Her strength, innate wisdom and feeling of empowerment expierenced during childbirth will remain with her into her journey of motherhood, As a doula I strive to help parents create realistic expectations about their unique birth experience; making sure they are educated, feel confident, grounded and excited about the birth process.
As a doula I believe a mother needs to be supported, nurtured and empowered so that she is at her best to embark in her new role of a mother.
Are you an expecting parent seeking comfort, information, and support throughout your pregnancy and childbirth journey? As your local doula, I offer personalized guidance and continuous presence during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. My driving goal is to assist families; helping to identify their needs while meeting then where they are at, and helping to guide them to where they want to be. In both life and birth, I am a proponent of “to each their own.” My job is to listen to and advocate for your wishes, without judgement. Whether you are planning on an all-natural birth, VBAC, planned induction or a caesarean, I can be there for every step of the way.
Doula
Welcoming a newborn brings immense joy, but also an adjustment period filled with new challenges. As a postpartum doula, I offer support with tuck in services, newborn and sibling care so mom can rest, breastfeeding support, help with the emotional and physical recovery, massage for mama and baby, meal prep and light tiding up and referrals to local resources. I have combined my love of healthy cooking and background in culinary arts at Cordon Bleu Paris to bring you healthy, and beautiful meals. The need for sustenance is at an all-time high and nutrient dense food is important for physical, mental and emotional recovery and stability during this transitional journey. If needed, we can address things like body image and postpartum changes. I want to encourage positivity and nourishment, both mentally and physically to aid you in appreciating your postpartum path. If desied we can create a wardrobe that is comfortable and stylish, creating ease and confidence.
POSTPARTUM
Riley
I found her to be very supportive, knowledgeable kind and encouraging
She was a tremendous resource during my birth, providing physical, emotional and even spiritual support. Jess was a true advocate for me and interacted with my husband as well as the medical staff in a calm and warm manner all while keeping my wishes at the forefront.
Manon
"Jess’s presence at my side was such a gift!
I struggled with a difficult pregnancy after experiencing multiple miscarriages. She was my anchor when I would start worrying too much and was supportive at all hours of the day. I felt so comfortable in her care."
Cora
"I will always be grateful to Jess for guiding me
through the birth of my first child and providing me with vital assistance during his first few weeks when we didn’t have a clue what we were doing!"
empowering mothers from pregnancy to after birth
As a prenatal yoga instructor,
I want to encourage expectant mothers to move and be in tune with your ever-changing bodies, to develop strength and flexibility to maneuver though pregnancy and postpartum with strength and grace.
I wholeheartedly believe in mindful and calm shared experiences, combined with laughter and talking through feelings, will help you process all the emotions. Together we can personalize your prenatal, labor and postpartum plan. When it is time for the momentous day, I will be there every step of the way to provide emotional and physical support to mom, baby and partner.
