I am deeply honored to be a part of your birth team. I pray that we are able to help you bring your baby forth in peace, in love, and in quiet support.

Salaams to all. My name is Danyella, and I am one of PB’s birth assistants. I have had six - natural deliveries of my own, and I have been a labor and delivery nurse for 10 years. I am honored to be part of your birthing experience, and it is so important to me, for that experience to be one that you will look back on later with awe and self-appreciation.

My friends and loved ones call me Khy, nice to meet you. I am a FNP, who has a love for working with women and children. I am a Baltimore native, with 3 beautiful, crazy kids of my own. I look forward to being one of the first people to welcome your baby into this world with their newborn assessments.

Hello my name is Keyawna, but you can call me Kee. I was born in raised in the heart of Baltimore, Md, where I reside with my husband and our five children. I have always had the passion for pregnant woman, birth and babies. My journey started in my teenager years, supporting my family and friends at birth. In 2019 I became a doula and birth assistant. In January 2021 I felt the call to become a midwife, and I started my midwifery journey at Southwest Wisconsin Technical College.

My goal at Peaceful Beginnings is that all my clients feel safe, loved and supported during their prenatal and postpartum journey. Being a student midwife has shown me how to work collaboratively with families in making all decisions, keeping them informed and involved in every step. I understand that informed decision-making is paramount in midwifery care. My hope is to be the change I want to see in my community, which is lower the infant/ maternal mortality and morbidity rate in Baltimore and surrounding counties. I am a trained doula and birth assistant, as well as a placenta encapsulation specialist. Can’t wait to meet you!
