My newborn care philosophy focuses on delivering comprehensive and compassionate support to both newborns and parents. My primary aim is to foster a nurturing environment where families feel empowered to excel in their new roles. Ultimately, my approach provides personalized, educational, and non-judgmental guidance, emphasizing safety, emotional stability, and collaborative relationships.

Erica was an absolute lifesaver during the first six weeks of both of my children's births. As a newborn care specialist, she didn’t just help with the day-to-day care of the babies; she also educated me as a new mother, easing my anxieties in those overwhelming early days. She taught me everything from proper swaddling techniques to understanding my babies’ feeding cues and sleep patterns, all while being incredibly patient and reassuring. What stood out most was her ability to tune into my needs as a new mom. She recognized when I needed rest, emotional support, or just a little confidence boost. Erica’s approach was gentle and non-judgmental, creating a safe space for me to ask questions and learn at my own pace. Her presence helped me feel empowered, and her guidance has continued to influence the way I care for my children. I truly can’t recommend Erica enough for any new parent. Erica quickly became more than just a newborn care specialist; she is now considered family. Her warmth, expertise, and unwavering support made those early weeks so much easier, and we couldn't imagine those moments without her. If my husband and I were to have more children, we would undoubtedly want Erica's help again. She brought so much peace of mind to our lives, and her influence continues to guide how we parent today.

Hi there! I’m Ashley- a Certified Birth Doula through A Woman Who Serves, a certified Childbirth Educator, Placenta Encapsulator, and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist.

My goal is to support a family in whatever way they feel is most important- through education, hands-on support, emotional support, and encouragement. I would love the chance to speak with you to see how I could best serve you during this special time!

I’m a Postpartum Doula in Montgomery County. Maryland offering holistic-minded postpartum support that draws inspiration from ancient postpartum care traditions and the slow living movement. Native to Puerto Rico, my interest in birth and postpartum care was fully realized after seeing my 17th sibling born at home with a beautiful local midwife. She apprenticed and ignited my passion for birth work as an 11 year old. Decades later, it is my joy and privilege to walk alongside mothers during this sacred time.

Recent review

Dr. Veronica is attentive, thorough, and very knowledgeable. I began seeing her because I was experiencing pelvic floor issues after giving birth and felt they were getting worse. She was very thorough in her initial assessment, took her time to get to the root of my issue and devised a personalized plan for me. She is easy to work with and made me feel comfortable during all our sessions. She explains everything very clearly and has given me the tools I need to be able to take care of myself. I feel more like myself again thanks to her. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for pelvic floor therapy.

I am a certified Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist, certified by a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist to heal your core & pelvic floor (Diastasis Recti, prolapse, lower back pain, hip pain, pelvic pain). As a mother who has personally experienced a traumatic delivery with severe postpartum complications that required surgery and extensive rehab, I understand what it’s like to slowly heal after baby. My goal is to make women feel whole again with movement and feel heard. Providers can sometimes make you feel unseen, like you are "over reacting", or ignored. I provide training during pregnancy to relieve aches/pains, prep your body for labor, and heal postpartum. Private lessons are available in-person or virtual with REVITALIZE. Postpartum Reconnect online course is a full self guided healing program to heal your core & pelvic floor day 1 after delivery.

Hello, my name is Nashare and I am the owner of That Community Helper. I am trained as birth and postpartum doula, but currently focusing on postpartum clients. I graduated college with a degree in Early Childhood Education and it made me realize that the best foundation for a good early childhood is through the mother/parents. I believe that parents have lost the support through the entire perinatal phase and it is my desire and goal to make sure the parents build confidence in themselves. In my practice I believe in creating a compassionate, education-driven, supportive environment during a very sensitive time in parents’ lives. In my free time, I like to paint, draw, and read.
