Jennifer, Certified Postpartum Doula and Breastfeeding Specialist

From a young age, I have always adored babies. After becoming a mother myself and acting as the "unofficial" postpartum doula for my relatives when they had their babies, I realized how underserved and neglected new parents are in our country - families often live far away, grandparents are still working - so there is little help most families can depend on when they come home from the hospital and unsure of themselves.

 

I love that I am able to fill that gap, providing practical, emotional, non-judgmental support for the entire family. My main goal is to be there for you every step of the way in your postpartum journey and help you gain confidence in your new role, whether as a first time parent or bringing a new addition to your family.

Jennifer supports new families anywhere in Washingon DC, Bethesda, College Park, Gaithersburg, Potomac, Rockville, Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, and McLean.
