Betsy Quilligan, CLC, CPD(DONA)

We know how important it is to you to step into new parenthood feeling confident and in control. Life with a newborn is all about adjustment as you figure out your new “normal” as a family, while you recover from giving birth and live the daily physical and emotional changes of postpartum – all on very little sleep!

You know you will need support but, until you arrive home with your baby, it can be hard to imagine just how big your learning curve might be! Having skilled, compassionate postpartum care you can trust will make all the difference.

We have helped hundreds of families in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia through their unpredictable first weeks of parenting. Like them, you don’t have to “go it alone." Support for your family is one click away. How can we help you?

Specialties:  Supporting newly lactating parents in the transitional first weeks and establishing ideal routines that support long-term goals.
