Licensed Therapist
Hey! I am so excited you found my website. Let me tell you a bit about myself. My name is Nichole Ford. I am a Licensed Therapist with a trauma informed training certification. I offer tele-therapy to clients in Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia, Delaware, South Carolina and Florida.
I am passionate about helping people during difficult times when hope feels so far away.
Birth Doula
I am a trauma informed birth doula and fell in love with it at my friends home birth. I love the education and encouragement I share with you and your loved ones. I would love to bring comfort measures such as counter pressures, massage therapy, affirming words and other ideas that make labor more bearable.
Photographer
I am a photographer that loves to capture every raw detail of labor and delivery. It’s amazing the feelings and vulnerabilities the camera can capture. i look forward to doing that with you.
