Choosing a midwife is personal—and powerful. At Myrtle Tree Midwifery, we serve families across DC, Maryland, and Virginia with a focus on Black maternal health, holistic wellness, VBACs, water birth, preconception counseling, and traditional midwifery wisdom.

Whether you're planning your first baby or your fifth, you're not alone. You're supported. And you're seen. Hadassah the midwife.

As a Black midwife in the DMV, I see firsthand how important autonomy, dignity, and ancestral wisdom are in birth. Water birth lets us reclaim that. It’s not just about comfort—it’s about restoring power to the birthing person in a system that too often ignores our voices.

And yes, we bring the tub. (Unless you have a jacuzzi… in which case, I’m already jealous.)
