Hi, I’m Beka — Certified Postpartum Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Newborn Care Specialist- supporting new parents with warmth, compassion, and humility.
After earning a B.S. in Health Science-Commuinty Health Education, I served as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Ethiopia.
I'm based in Washington D.C., and I regularly travel to support families in other cities.
Over the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting 85 families during the postpartum period. My
