After three miscarriages, registered nurse Hollie Barclay founded Mother’s Nature, which provides mobile ultrasounds and visiting-nursing services to expectant and new mothers.
Launched in May, the business is housed in owner Barclay’s Rehoboth home studio at 18 Rocky Hill Road, where educational classes and free support groups meet and elective ultrasounds can be produced. A storefront at 3 Park St. also provides a place for appointments for nursing consultations, said Barclay.
