Lydia Penoyar

“My personal journey through pregnancy, labor, and motherhood inspired me to become a doula to offer support, education, and genuine care to birthing individuals and families.

I offer a positive and steady presence in helping to navigate this transformative season of life. I pull experience of providing advocacy and compassionate support from my time working alongside hospice patients, unhoused persons, and fostered youth. My goal is to create a trusting space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered.

I grew up in Annapolis and currently reside in Severna Park with my son, husband, and two spirited rescue pups. I enjoy spending time outdoors, running long distances, and dabbling in photography. In my spare time, I try my luck at baking sourdough bread.”
