I met Jacquelyne and Sarah when I was 34 weeks pregnant with my son. Even though I was so far along, it felt like I had know them my whole pregnancy. We connected so well and they both made me feel like family. When i tell you they would do anything for their girls, i mean they would do ANYTHING for their girls. Even if it means coming over to massage you several times just because they know your body is aching and they want to help you rest better without you even having to ask them! They are so kind, gentle, honest, and generous with their time. They are so passionate about mommas and babies and it is so evident in every area of their lives. My birth didn’t go as planned, but they both comforted me and made me feel like I could do anything. even in the face of a mountain of fear. I couldn’t have done it without them. I am forever grateful for these beautiful women. I want them to be there for all of my babies!!!
Also, RUN DO NOT WALK to having Sarah as your photographer!!! She is AMAZING! Every picture captures so much emotion and her editing is phenomenal!

I am so incredibly thankful to have found this birth collective and to have the opportunity to work with Jacquelyne. I had a good feeling about her from the very beginning and found her just in time. She was especially attentive, always texting to check in with me. She also created an individual doula plan that worked best with my situation and schedule. Jacquelyne came to the hospital, took the sweetest photos of my baby and family and stayed to make sure I was ok. She even advocated for me when my pulse was super low for a certain period and I wasn’t feeling the best. I am so happy I found her, her knowledge is impressive and she ensured that I was well prepared for my birthing experience. She has a warm and thoughtful personality and has wonderful experience as a doula. As a nurse, I’m thankful for her professionalism and thoughtfulness and look forward to using Wild Roots in my next pregnancy.🩷

Jackie, Sarah and Terri have been the biggest gift I could have asked for in my post partum journey! Not only did they do every chore/cleaning (while I caught up on sleep!) so that I wouldn’t have to even think about it, they routinely checked in with me to ensure my mental health was never declining!! I never once questioned that my newborn was given the most snuggles and affection in their care. Can’t recommend these ladies enough!
— Rachel Lawshe
Very thankful to have worked with this doula team during my postpartum recovery! Having women around who cared for me and my children during those days of healing was absolutely amazing! I worked with Jaidyn, Sarah, and Jacquelynne and all three women cared for me, my home, and my children in such a supporting and uplifting way. They are truly the village you need when you are recovering from giving birth!

I wanted to come on here and give a review. Due to the amazing love and support that these girls give. I got a ahold on them at 30w pregnant. I wanted to go this way due to the doctors telling me I couldnt have the birth I wanted. I reached out and they told me I will have the birth I wanted. I went in thinking I was going natural 100%. No epidural no nothing. I knew I was probably going to want it after I got around 5cm dilated. I wanted to be up and walking around. Working out my contractions. Before we got started she had run to get a drink. When she came back I was mid contraction. So hesitation she jumped right in. I labored in my back. Which by far is the worst. She really coached me through it till I got my epidural. I jumped from 1.5 to 5 in 5 mins. ( I was induced). I will be using these girls again for my 2nd baby!

After my first introduction to Jacquelyne I was so excited and relieved that I had found birth support. She & Terri did 2 prenatal support visits.
During our visits we had shared our previous birth traumas with them, and they reassured us of our rights and their role in protecting them, which was a huge relief. I was loaned a peanut ball and they showed me stretches for pain relief. Jacquelyne gave me a relaxing massage with essential oils, explaining the benefits of each one. They showed us their birth bags and everything in them and educated us on the purpose of each item.
They both also made an effort to connect with my other children, which meant a lot to us.
They were always available when I needed support and answered all of my husband's questions, easing his mind. My husband even nicknamed them ‘The Avengers' because of the way they came together and started working on me. He was confident that our baby & I were going to be loved, supported and protected.
During labor, they both were hands-on and incredibly comforting. They anticipated my needs, offering hip squeezes, helping me in the labor tub, cooling me with a towel and fan, giving me sips of water, and helping me change positions. They made sure I was as comfortable as possible, getting me extra pillows and linens when there was delays with the hospital staff. They communicated with my midwife and nurses, advocating for my needs. Terri also encouraged and reassured my husband when things got intense.
They went above and beyond, even finding knee pads for me in the labor tub! They made sure I had warm dry clothes on right away after my bath. Terri braided my hair, set up string lights & candles, and Jacquelyne set up the essential oil diffuser. I didn't have to worry about a thing. Hearing their voices chanting support and love during active labor & birth motivated and comforted me.
Terri is also a talented photographer and captured beautiful moments of my labor, birth, and postpartum. She even came back the next morning to capture photos of my other children meeting their new sister. She helped them feel comfortable with their new sister. The amount of detail she captured was incredible. Our family will definitely be booking a session with her in the near future
Jacquelyne came to visit our family in our home a few weeks afterwards once we were comfortable & ready. She brought gifts for the baby including a hand crocheted baby blanket. She also checked on me asking about how it’s been recovery wise, offering great advice & guidance.
I highly recommend Wild Roots to anyone looking for a supportive, loving and knowledgeable group of birth workers. I look forward to working with them again in the future when we are ready to expand our family again.

