Owner and operator at Doula Nathalie

Owner and operator at Doula Nathalie Doula Nathalie & Associates (established in 2018) provides a suite of birth and postpartum doula services in the Washington DC metropolitan area and Annapolis.

After a fulfilling career as an ICU nurse and a stint as a medical sales representative, I embarked on a globetrotting adventure with my family. In 2018, I decided to pursue my passion for supporting expecting parents by becoming a certified birth and postpartum Doula through DONA International. My husband and I are proud parents of three children who have now blossomed into young adults. Two of them are studying in The Netherlands, and our youngest is a rising senior in high school.

​I had the privilege of experiencing three distinct birth journeys. The first two took place in a hospital setting, with the first one being induced three weeks early due to medical reasons and the second arriving naturally around the due date. Our third child was born at home, offering a unique perspective on childbirth. Drawing from my nine-year background as an ICU/Cardiac Care nurse, I bring a wealth of knowledge from various medical settings to my role as a Doula. Every day, I am reminded of the immeasurable value of these experiences in guiding expecting parents through their pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
