Nia Speight Northern Virginia Doula
Traditional support for families during life's transitions.
Peace, I’m Nia (nee-ah)
Doula, Mama, all the things…
I've worked nine years within the family support profession and have spent a meaningful amount of time evolving as a caregiver. My career began as a nanny, maturing into roles as a funeral home and cemetery counselor, which both allowed me to support families in beautiful and often challenging times.
As a doula my support is rooted in mindfulness, education, and tradition. I understand birth and postpartum to be a spiritual and biological process. After giving birth to my daughter in 2022, it seemed to me I was given the chance to integrate knowledge of motherhood with embodiment. I was very confident in my birthing-body, and I believe all mothers deserve that.
Virginia has been my home since birth. I'm the firstborn and eldest to three brothers and one sister. On other days, I'm a self-proclaimed gourmet and brewing a chamomile tea before bedtime. I love family. I love taking care of the Earth. I love celebrating life.
