For decadesI have worked with expectant and new parents as a childbirth educator (certified with ICEA), doula (certified with DONA and Hypnobabies), Bringing Baby Home educator and a retired nurse. I consider it an honor to help couples along this journey toward parenthood. I also have a masters degree in counseling and have been a couples therapist for years and recently became board certified as a mental health coach.

Janet is truly a professional- we felt so prepared for our baby to come into this world knowing she was going to be by our side the entire way. We are so thankful for her and all of her expertise. Would highly recommend!

Janet provided an incredible sense of calm during my second birth experience for our growing family. We had just moved to Jax and needed her wisdom through the noise of all the new-ness in our lives. Janet has endless amounts of love, care and prayers for every situation. We highly recommend Janet!

Janet is super special to our family. She attended all 4 of our births over the span of 9 years. Her calm demeanor, wisdom, and guidance was a blessing for my husband and I. She was there every step of the way with prayer and affirmations, the right physical touch, and suggestions for how to get baby down. We love Janet!

Working with Janet was one of the greatest gifts during such a tender season of my motherhood journey. My mother had just been diagnosed with breast cancer and was unable to be in the labor and delivery space with me. Janet stepped into that tender space to love, comfort and support me. She didn’t just help care for our baby. She cared for my heart, my home, and my family with such intentionality, peace, and Christ centered wisdom. She carried herself with gentleness, humility, and discernment, while also bringing practical support that truly lifted the weight off our shoulders. Any family would be deeply blessed to have her walk alongside them in the postpartum season. She brings peace, wisdom, intentionality, and the love of Christ into a space that desperately needs all four.

Janet helped make our birthing experience wonderful! I felt so prepared and supported going into labor with her by our side. We highly recommend her services.

Janet has been our doula for all three of our children‘s births, one in a hospital setting and two in a midwife led birth centre. Janet’s vast experience allowed her to support me in three unmedicated births, she used counter pressure, massage, positioning and support to help me labour and deliver. My last baby I had in a birth pool and she helped me through the final stages of labour even when in the water. We highly recommend Janet as a great birth team member, we wouldn’t give birth without her!
— Miriam S.
Janet is highly experienced, a calm and authoritative presence when you need an anchor and brings confidence to the birthing experience. I have had two very different unmedicated births, both powerful and positive and Janet’s presence helped us immensely.