We are beyond grateful for our doulas — they were truly heaven-sent. From preparing me mentally, physically, and emotionally for labor to being an incredible source of calm, strength, and guidance during delivery, their presence made all the difference. I felt supported, empowered, and deeply cared for every step of the way. I cannot imagine this experience without them, and I plan to have them by my side for all future pregnancies and births. Highly, highly recommend.

We hired Jacquelyne after having our third baby and she was a LIFESAVER for our family! She was always kind, professional, and helpful. I couldn’t recommend Wild Roots Birth Collective enough whether it’s your first baby or 10th baby!
— Jessica Weiss
Jackie was an incredible support throughout my prenatal, birth, and postpartum journey. She has a calm, grounding presence and always seemed to know just what to say. I felt like I could reach out to her with all my questions and any concerns. She truly listened in a way that made me feel understood and cared for. When it came time for birth, I was so thankful I had her on call. Her intuition was spot on.
Jackie pours her heart into her work. She never made me feel like just another client. She’s easy to talk to, authentic, and compassionate—and you can tell she was born to do this. I felt honored that she would so graciously want to support me and my family.
Her wisdom, generosity, and love for what she does certainly shows through her work. Jackie has been such a gift to me and my family, and we’ll truly miss having her around. She is doing amazing things in this community, and I’m so grateful for her guidance and care.
Thank you, Jackie 🤍

Jacqueline was AMAZING for a doula!!! For next pregnancy I will definitely be using her again!! 5 out of 5 rating!!! You’d never find another doula like her!! ❤️
— Monica Biancardi
I could not recommend Wild Roots enough. The support I received during pregnancy and labor was so beneficial and helpful. I truly had the most peaceful labor and delivery and I very much attribute that to the support I received from Jaqueline and Stephanie! Highly recommend!
— Sydney Jaco
After years of infertility and going through IVF, we were overjoyed to finally become pregnant with our baby girl. I knew I wanted someone experienced to support us through the induction and birth process, and Jackie was absolutely amazing. She was by my side every step of the way. I felt safe, supported, and truly advocated for. I would 100% recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a doula — she is truly exceptional.
— Kaitlin Swarey
I recently had my baby with the incredible support of my mom, who is also a doula. I went in for induction, and after 24 hours of barely laboring, things didn't go as planned, and we ended up needing a C-section. I have to say, having my mom by my side during this process made all the difference in the world.
Even in the midst of the surprises and challenges, she kept me calm and well-informed. Her experience really shone through, as she knew just how to navigate the situation and advocated for me when needed. It was a bit overwhelming, but having her there made me feel a lot more secure.
While things didn’t go the way I had hoped for, I’m grateful for the gentleness and support from both my mom and the medical team. It was a unique experience, and I wouldn’t trade that support for anything. I truly appreciated having someone I trust with me during such an important moment in my life

Jacquelyne will forever hold a dear place in my husband and I hearts. Because of her our dreams to become parents came true. She helped us through Adoption. I met Jacquelyn years ago standing inline for an interview. We really hit it off and became acquaintances. Years went by and many disappointments happened for Preston and I as our dream was to one day become parents. An opportunity arose and Jacquelyne contacted me and asked if I would be interested in adopting a precious baby girl. We was so excited and felt so blessed that god laid our name on jacquelyne‘s heart. Jacquelyne has been there every step of the way with the adoption. She was there for every appointment and going about it the legal way. Jacquelyne was very helpful and never made us feel alone in the entire process. Jacquelyne was also there during the birth of our precious baby girl and made me feel So comfortable. Jacquelyne assisted after our baby girl was born with skin to skin so I was able to bond with her right away. Her professionalism between both parties was extraordinary. She made both parties feel as comfortable as can be through this process. After the birth of our daughter she has still been there and reached out if we needed anything to help this transition go smoothly. We would recommend Jacquelyn 10/10 times to go through this process with. Words can not describe how thankful and grateful we are for her! She was definitely born to be the BEST Doula. 💕

We cannot say enough good things about Jacquelyne, as our postpartum doula. From the very first moment she arrived, it was clear she was born to do this special work. Her dedication to her clients is absolutely unmatched, and it shows in every interaction. Jacquelyne’s love for our baby girl is so obvious—she genuinely cares and forms a bond that is truly heartwarming.
The emotional support she provided was a lifeline for us during those early months. She was always there to listen, offer guidance, and reassure us when things felt overwhelming. She also connected us with helpful resources that we never would have found on our own. Knowing we could reach out to her for advice brought us so much peace of mind.
She also helped us maintain some balance at home. She took care of household chores, ensuring that things didn’t pile up and creating a calm, organized space for us to focus on our new family. This allowed us to rest and truly recharge, which we didn’t even realize we needed as much as we did.
Her communication is impeccable—always clear, timely, and considerate. It’s rare to find someone so in tune with your needs, both as a parent and as a person. Jacquelyne made this transition so much easier for us, and we are forever grateful for her care and support. We would highly recommend her to any family looking for a truly dedicated, loving, and professional postpartum or birth doula - and eventually Midwife. She does this because she loves it and TRULY cares. She will have a special place in our family forever!!💕
