ABOUT ME
I’m Jessica, a birth doula with a deep passion for supporting women and families through one of the most powerful journeys of their lives: pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My own experience becoming a mother ignited this calling in me, and it grew even stronger during my second pregnancy. I know firsthand how transformative, overwhelming and beautiful this season can be, and you do not have to go through it alone.
As your doula, I will be a dedicated and compassionate support system - someone who not only respects you but also walks beside you like a trusted friend throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. I bring a calm presence, a good sense of humor, and a listening ear when you need it most. I am a hard worker who believes in your strength and am here to support you and your family every step of the way.
I love seeing women empowered through this incredible experience and I would be honored to be a part of your team. I truly look forward to working with you.

Yes! Although I am not yet a Certified Lactation Counselor, I have completed some lactation training and have also breastfed my own children for almost four years between the two of them.

As a client, we will meet one time after you deliver your baby as a check-in where we can discuss your delivery, how feeding is going, how you are feeling, and how your family is adjusting. I am not a trained postpartum doula but do hope to become one in the future.

During our consultation, I will inform you of any dates close to your estimated due date when I may be unavailable, if applicable. In the unlikely event that I am unable to attend your labor due to illness or a family emergency, I will arrange for a trusted backup doula to support you.

Testimonials
“Jessica brought so much positivity and peace to my birth. From helping me feel mentally prepared ahead of time to cheering me on in the moment, she made me feel happy, confident, and cared for every step of the way. She honored all my choices and created a truly loving, supportive space - it was everything I hoped for. Choosing a doula is such an important decision, and I’m so grateful I trusted Jessica with one of the most meaningful moments of my life.” - Sarah
“Working with Jess as my virtual doula was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. From the beginning, she created space for open, thoughtful conversations that helped my husband and me feel informed and empowered. She never pushed her own opinions—instead, she listened deeply and helped us explore what felt right for us. Her ability to speak from experience, especially having had two very different births herself, gave her insight that really resonated. Jess guided us through building a birth plan, but also helped us prepare emotionally and mentally for the unexpected. I ended up having an unmedicated natural birth, and I know I approached it with more clarity and confidence because of her support. Even virtually, her presence was calming and grounding. I’m so grateful for her care and would recommend her to anyone looking for nonjudgmental, thoughtful guidance in their pregnancy journey.” - Chelsea
