presence
During labor, I provide up to 18 hours of continuous, hands-on support, ensuring you feel cared for, calm, and confident throughout. This includes physical comfort measures like massage and counterpressure, guidance on optimal positions, and emotional reassurance.
If labor extends beyond 18 hours, I will call in a trusted backup doula to ensure you remain fully supported without interruption.
I work closely with your birth team to advocate for your preferences, creating a harmonious environment for your birth experience.
For your partner, I offer tools and encouragement to help them feel involved and confident in supporting you.
Why Choose Me as Your Birth Doula?
When you choose District Birth, you’re not just getting a doula—you’re gaining a partner who’s deeply invested in your experience. My approach combines professional expertise with genuine care, helping you feel grounded, confident, and empowered throughout your journey.
