Portia Harris, Birth Doula & Postpartum Doula

Hi, my name is Portia Harris and grew up in Monterey Bay, California. My journey as a Doula developed in 2018 after the unexpected turn of events with my son’s birth. I did not feel supported or was even slightly prepared for a great birth experience. Since that time, I knew if it happened to me, it was likely to happen to another mom and that’s how I decided to become a doula. Since then I  obtained my certifications to support mothers and their families in any phase of pregnancy. My certifications and training include birth and postpartum, childbirth education, lactation counseling, and newborn care. Today I serve the DMV and Baltimore area where I also have met many great friends, people, and opportunities. One day I hope to become an IBCLC, Nurse, or midwife. I am excited to support you and your family next and continue to fill the gap of families who have experienced a lack of support, education, and empowerment.
