As a physical therapy provider, I've had the pleasure of working with many expecting and postpartum clients, and I consistently refer them to Annapolis Area Doulas. Their team is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive throughout pregnancy, birth, and recovery. They take the time to truly understand each family's needs and provide the type of education and care that aligns perfectly with a holistic, evidence-based approach to health. I've seen firsthand how their involvement makes a positive impact on both physical and emotional recovery for new moms. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for an experienced, trustworthy doula team! read more

We were so privileged to be able to have Carly and Nani as our night doulas for our first born. Our little one came 6 weeks early and was in the NICU for 24 days and Carly was so flexible and checked in often so we could have a seamless start when baby came home. They truly gave us the gift of sleep as new parents which made the transition to parenthood so much easier and we really got to enjoy being parents during the day since we weren't exhausted. Carly and Nani also helped me trust my mom gut more and not get over worried about every little thing because I knew I could ask them about it when they arrived that evening. The best part is that little one was sleeping through the night by the time our contract was over and so we get to continue enjoying full nights of sleep thanks to their help! Truly cannot say enough good things! read more

Carly and her team are so kind, caring and supportive! If you are expecting or recently postpartum and need support reach out to them!

So glad I chose to encapsulate my placenta. Carly was incredibly profesdional, sweet and knowledgeable. It was so comforting to have her around those in those first few days that I plan to hire her as my doula when I'm pregnant with DC2. I'm now believer in the benefits of placenta encapsulation and I encourage others to try for themselves. read more
