As a health educator by degree, my desire to support & champion others flourishes every time I hear a birth story. This fascination I have for all things pregnancy, birth & postpartum that led me to become a doula stems from my own experience advocating for my birth wishes and learning to trust my intuition. I hope every birthing person I meet knows this - your birth experience matters, your intuition is mighty and I will always be your supporter.

My name is Jasmine Davis, but you can call me Jazzie! I am a Doula, Holistic Health Practitioner, and Massage Therapist. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology and a concentration in Addiction Studies. I have a passion for birth work, helping others, working with underserved populations, and making sure people feel seen, heard, and supported. I have been a doula for three years and have supported many birthing parents with different experiences, values, and goals. I specialize in high-risk pregnancies, substance use support, trauma-informed care, natural birth, and holistic approaches to wellness. I take pride in supporting families through their journeys with intentional, compassionate care. As your doula, I strive to make sure your voice is heard, you are informed, and you feel confident and supported in your decisions while being comforted throughout labor and birth. I’m also a boy mom, so I’m learning to love sports! In my free time, I enjoy refurbishing furniture, painting, and tackling DIY projects. I have a soft spot for poetry, books, and science. I love being creative, trying new things, and taking on a good challenge!

I grew up in west Michigan, cradled by the crescent moon grin of the Great Lakes. My desire to become a doula first took root in experiences I had volunteering with local organizations and non-profits when I was in high school. My passion for community-based care began in the basement of a neighborhood church, where I first volunteered with a non-profit organization dedicated to helping families find and keep secure housing for their children. From these initial experiences, I got to witness first-hand how important it is for families to be well-informed and unconditionally supported in order to thrive together. The roots of my work as a doula and student midwife are the same as they were back then, before I even began birth work : when families are given non-judgemental support and evidence-based education during their transition into parenthood, they can have the most satisfying, empowering experience possible. As a doula, I emphasize a client-centered approach where you are seen as the expert in your own care; together, using support and education, we will create a birth / postpartum plan that supports the health and well-being of you, your baby, and your support team.
