About Me

I am so glad you are here. My name is Allison, and I am a Postpartum Doula and Coach, serving Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

My experience and training position me perfectly to assist you with concerns related to pregnancy and parenting.

  • My Elephant Embrace program will support you through your pregnancy and in the postpartum period.

  • I can be a valuable resource when you prepare to become a parent.

  • I can help you through the challenges and joys of pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting.

  • As a Peripartum Mental Health (PMH-C) therapist, I can help you and your partner prepare for the arrival of a new baby.

  • Pregnancy is full of emotional and physical changes! Together, we will work to manage them.

  • I can help you plan the best “4th” trimester for your family.

  • In addition to my doula and coaching practice, I have experience as a hospital social worker in a mother-baby unit. This job allowed me to help families get the very best postpartum support.

There are also pictures of elephants and a woman holding newborn babies.
