Meet Nikita!
CEO/Director, Student Midwife, Certified OB Surgical Technologist, Certified Birth Doula, Doula Trainer, Patient Care Technician, Labor Coach
Hi, my name is Nikita Johnson and I am an Apprentice Midwife, Labor and Delivery Surgical Technologist, Patient Care Technician, and Certified Nursing Assistant with doula support skills. I've been working in the field of Maternal-Infant Health since 2014. In 2019, I formed "DMV Birth Doulas, LLC" to be an expert resource within the community, while addressing the disparities birthing people face in hospitals. We are a group of doulas and midwifery students with Labor and Delivery skillsets and the ability to provide individuals and couples adequate knowledge and support based upon birth preference. My team works in a variety of settings including hospitals, birth centers, and private homes. We specialize in unmedicated births and have experience supporting VBACs, medicated births, cesareans, inductions, and high-risk pregnancies. We serve up to 100 miles from our home office in Owings Mills, Maryland.

My Experience
My Approach & Values
My skill set is unique and vigorous. I incorporate my labor and delivery medical background into doula work to ensure families understand the holistic and medical options related to birth. My goal is to ensure birthing people are informed, educated, and feel confident to advocate for themselves throughout prenatal care, labor/birth, and postpartum period.

Testimonials
I'm so grateful to have found Nikita and Jamie. Nikita's evidence based research and information completely provided me with all that I needed to feel informed but most importantly confident in my doctor's appointments. Jamie was my backup and she was just as awesome as Nikita. Jamie came to our rescue during a time a physician was trying to force unnecessary medical care on us and we will forever be grateful for Jamie's support and advice which gave us more trust and confidence in having a doula.
