I love spending time at the beach, going for walks outside, a little coffee with my cream, fuzzy socks, loud country music, driving with the windows down, bonfires, sweater weather, cooking and baking from scratch, salted caramel, mom groups and Gilmore Girls. I believe that birth is meant to work, and that all women deserve support, encouragement and respect while they are birthing their beautiful baby!

Tidal Nest is a postpartum doula practice serving Annapolis and Anne Arundel County — Severna Park, Crofton, Edgewater, Davidsonville, Arnold, and Kent Island. It's run by Corinne Carter, a CAPPA-certified postpartum doula, Annapolis local, and mother of three boys. The fourth trimester gets called magical. Mostly it's a steep learning curve: reading what your baby needs, feeding through rough patches, tracking your own recovery, knowing the difference between hard-but-normal and time-to-call. Most new parents teach themselves all of it alone at 11 p.m. on three hours of sleep. Tidal Nest exists to compress that curve. That means coaching, not rescue. Early on, Corinne does more of the hands-on work while you recover, explaining her reasoning as she goes. By weeks two and three you're leading and she's a guardrail. By week four, most clients report what worked instead of asking what to do. The measure of success is being needed less. In-home support starts at $55/hour daytime, $60/hour evenings, with a four-hour starter package and a prenatal consult. Also: the Monday New Mom & Baby Support Group, a virtual option, and digital guides. Non-medical support, every family configuration welcome. Every engagement starts with a free 20-minute consult.
