About me

Nikita Johnson is a 2nd Year Chief Midwife Apprentice at Althea Midwifery & Charm City Midwives. She has 6 years of hospital based labor & delivery experience as a Certified Obstetrics Surgical Technologist and 5 years as top practicing doula in the DMV. Nikita is a prominent birth doula in the Baltimore community. She is a Doula Trainer & Mentor for The Black Doula Training, Writer for Healthy Mom & Baby Magazine Powered by the Nurses of AWHONN, & Board Advisor for Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Individuals and couples working with Nikita benefit from her multi-skilled background and experience. She has been attending births since 2014 and has attended over 350+ births. My skill set is unique and vigorous. I do not sell you a dream or an experience. I incorporate my OBGYN medical background into doula support to ensure families understand the holistic and medical options related to fertility, birth and beyond. My goal is to ensure birthing people are informed, educated, and feel confident to advocate for themselves throughout pre-conception, prenatal care, labor/birth, and postpartum period.

Nikita has been a delight to work with. She provided us with everything we needed to make informed decisions. She offered us a host of resources for doctors and other practitioners that were able to help us along the way. We’re very appreciative.
