About Jannelle

What to expect

I provide birth and postpartum support that focuses on feeling safe, healing, bonding, and nourishing of the birthing parent - as it has a rippling effect on the rest of the family. I believe in holistic healing and evidence-based approach. I'm mother-centric during postpartum and clearly distinguish postpartum support from newborn care.

Jannelle was such a blessing during my pregnancy, the birth of our beautiful son, and even postpartum! My partner and I learned so much and became so empowered through Jannelle in the weeks leading up to meeting our baby boy. And even though things didn't go exactly how I'd imagined them through my birth plan, she was there for us every step of the way and I know we both had so much more courage and strength with her by our side in the delivery room. The postpartum visits were so welcome and needed, especially as a first time mom. She helped ease by fears and anxiety, and made getting through the first month so much easier on all of us as a family. I truly think the world of Jannelle and am so grateful to have her a part of our journey.

Janelle was supportive and helped me to advocate for myself in moments I had not done before. She also gave me a lot of resources to help support me. She even advocated for me with some resources and got me supported. Having a doula definitely made my last birthing experience better. Thank you Jannelle for being apart of my village before birth, during birth and afterbirth. I truly appreciate you!

Frequently asked questions

When will you show up to my labor?

I will do check-ins during early labor and if you're coping well, I will leave you and your family to labor. When things start to get spicy or you're ready to head to hospital/birthing center, I will join you in active labor. If you're having a home birth, I will head over to help set up the birthing pool/area and help you reach the midwives when I feel you're approaching active labor.

Do you offer payment plans?

I do! I'm pretty flexible with payment plans, but the entire payment is due by your full-term (37 weeks) mark. I understand things change financially - just keep me in the loop as I'm pretty understanding.

Do you have childbirth classes?

I do! I offer an express childbirth class, as well as topic troves where I dive deeper into areas you may be more unfamiliar with or have concerns. My classes can be 1:1 or if you bring a friend, given at a discount rate.

Do you only do homebirths?

No, I support all births anywhere! As long as a provider (OB/Midwife) is present/on their way.

How many families have you supported?

To date, over 60 families.

How many families do you support per month?

I take on one birth and one postpartum per month.

Jannelle's Postpartum Refresh package is $275 USD, flat rate. Jannelle lists 7 packages in all.
