Hello! I am a holistic RN, certified doula, and birth keeper. I am finishing midwifery school within the next year, and can provide childbirth and lactation education. I believe women deserve to have the birth they want and deserve. I will be your advocate, friend, resource, and supporter. I support free births to home births to birth centers to hospital births - wherever mama feels safe and comfortable will be where she will have the best birth experience possible. I can’t wait to help support you during this amazing time in your life!

HEY THERE TIRED MAMA, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH! Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Erin McCormick. After becoming a mommy of my handsome son, Quaid, I was just as uncertain as you probably are of how to get this little human to sleep through the night. I was exhausted from getting up at all hours of the night. To make matters worse, everyone kept telling me, “nap when the baby naps.” NAP? My baby wasn’t napping long enough for me to fall asleep. What were they talking about? After countless hours of research, reading MANY baby sleep books, and trial & error. We finally decided to work with a 1:1 sleep consultant to learn how to get the most out of the important everyday task of sleep. After learning healthy sleep habits, Quaid started sleeping through the night (11 to 12 hours uninterrupted) at five months old! He also started taking long naps during the day! I decided to become a certified pediatric sleep consultant so I could pay it forward and help other mamas do the same. Through teaching my child to sleep better, I not only gained a happy, energetic, fun, loving child, I also gained my husband back. We have “us” time again. I have the energy to do the things I love again. I have time to enjoy those things or just relax when my child takes a nap or is in bed at a reasonable time. You can do the same!

I am a certified DONA postpartum Doula and Certified Lactation Counselor, in practice for 8 years.

Welcome! My name is Gabrielle Palinkas, but you can call me Gabby! I am a birth doula ready to help families have the best birth experience possible! I support all births, whether you want to give birth at home with no medication or in a hospital with a planned c-section. I believe that your birth should be all about you! When I'm not helping families, I am a "fur-baby" mom of 3, one chocolate lab and 2 snuggly kitties. I love to read and crochet in my downtime. Baby blankets are one of my favorite things to make, and I just joined a group that makes special items for preemie babies in the NICU. I am a fully trained birth doula on my way to certification through DONA International! I completed all of my required education for certification in January 2024. I am very excited to be certified through DONA International, the leader in evidence-based doula training, certification, and continuing education. As a birth doula I am there to provide physical and emotional support to you throughout pregnancy and birth, as well as support your birthing partner to be as involved in your birth as they wish to be. I also provide evidence-based resources to prepare you to make informed decisions that are best for you and your growing family. One of my focuses is to keep expanding on my knowledge and services to better support my clients. I am very excited to learn more about pain management, postpartum support, and lactation support especially! I am in the works of being able to provide TENS unit therapy to my clients, education on the best essential oils for birth and how to use them, baby-wearing classes for all the different kinds of wraps and carriers, and so much more!

Haiii, my name is Fantasia Hernandez, and I am a new postpartum doula! At 25 years old, I have recently stepped into this role professionally, but in many ways, I have been doing this work for years. Growing up surrounded by women and families welcoming new babies into the world, I naturally found myself helping out, offering support, caring for newborns, and being a calm, steady presence during those early and tender weeks. I just did not realize there was a name for what I was doing. Becoming a postpartum doula feels like coming home. I have always been drawn to nurturing others, especially new mothers navigating the intensity, beauty, and vulnerability of the postpartum period. I believe every family deserves gentle, informed, and nonjudgmental support after birth, and I am honored to be a part of that journey. Whether it is holding the baby so a parent can rest, helping establish a feeding rhythm, or just being someone who listens, I am here to make the transition into parenthood a little softer.

The transition to motherhood is so rewarding, yet so challenging. It can be lonely & anxiety-provoking. Finding the right work/life balance as a mom can be particularly difficult. Together, we can work through these phases and help you feel competent & comfortable in your role as a mom! ​ I have a B.A. in Psychology from Loyola University in Maryland and an M.S.W in Clinical Social Work from University of Maryland School of Social Work. I have worked as a licensed clinician for over 13 years and I love what I do.

Life is filled with challenges you didn't plan for and therapy can provide the support you are needing. I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach and include Interpersonal Therapy.
