About Janine

Peace & Blessings, Mama! I'm JahNine, aka NeeNee ;)and I am so grateful that you've taken the time to check out my offerings. I would be so honored to be of service to you at this time, so feel free to reach out to me with questions or to set up a time to chat further. As a mother of 4 and having attended over 40 births, I am convinced that DOULAS are NECESSARY and PIVOTAL in having a positive birth experience overall. My purpose is always to bring the Sacred into all I do, and I would love to share that energy with you! I am here to remind you of how powerful and capable you are! Gratitude and deep breaths!

Sacred 40 day PostPartum care (see GLOW for details)

My greatest pleasure is serving women after birth. My PP care is designed to help you come back into your body gently and with intention. It is my belief and scientific fact that women need REST for several weeks after birthing. I will pamper you with massage, delicious, nourishing foods, serious self care rituals complete with handmade goodies, and of course baby care and breastfeeding support during our time together. ​ I also understand the importance of sibling bonding. My sibling support services aim to involve older and younger siblings in the new family dynamics. This is included in my visits if there are siblings in the home. *See Glow for package details

What to expect

My approach to every birth is the same- to treat it as SACRED. This means combining my knowledge in many areas to create a birth experience that makes you feel physically and mentally prepared, as well as Informed and Empowered. My approach combines expert knowledge in labor and birth support, nutrition, infant care, and fertility support, with the wisdom of Ayurveda, energy healing, and spiritual guidance, along with lived experience as a Mother of 4. I believe in nurturing the mind, body, and spirit to create a harmonious experience for both mother and child. Together, we will embrace this transformative time with time love and care, and honor the Sacredness of Birth.

Having NiNi as your doula is the best thing you could possibly do for yourself and I mean that! She was there every step of the way, which I know wasn't easy because my anxiety was soooo high and I must have texted her at least 100 times throughout my pregnancy haha! She ALWAYS took the time to calm my worries and reassure me about whatever I was stressing about. But she didn't just calm me she prepared me for it all. I began this pregnancy scared because it was so unexpected and I didn't feel ready to deal with everything that comes with a pregnancy. it's soooo overwhelming because there are so many things you have to be aware of. Well I learned all about everything with NiNi. She introduced me to so many things. I never took herbs before, never did yoga or meditation. and now I do it regularly. My birth experience was so amazing!! I was positive I would be getting the epidural as soon as entering the birthing center- but NiNi and I worked those curbs and did our breathing techniques and she had my husband helping with the hip squeezes....by the time we got to the hospital I only had to push for 20 minutes or so and my baby boy made his appearance!! I have no words for how proud of myself I was! I just couldn't believe it. She really helped me see that I CAN and DID do that without drugs!! I plan to refer her to anyone I know who is pregnant because this lady is a blessing. Thank you again and whoever is reading this- hire her immediately. She goes out of her way to take care of you and treats you like a Goddess and that alone was worth the money. My husband now has to step his game up haha! But all jokes aside- I didn't even know what a doula was before this pregnancy and now I will never give birth without one again- if I do it again.

Frequently asked questions

insurance? payment arrangements? Sliding scale?

So I do accept insurance- But I've never had an insurance company pay me directly. The way it works with most insurance companies is you pay first and then they reimburse you. I supply you with a detailed invoice complete with EIN and it is super easy. Unfortunately, I do not accept Medicaid at this time, but will update as soon as I make that available. I can work with you on payments if you are in need. Just ask!! ;)
