With that in mind, Jacqueline wanted to form a community-based space that women could come in to meet other moms, hear their stories, offer support and maybe offer a bit of guidance. She believes there is something so empowering about a group of mothers together, sharing their truth and lifting each other up with a healthy dose of mama wisdom and perspective. Jacqueline hopes that women find The Nesting Place to be their solace, their place of guidance and support, and community.Laura Siddons has had a passion for moms and babies since she can remember. She became a certified birth doula in 2008 and since then has supported many mothers and families.

Laura believes in connecting families with resources and face-to-face support services to help them make informed decisions throughout their unique journey.Laura is the current co-president of the Long Island Doula Association.
