I am a wife, mom (of 10), grandmother (to 21), great-grandmother (to 1) and have been a childcare provider to most of those grandchildren. I provide options counseling to women with unplanned pregnancies, and volunteer in our church's nursery. I have considerable experience caring for the young, meal planning, housework, event planning, "counseling" and educating pregnant women, time management and organization. I love serving our community's women, babies and families.
I live with my husband of 20+ years! We have lived in Southern Maryland for more than 30 years surrounded by water, the small-town feel, and the close proximity to both DC and Baltimore.
My business is called "On the Nest Doula Services", and I believe that childbirth is a normal, healthy, biological process and that every woman deserves the right to choose how, when, and where she gives birth. I support evidence-based practices and strive to provide individualized care that meets the unique needs and preferences of each family.
