Sacred Nest
Doula Care
Birth and Postpartum Doula Services for Baltimore City and Baltimore, Carroll, Howard, and Harford Counties
Welcome! Congratulations on your upcoming journey. Please have a look around to decide if my services connect with what you and your growing family need.
About Me
My work is about helping you build a sacred family nest that is resourced and secure, full of abundance and joy. This means ensuring birthing people are honored, respected, and empowered throughout their experiences in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys. My previous career in hospital policy and patient experience gave me extensive knowledge of hospital systems and healthcare infrastructures, and I know how confusing and disempowering it can be to navigate these systems, even when you are determined to put yourself first. I know what a difference it can make to have an advocate, a guiding hand along the way.
I am grateful to provide my services as a full spectrum doula to any parents who want to be in their embodied power, confidence, and security in their birthing and postpartum journey. Choosing to bring a child into the world is a gift and I believe you have a right to experience that gift with your full autonomy at the forefront of every choice made during pregnancy, labor, and parenthood.
My highest priority is to offer my honest and educated service to the transformative experience of building your nest for you and your family.
What I Offer
My services as a birth doula are $2000, which includes 12 complimentary hours of postpartum services. As your doula, I am committed to provide with my whole heart...
