Programs
At Blossom Maternal Wellness, we center the voices and needs of Black mothers through every stage of the maternal journey. From pregnancy to postpartum and beyond, we provide culturally responsive care and access to critical services—including doula support, lactation consulting, and workforce training. Our programs are designed to affirm, empower, and uplift Black birthing people as they navigate motherhood, healing, and career development.
Doula & Perinatal Support
We provide free or low-cost doula care and perinatal education to ensure Black mothers and birthing people receive compassionate, culturally rooted support throughout their pregnancy and birth experience. Our trained doulas offer emotional, physical, and informational care before, during, and after childbirth.
Lactation Counseling & Postpartum Wellness
Our certified lactation counselors support breastfeeding mothers with personalized, judgment-free guidance. Whether you’re nursing, pumping, or exploring your feeding options, we’re here to help. We also connect families to postpartum mental health resources, healing circles, and wellness tools to ensure a safe and supported transition into motherhood.
Workforce Development & Apprenticeships
Our workforce programs help postpartum mothers and women re-entering the workforce build new skills, gain confidence, and access career pathways. Through training, mentorship, and partnerships—including with the Maryland Service Year Program—we provide paid apprenticeship opportunities and job readiness support tailored to the realities of motherhood.
Mommy Mental Health & Emotional Wellness
Our workforce programs help postpartum mothers and women re-entering the workforce build new skills, gain confidence, and access career pathways.

Community Events & Healing Spaces
We believe in the power of community.
