Love notes from my lovely doula families...
Jessie helped me plan and have a birth that kept my baby and I safe, and empowered me.
She centers justice and equity in her practice, and made made me feel safe, powerful, ready, and respected.
The holistic approach Jessie takes in supporting birthing people is second to none.
Jessie's calm yet confident demeanor was just what I needed. The mental, physical, and emotional support she gave me was a huge reason I had such a positive birth experience - I genuinely look back on the whole experience with fondness. Jessie was an amazing resource, giving us tons of tools, suggestions, support, and ultimately the assurance we needed to feel confident in our choices. If you’re on the fence about hiring a doula, I can’t recommend it enough, especially for first-time parents. Having a more positive, informed, and empowering birth experience was one of the best things I chose to invest in.

A healthy balance of emotional support and evidence-based discussion of practical matters. She was always aware of what felt right for us, and offered support structured around our peace and comfort. She helped us get through the frustration of long labor at home, the stress behind the decisions we faced at the hospital, and the anxiety as we were getting closer to meeting our baby.

From the minute we met Jessie on Zoom, we knew she was the right person to help us along this journey. Jessie is warm, kind, accepting, and open-minded. She has a wealth of resources which she adapted to our specific needs and priorities. Having our first child during a pandemic with no family support, Jessie was the one who taught us everything. She helped to organize our baby space, and made us feel confident swaddling, holding, soothing, and bathing baby. Her postpartum approach to build confidence in the both of us was crucial, and we never felt alone.

Jessie was available every step of the way in our 3 day labor and birth. She talked us through what each step meant in a supporting and non-judgemental manner and offered advice when asked. Jessie never failed to focus on how WE were feeling, empowering and giving us the space we needed. She offered amazing emotional support to my husband throughout, especially during labor when his anxiety was peaking.
After the birth, Jessie offered resources, normalized the exhaustion, fears and frustration we were feeling, and helped us appreciate the beauty. I am sure we would have managed pregnancy and birth without her, but I'm SO glad we didn't, as she made it a lot less stressful, and a lot more beautiful.
