WEIH (SHE/HER)
I am Weih, a Liberian American doula rooted in Berlin, where I’ve spent nearly five years walking alongside families on their journey to parenthood. With a B.S. in Chemistry, my first love was the quiet precision of research, but my soul found its calling elsewhere—in the pulse of community, in the sacred rhythm of birth.
I come from a family as vast and vibrant as a river delta, where children are the heart of every current, and caregiving is second nature. My work weaves science with intuition, offering birth support, postpartum care, and the gentle presence of overnight guidance. Guiding Rivers care that flows through knowledge, physical support like myofascial release therapy, and deep emotional presence.
Rooted in intentional, intersectional community support, Guiding River is dedicated to economic, racial, and reproductive justice, standing beside families of all incomes through every outcome of pregnancy.
Guiding River is more than a name—it is a promise. Here, I create space for strength and surrender, where families feel seen, held, and empowered. Whether in the stillness of midnight or the rush of first cries, I walk with you, helping life flow into being
WHY GUIDING RIVER?
In a city pulsating with cultural vibrancy, my presence as a Black doula transcends boundaries of language and tradition.
I understand the nuances of cultural practices, the unspoken rhythms of diasporic journeys, and the significance of representation in the birthing space.

By prioritizing high-quality, natural care and embracing diversity, we strive to positively impact the lives of our clients and contribute to a more equitable and nurturing birthing culture.
We cultivate a welcoming and inclusive environment where every client feels respected, valued, and understood.
We tailor our communication to each client’s unique needs, preferences, and circumstances, fostering a sense of intimacy and trust.
Doulas Make a Difference
Guidance is the heart of doula care—a steady hand offering knowledge, practical support, and emotional presence. It’s a return to the ancient tradition of one-on-one care, where someone walks beside you through pregnancy, labor, birth, and the tender postpartum moments.
Doula care is more than support; it’s a reminder that you are never alone in this sacred journey.
POSTPARTUM CARE
Having support during the postpartum period, the time after you have your baby, also has many benefits, including:
- Better postpartum adjustment
- Less postpartum depression
- Lower incidence of abuse
*as recorded in the DONA International Position Paper: The Postpartum Doula’s Role in Maternity Care
Postpartum doula support can
take on a variety of forms from helping with
day-to-day tasks and overnights so that life
doesn’t get overwhelming and you can
focus on self-care and rest.
