About Janet

Hello! My name is Janet. I have over 15+ years of experience as a Doula and Birth Educator. I am passionate about the work I do and honored to share your birth journey with you. I teach Birth Education Classes online and in your home if you are local to me., All classes include a postpartum follow up and postpartum check-ins as needed. I attend births as a Doula on a limited basis, generally taking one client per month. I have experience supporting clients that are giving birth at home, in the hospital or a birth center. I will assist you in creating a birth plan if you desire one. Together we will discuss what your plans are for your birth, whether you plan to go unmedicated, or desire pain medication. You will have support from an experienced Doula to make sure your questions are answered and you have the tools you need to feel confident and empowered. I facilitate an online VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) Support Group which helps those who are planning a VBAC or want to learn how to avoid a primary cesarean. I’m looking forward to meeting you and assisting you on your pregnancy journey!

Where to start? My husband and I met Janet earlier in our pregnancy when we decided we wanted to have a doula for our first birthing experience. As soon as I spoke with Janet, I knew it was going to be a great match. Janet not only took care of me, she also made sure my husband was taken care of. During our prenatal meetings, she asked us a lot of questions about what we wanted for our birth experience and took our wishes very seriously. She did not try to push anything onto us and made sure we were making educated decisions on subjects we weren’t as familiar with. Janet came with an abundance of resources and knowledge, as well as a lot of experience. Leading up to the day I went into labor, Janet and I spoke on a very regular basis via text and she was always available for any questions I had. During my labor, Janet helped to remind me the techniques we discussed in our prenatal meetings and to take things one contraction at a time. I am so thankful for her and could not recommend her doula services more.

Janet helped me have my dream birth and was instrumental in my vbac. Her calming presence and support before, during, and after birth is something I will never be able to repay her for. Thank you Janet!

We spoke with a few doulas and were honestly unsure if hiring one was even right for us—but the moment we talked with Janet, we knew she was the perfect fit. She made every part of our pregnancy better. From educating us and preparing us for what to expect, to consistently checking in on mom and dad, to guiding us through early labor and being at our side during delivery, Janet was everything we needed and more. Her calm demeanor helped us stay grounded, she supported us in sticking to our birth plan, and she was the ideal advocate and support person throughout the entire process. Our doctors and medical team raved about her—her professionalism, her deep knowledge, and the genuine care she showed for us as a family. Even after delivery, Janet has continued to check in, offer guidance, and be a trusted resource whenever we need her. We truly couldn’t tell the story of our daughter’s birth without including Janet. She was an incredible part of our journey, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Frequently asked questions

Can I contact you after classes are over?

Yes! You can contact me with questions throughout your pregnancy and postpartum. We will arrange a postpartum follow up within 3 weeks of your baby’s birth.

I’m scheduling a c-section, I don’t think I need a birth class?

I agree you may not need to take my full series of classes. An option would be an online worship entitled Coping Techniques for Labor. There is a possibility labor can begin before your scheduled date.

When is the best time to start classes?

You can take classes at anytime during your pregnancy. Ideally sometime during your second trimester and make sure the last class is completed by your 35th week.

I know I want the epidural, do I still need to take classes?

Absolutely yes! Sometimes birth can happen so quickly there isn’t time to place an epidural so you want to be prepared. I will discuss the pros and cons of getting an epidural, what to expect once it’s placed and how the timing of the epidural can affect labor.
