Meet Allie

I’m Allie Alvarado (she/her/ella), a Latina birth & loss doula, based in Northern Virginia/DC metro area.

I provide a steady presence for the many ways life and pregnancy unfold. As a doula, I offer support through birth, postpartum, and fertility, as well as dignified care for all forms of womb loss. My work is about showing up for the significant transitions that change us—offering non-judgmental support for every situation, whether you are navigating a new beginning, a difficult ending, or a season in between.

Support may include labor support for pregnancy, in-person care during fertility treatment, bedside care during loss, or virtual one‑to‑one sessions. Together, we’ll tend to your unique situation in ways that feel true to you. Everyone is welcome here, wherever you are in the world. If you are experiencing any type of reproductive loss or grief, please reach out.

I also collaborate with care providers and doulas who wish to deepen their capacity to hold space for reproductive grief and loss within their own practice.

I’ve trained with:

  • Madriella Doula Network - Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula

  • Bebo Mia - Fertility Specialist Training

  • Haven Bereavement Doulas - Bereavement Doula Training

  • Three Little Birds Perinatal - Pregnancy & Infant Loss Bedside Advocate

  • Dr. Alan Wolfelt’s Center for Loss & Life Transition
- Exploring the Spiritual Dimensions of Death, Grief, and Mourning Training, Grief Companioning Skills Training

  • Amy Wright Glenn’s Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath, and Death
- Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss, Pregnancy Loss Group Facilitator Training.

These programs embrace a heart-centered approach to life’s transitions.
