From the very first moment a woman discovers that she is pregnant, she begins a beautiful, unique, and challenging rite of passage. Nurtured Nesting recognizes that many women desire and need help during this transformative time ~ beyond what their medical care providers, family, or community are able to offer. Nurtured Nesting acknowledges this need, and offers informational, physical, practical, emotional, spiritual, and social support to pregnant women, their families, and their community. I support women during pregnancy so that they can do the work that is needed to prepare for the birth journey and postpartum.
Nurtured Nesting offers antepartum doula services to women in the mountains of Asheville, NC regardless of whether they are planning a home or hospital birth or working with a midwife, doctor, or perinatologists. I specialize in providing support to women experiencing high risk and/or bedrest pregnancies. I understand that the challenges of a high risk or bedrest pregnancy can seem insurmountable and my services are designed to help women find their hope, strength, and support during these difficult times.
I hope that you find this website to be easy to use, informative, and connective to the wide range of resources and support groups in our global and local birthing community. The writings on the website are a collection of my research, training, and thoughts and have been deeply inspired from the works of Midwife Whapio Diane Bartlett and Doula Virgina Collins. I have included links to many other websites that have inspired me along the way.
l welcome suggestions, comments, and questions from women and families interested in my services and the birthing community in general. Please visit the “contact us” page to find out how to get in touch.
May all women have sacred and empowered pregnancies, births, and beyond!
Blessings ~
