Margie, Metro DC Postpartum Doula

Margie, Certified Postpartum Doula, Certified Pregnancy Health Coach

Being a doula allows me to meld my experience as a therapist with my love of newborns. I have been a doula for approximately 15 years and learn something new from each client.

My special personal and professional interests include diverse, single and adoptive families. I bring a calm attitude to the family setting and tailor my work to each family's specific needs and preferences. In addition to my doula work, I make and sell truffles!

Postpartum Doula Service Area:

Margie supports new families anywhere in Washington DC (including Capitol Hill, Chevy Chase,  Dupont Circle, Georgetown & Petworth), Bethesda, Takoma Park, and Silver Spring.
