Hi! Nice to meet you! I am a birth doula & HypnoBirthing educator with a holistic approach to support. I bring no agenda, no specific birth philosophy and no bias into your story; I only offer my support with open arms, a nurturing heart, and listening ears. Each birth is so unique and each family deserves to have support that is unequivacally specific to their individual vision and needs. It's my passion to help create a peaceful atmosphere that feels safe and empowered. My role is to help you find tenacious confidence within yourself finding the ability to trust your body and your own powerful intuition. It is my desire to create a peaceful space where you can discover your voice and your strength. It's an honor of mine to be invited into the birth space and support families through this extremely intimate journey. It is one of my greatest joys to do this ancient and important work and I so look forward to connecting.

Jas is an amazing doula. She was with me through every step of my pregnancy. My partner and I came to Jas when we were thinking about getting pregnant. She helped me with steaming, setting intention, and writing out a plan for pregnancy. During my pregnancy I was supported with consistent meetings with Jas where she helped me plan, gave me nutrition guides a recommended birthing education class that I attended and loved. Through my birth and postpartum, Jas was such a valuable resource and support. If you are looking for an awesome doula as part of your birth team, look no further!! :)

Susy's help after our first baby girl was born has been priceless. With her help, advice, and encouragement I was able to breastfeed my baby for 20 months though at the beginning I thought I would not make it at all! Her professional knowledge and support in good and hard times made our days as new parents much brighter not to mention restful as our baby was in great hands throughout the night. I cannot recommend her enough!

Hello everyone my name is Tasha Nelson and I am a Christian doula! I have been working as a newborn care specialist since 2011. I fell in love with the opportunity to support families during one of the most extraordinary but exhausting times in their lives. Working as a newborn care specialist allows me the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of families. I enjoy supporting new parents during a crucial life stage and find immense fulfillment in positively impacting the well-being of both the baby and the family through specialized care, including feeding, sleep routines, and overall development guidance during the early months of life. I have worked with many infants, including premature infants and twins. I have supported mothers with breastfeeding, from milk storage, supply issues, latching problems, and more. I have also helped families who want to use formulas by providing my knowledge and support with brands and looking out for milk intolerances and digestion issues. I am knowledgeable about colicky infants, tongue ties, reflexes, cradle caps, oxygen machines, and more. I love helping families set up their nurseries to help create a safe sleep environment conducive to fostering healthy sleep habits from night one. I am open to helping families in any way I can, including bottle washing, sanitizing, and keeping the infant areas clean and organized. I am comfortable working with hands-on parents and completely taking over with the infant, doing whatever I can to offer the most support. I have worked with many different families, and I love to be able to come in and uniquely tailor my support to each family, background, beliefs, and lifestyle. I can be an educator and friend while providing guidance and support to help families feel more confident in their abilities and skills. Being able to do this job is my passion, and I feel blessed.

Hello everyone, I'm a Birth and Postpartum Doula, as well as a Childbirth Educator. I absolutely love all things birth and baby, but my passion is in helping families adjust to the new changes that a baby brings. I truly believe that everyone should have the support that they need going into pregnancy, birth and postpartum. It's a rollercoaster of a time, with a million questions that come with it. My goal is to have the families I work with, feel informed and empowered during such a pivotal moment in their lives. I got interested in doula work before becoming a mom myself. Now as a mom, that interest has only been strengthened. I talk to so many parents who would've done things differently or wish they had known something back then that could've made their lives that much easier. with a newborn. My goal is to get the answers to my families that they need, whether that be from my own knowledge and expertise or connecting them to the right resources who can help them.

Cheryl was a fantastic doula! She is compassionate, understanding and knowledgeable. When the time came for us to go to the hospital and deliver our baby, Cheryl arrived engaged and fully prepared. Cheryl's personality is very warm and kind, it makes her a wonderful ally as you go through the process of giving birth. I fully recommended her.

I will be there for you to lower stress, anxiety, and pressure, and be your constant cheerleader through every step of your birthing and postpartum journey.

Recent review

My husband and I hired Jill after going back and forth on whether we even wanted/needed a doula and are so happy we did! From the moment we got pregnant, we knew that we were hospital birth people. Though friends and family had suggested a doula, those friends and family were the home birth / bathtub birth, free spirited, yogi types and nothing at all like us in terms of lifestyle or beliefs. We thought do we really need to spend the extra money? Would a doula would be too hippy-dippy for us? We interviewed four or five different doulas in the area and decided we’d give it a go and that Jill best fit our vibe. She was all about empowering us and not the least bit judgmental of our desire to have an OB, birth in a hospital, and leave the epidural on the table as a possibility. All in all, with Jill’s help we ended up having the unmedicated vaginal birth I desperately wanted but was too afraid to outright commit to from the outset. And if there’s anything I can say to those on the fence about a doula because of the cost, it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE on delivery day. For us, that doula was Jill. She provided the physical and mental support my partner and I would have otherwise never even known we were missing (massage, position changes, words of encouragement, you name it!), and was 100% the reason we were able to have the unforgettable experience we did! We wish everyone could have a Jill with them on delivery day!!

Valerie is so kind and thoughtful. I really appreciated my time with Valerie and her services were great! Being 6 weeks postpartum and taking care of a newborn, she was great at working around my schedule. Having Valerie was a way to not only focus on my postpartum recovery but also mentally recovery as well. Her wraps really helped me shed some water weight and made my stomach feel so much better after my c-section. Valerie is amazing at what she does and you will not be disappointed.
