About Sunflowers Healing & Wellness Center
Built by a Doula, Led by Experience
This work began in a birth pool, in the quiet intensity of labor, with sunflower-yellow light pouring through a nearby window. Sunflowers was not built from a business plan. It was built from 20 years of being present when families needed more than the system was offering and knowing exactly how to fill that gap.
Every doula on our team was selected because they bring that same commitment. Not just training and credentials, though we require both. The standard we hold is whether a family will feel genuinely cared for and never alone in one of the most significant experiences of their lives.
That is what we have been doing since the beginning. It is the only thing we do.
Meet Lindsey
I didn't set out to build an agency. I started showing up for people because I had knowledge that made a real difference, and I couldn't not share it.
When I was pregnant with my second child, I realized that what I had been doing informally for years was a profession. I trained, I got certified, and in 2010 I opened Sunflowers because I wanted to build the kind of support I would have wanted for myself.
Fifteen years and thousands of families served later, what drives this work is exactly what drove it at the beginning: nobody should have to navigate pregnancy, birth, or the postpartum period alone. The system was not built to hold you. We were.

Our Leadership
Our leadership team brings together deep experience across birth education, clinical coordination, and postpartum support to ensure every family receives seamless, high-touch care.
Led by Lindsey, CEO, the team includes Evita, Family Education Coordinator; Tiana, Birth Services Coordinator; and Mikey, Postpartum Services Coordinator. Together, they oversee the full client experience from first inquiry through postpartum care, ensuring continuity, responsiveness, and thoughtful support at every step. And with over 30 doulas, childbirth educators, midwives, and massage therapists, our team is the largest Black-owned and operated doula agency in the DMV.
We are committed to holding a high standard of care while creating a calm, organized, and supportive experience for the families we serve.
Our Philosophy
We believe birth support must be rooted in both emotional care and real-world awareness of the systems families are giving birth within.
Many families today are rightfully thoughtful about safety, advocacy, and the quality of care they receive.
We support that by providing continuous, experienced guidance so you are never alone in asking questions, making decisions, or moving through labor and postpartum recovery.
all are welcome
