Find a Midwife Near Me in Folsom, CA

Hello, my name is Jamie and I am a Certified Birth Doula in Sacramento, CA! I am also earning my certification as a postpartum doula, lactation consulting and more. I first developed a passion for the Mother's experience when I was in graduate school. I have my Masters in Holistic Psychology with an emphasis in Somatics (soma = body). My thesis project focused on the initial phase of postpartum and the support that Mothers needed and deserved. As a result of that project, I have started The Mother's Temple - a developing programed that is aimed at allowing Mothers the space for an evolving identity of both Individual Self and Mother Self. In addition to a deep passion for the Mother's experience and a foundation in mind-body wellness, I have more than nine years of active childcare experience. I have nannied children 0-10 and have worked as an emotional regulations educator for children 4-11. As your doula, my goal is to make every part of your birth-parenthood journey as grounded and comforting as possible. Whether we meet during your pregnancy or in the midst of your postpartum journey; together we will create a plan that best suits you and your family.

I am a 25 year old mother of two, and my journey into becoming a doula is deeply rooted in my own birth experiences. I’ve had both a hospital birth and two unassisted, natural home births, which gave me a well-rounded perspective on how powerful and capable women are when they feel supported, safe, and heard. During my first birth in a hospital setting, I found myself having to advocate strongly for my own choices, which opened my eyes to how essential it is for mothers to have someone in their corner. What led me to this work is my belief that mothers deserve to be at the center of their birth experience. While the focus often shifts to the baby, a mother’s physical, emotional, and mental well being is just as important especially during and after delivery. Birth environments, particularly hospitals, can sometimes feel chaotic or overwhelming, but with the right support and advocacy, they can also be calm, respectful, and empowering spaces. I understand that while many women desire home births, not all have that option, especially in higher risk situations. As a doula, my role is to help create a peaceful, supportive atmosphere wherever birth takes place, while ensuring that each mother’s voice is heard, respected, and honored throughout her journey.

After retiring from a long career of working with children and families, I became a professional doula. I wanted to support and nurture birthing persons during this sacred time of their lives. I wanted to offer sacred holistic services to them, youth, and communities by partnering with them as they learn more about holistic reproductive wellness. I also wanted to educate them about the importance of preventive reproductive health care, maternal health justice, trauma-informed quality childcare, equity and advocacy, childbirth education and basic lactation support through coaching, training, and mentoring not only birthing persons but the community and new doulas. So, I immersed and dedicated myself to learning all that I could about how to support in this way. ​ I am the mother of two amazing adult sons and oftentimes reflect on my birthing experiences. They were both very different births but what helped me survive was the birthing team I chose and the village around me when I returned home and encourage those, I serve to embrace their community and build their village. ​ I am also a Childbirth Educator, an author, singer/songwriter, a Master of Ceremony and a speaker. I am a birth justice advocate that believes birth work is justice work and there is no way to separate one from the other!

I’m in process of certification as an INNATE Postpartum Care Practitioner. Unmedicated/Physiologic Birth Education course (self-paced) also available.
