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.
Photographer
My passion as a birth photographer is to create a safe atmosphere where your raw beauty, strength and love can be documented with grace and honor. Everyone’s birth experience is different, not just because where you birth and whom you birth with, but because YOU are unique. Let’s work together to archive these moments through photography for you to enjoy for years.
My doula packages include 1 to 3 different photo sessions. Every doula package service gets birth photography. Its one of my favorites. The images that come out of labor are so worthy of praise. Its amazing how you can really capture the dance between mom and baby and any loved ones involved during labor. The second package offers newborn photos. I do not do the ones in little cocoons, or holding their face up but my favorite are skin to skin with mama, so much intimacy during these moments. Thirdly would be maternity photographs. these are always so beautiful with your growing glowing baby.
Lastly in my photography I am a volunteer of "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep” when your precious baby is born sleeping . I want to capture the last moments you all will have with baby until you meet again. Its a difficult session full of a lot of emotion, however I encourage you to ride the emotion to have these everlasting memories.
​
I love family photos. My family is so tired of me saying I got us all matching clothes for family pictures. Lol. But I love having these memories to look back on year to year, buy the matching clothes and call me. I do graduation pictures as well. Let me help you capture your families timeline of celebratory events.
