About Our Collective Practice
History and founding principle
Established in 2020, the Madam Doula Collective blends a solo doula's individualized care and attention with an agency's expanded services and safety net. Our mission is to continue supporting parents across the DMV with our growing experience, expertise, and care while building a supportive team culture. As caretakers, we focus so much on the people we care for that we often forget about ourselves, leading to burnout. So at Madam Doula, we actively combat caretaker burnout with fair wages, mentorship opportunities, support groups, and more. This allows us to continue providing exceptional birth and postpartum care while ensuring the same standard of care as when we were a solo practice. Every single one of our team members is an outstanding professional, compassionate caretaker, and continuous learner ready to support you when you need it the most!
​
I am looking forward to hearing more about how we can support you! I am always happy to share about us and how we can make your birth and postpartum experience positive and empowering.

Our Partners & Resources
We know it takes a village to navigate pregnancy, birth, postpartum, motherhood, and fatherhood, so we constantly build our referral list and connections with other birth-adjacent professionals. This page was created as a complementary community resource for anyone who needs vetted resources added to "their village." As our roots in this work grow, so does this page!

Testimonials
What Our Client Say
"Katya was so helpful after the birth of my second child. She was so sweet and caring with my newborn and was always ready to research and offer advice. I am so thankful that I found her-- I don't know how else we would have survived the first 6 weeks of adjusting to our new family dynamic!"
Leah from Washington, D.C.
"Mary was a lifesaver during our labor and delivery. She was incredibly supportive of our birth plan and helped to keep a positive perspective when that plan needed to change. Not only was she a major support for me, but her presence was very beneficial to my husband as well. I would highly recommend her and her services."
"I had a home birth recently and had the pleasure of having Katya as my doula! She was such a lovely support to have, and followed through with our birth intension with understanding and kindness - would definitely recommend her if you are in the Northern Virginia/Washington, DC area."
