My name is Jessica and I am a certified Birth/Postpartum Doula and Placenta Specialist located in Syracuse, NY. My passion is pregnancy and birth. My own pregnancies drew me into birth work. I am a mom of 5, one being in heaven. My children are between 8 and 15 years old, 2 boys and 2 girls. Three are heavily involved in sports (baseball and hockey) and one loves theater and art. People ask how I fit it all in? I make it work. I love this work and it brings me joy in helping other families. I want to help create a better birth/postpartum period with compassionate care for my families. I have been a doula since 2021 and have attended 70+ births, and I have given postpartum support to 45+ families. I love what I do, and my clients can attest that it shows. Birth is one of the most memorable moments in our lives. I became a doula in order to help my clients navigate the journey through their pregnancy and birth. Consider me your pocket guide to birth. My clients go into their birth with the knowledge and confidence to make educated decisions. I am there to fully support those decisions they make. I am now also a placenta specialist. Whether you are looking to have your placenta encapsulated for ease to take or are looking for beautiful keepsakes like a placenta print or cord keepsake, contact me.

Ashley is a loving wife & mom of six (6) littles, including a pair of twins. Ashley is a Birth Doula, Lactation Counselor, Fertility Counselor and Perinatal Loss Advocate. I became a birth worker after experiencing 2 hard-fought laboring experiences and feeling like my options during labor were limited to what was hospital routine and whatever was financially incentavizing for my medical providers. I decided that no mom should feel like her birth doesn't belong to her; like she cannot have full bodily autonomy in her most vulnerable hours. Every mother should have the liberty to explore all of her options, including alternative coping methods and relying on her own intuition to bring forth a healthy baby. I accept Medicaid, Fidelis, Excellus, MVP and Molina Health Insurances.

⚜️About Me:⚜️ I’m Kailey Yeager, owner of Naturally Nurtured Doula Care LLC, wife, and proud mother of two. My experiences as a mother of a child with special needs inspired me to become a passionate advocate for families navigating healthcare, education, and community support systems. As a community-based, high-risk doula, my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-informed support throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. I believe parents deserve access to accurate information, quality education, and trusted resources so they can make informed decisions that are right for their unique families. My role is not to make decisions for parents, but to ensure they feel confident, respected, and empowered as they make those decisions themselves. Beyond my doula work, I am deeply committed to advocacy. I have advocated for improved access to Early Intervention and preschool special education services, helping raise awareness of the barriers families face in obtaining timely evaluations, services, and support. I am passionate about ensuring children with special needs and their families have access to the services, resources, and opportunities they deserve. I currently serve as Vice President of the Brockport PTSA, where I work to strengthen partnerships between families, schools, and the community through volunteerism, parent engagement, and educational initiatives. I also serve as the Brockport Central School District TIES Program Coordinator, coordinating inclusive social and recreational opportunities that bring together students with and without disabilities. Through TIES, I aim to help foster meaningful friendships, leadership, and a sense of belonging for children and young adults of all abilities. Everything I do is rooted in the belief that education empowers families. Whether I am supporting an expectant parent, advocating for a child with special needs, leading community programs, or connecting families with local resources, my mission is to provide the knowledge, encouragement, and support that help families make informed choices with confidence.

I am a herbalist, doula for birth and postpartum, childbirth educator, breastfeeding educator, Midwives Assistant, student Midwife and student Phlebotomy Tech.

I began supporting moms about 11 years ago and opened my practice officially in 2024. I accept MEDICAID insurance for several counties in NY: BROOME, DELAWARE, CHENANGO, OTSEGO. Though it stretches up to Albany.
