| Jennifer Zorich, LMT, CD
Licensed Massage Therapist
Certified Doula
Jennifer has worked with women and families for the last five years, providing support as a doula, childbirth educator, and breastfeeding counselor. Inspired to help other women after the 2004 birth of her son, she sought certification through ALACE/tolabor. She chose this program because she felt it was the most thorough of all the doula certifications available. In 2005, she began volunteering at the DC Developing Families Center in Washington, DC. Working with Certified Nurse Midwives at Washington Hospital, she provided women and families labor and breastfeeding support. During this time, she also began her own practice, attending births in Maryland, Virginia and DC, in hospitals, homes and birth centers. Jennifer feels fortunate to have had the opportunity to support women in a variety of settings and with many different care providers, from obstetricians to traditional midwives.
