Meet Meredith

DONA International certified postpartum doula, writer, and mom of two, supporting parents with newborns in Richmond, VA

I’m Meredith; a certified postpartum doula, writer, and mom of two. My work centers on the messy, momentous transition into parenthood: the physical recovery, the emotional whiplash, the identity shift, the invisible work, and the question of how we’re supposed to care for ourselves while caring for other people.
