Yes. I am a Certified Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist, with more than 20 years of experience caring for newborns and families.

I serve Fairfax County and surrounding Northern Virginia areas, with daytime and overnight support available. 

A postpartum doula supports your family in the first weeks and months after birth by caring for your baby, helping around the house, and giving you time to rest and recover. It's for any family, first baby or not, and you don't need to be struggling to reach out.
