The Nurture Nook is a community space for parents in the DC area. We are focused on improving the prenatal, birth, and postpartum experience by offering a variety of services, education, and community events in our physical space in Fairfax, VA. It is our foundational belief that everyone deserves a positive and supported transition into parenthood. All of our educational workshops and classes are taught by providers we trust. These classes and services are inclusive, safe spaces to learn, ask questions, prepare for becoming a parent, and heal. We invite you to make The Nurture Nook your home away from home!

Midwives guide families to make informed decisions in their prenatal, labor, birth, and postpartum care based on evidence-based practices, knowledge sharing, and collaboration.
