About Us

We’re a team of doulas who love what we do.

We’ve been where you are: tired, excited, nervous, and trying to do it right. We know that real support means showing up, listening, and helping you feel capable and cared for.

Annapolis Area Doulas was built on the belief that families deserve steady, compassionate support through every step of the journey. We bring knowledge, experience, and humor because birth and parenthood are serious business, but they don’t have to be solemn.

We believe in teamwork with you, your partner, your provider, and each other.

We believe in showing up, staying calm, and making sure you always feel heard.

We believe that a little laughter and a good plan can make all the difference.

OUR OWNER

Annapolis Area Doulas is Owned and Operated by Carly Glover.  As a busy mom of five boys running a support group for local parents, her passion for birth and interest in assisting families in her community sparked a business venture and a passion that drives the entire agency.  Starting as a partnership under the name Destined Doulas, her high level of professionalism and busy client schedule birthed an agency model of amazing local doulas.

Known around the Annapolis area for their expert care, hospitals, OB’s and midwives constantly refer birthing families to Annapolis Area Doulas.  Carly’s goal is to foster a gentle yet strong network of support for every birthing family in the Annapolis Area.  Through this process she has hand picked and mentored the highest quality of doulas to add to the agency and prides herself on matching each client with the perfect doula for their birth.  Inclusivity and diversity means more than just photos on our website it is also who we are and reflected in the team we have.  It takes a village to raise a child, and a village as well to support a family along their journey through parenthood!  Our founder is proud and honored to stand by your side as your premier doula agency.
