Love Your Birth
You’re pregnant! You are so excited to hold that sweet little baby…but you’re also concerned. Not only about being a parent – although that sometimes keeps you up at night. You’re concerned about your birth. You’re smart, you’re educated, you know your rights as a birthing person. But you’re worried you’ll have to fight to get what you want. You know you’ve got a lot of good information about birth options, but you want a guide. An advocate for both you AND your partner. Someone on your side during your most vulnerable and challenging moments. That’s where a good labor support person comes in. Silver Spring Doula can help.

Love Your Life with Baby
You’ve heard it from everywhere – having a baby is hard. No sleep, no energy, no idea what you’re doing. Add crazy postpartum hormones to the mix, and that seems even more daunting than the act of giving birth.

Never heard of it? A little nervous to contemplate eating you placenta? There’s nothing to be afraid of!

Hi. My name is Jenny Corbett
I am a birth doula and placenta encapsulation specialist. I started Silver Spring Doula because it is an honor to witness the moment that families begin and grow. Even more than birth and babies, I love being able to help guide women (and their partners!) to discover their own best birth.

That you get to decide what is best for your birth and your baby. That every birthing human deserves an easy, confident, joyful journey through pregnancy and birth. Here’s everything you need to know about me, my awesome doula partner Rose, and Silver Spring Doula…

Myths and fables and half truths, Oh my!
Let’s face it. Birth is weird. And everyone – from your mom to your doctor to your college roommate – has something to tell you about it. They all know what will happen, what has to happen or what can’t ever in a million years happen. But the fact is, a lot of that stuff they tell you is a myth, based on nothing more than tradition or provider preference. In this quick little guide, you’ll get an evidence-based overview of 10 common myths about labor and birth. Get a free copy for requesting a consult!

One thread of calm in our upended world…was Rose. Using a doula – specifically Rose – was a perfect way to have a happy and healthy delivery.
Laurie & Chad
Rose is an amazing doula– wise, respectful, kind, and calm. Her presense during our birth was incredibly positive…Rose is so knowledgeable and experienced that she made us feel at ease before the birth. ~Laurie and Chad

Let's talk!Carrie & Hillary
Our birthing time was a long and challenging one and Rose was with us for every moment of it. We made several hard and unanticipated decisions during this birth, some, in hindsight, that we might have done differently. But the one thing we wouldn’t change was Rose.
M ~ Washington, DC
Rose has a very special place in my heart. I had been a bit concerned that my mother wouldn’t be able to attend my birth because she was out of town, but Rose filled that void as closely as anyone possibly could, I think. I recommend Rose without hesitation. ~M
