About me

Hello, I’m Deborah Galvao, a dedicated and experienced birth and postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, and perinatal educator based in the DMV area. Over the past two years, I’ve had the honor of supporting families through one of life’s most transformative journeys. My philosophy is rooted in creating a calm, informed, and nurturing environment for parents and their newborns. I believe every family deserves personalized care, whether it’s guiding them through childbirth, supporting recovery during the postpartum period, or offering education to build confidence in their parenting journey. My approach is inclusive, embracing all family structures, including LGBT families and those navigating surrogacy or IVF. I’m here to empower you with evidence-based resources, hands-on care, and a deep commitment to your well-being—helping you transition into parenthood with confidence and ease.

Deborah was amazing during my birth. She brought such a calm and reassuring energy to the room, which made a huge difference for me. She was there every step of the way, offering support, encouragement, and guidance when I needed it most. It felt like she instinctively knew what I needed, whether it was a comforting word, a gentle touch, or just being there quietly. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to have by my side during such an intense and beautiful experience. I’m so grateful for her care and support.
