The Support You Deserve
As your Doula, I will work by your side as you prepare to give birth; present in each moment with a spirit of love and compassion. Whether you are interested in a birthing class, or would like to work with me as your Doula, I’ll provide the emotional, educational and physical support you need not only during labor, but throughout your pregnancy and postpartum as well.
NEW DAWN DOULA SERVICES
The experience of pregnancy and birth has evolved over the years, especially in today’s modern era. I believe that the need for caring, sensitive and knowledgeable support during this time is becoming more and more apparent. I see every pregnancy and birth as a miracle and as a Certified Doula and Lactation Consultant, I feel honored to be able to contribute my expertise to women and families in the Maryland, District of Columbia, and Virginia area.
ABOUT ME
I'm married with three adult children and love witnessing a new person come into the world and a family grow by one, lol, sometimes more. As a teen mom, I became very interested in what other women did during labor after the birth of my son. While standing in and holding space for my friends as they gave birth, I realized this was one of my gifts. As a well-renowned Doula, I am privileged to help women and their partners make these experiences as positive and healthy as possible. I am proud to have received my certification and offer support to women and families across the DMV area.
