About me

I believe that childbirth is very intense, hard work, but is not designed to be traumatic, that children are a blessing from the Lord, and in most cases, the discomfort that comes with the WORK of childbirth can be managed well through mental, emotional, physical and spiritual conditioning to promote a smoother transition from the womb to the world.. It is my pleasure to teach and guide parents how to do just that.

I cannot express our level of appreciation or find enough kind words about Jenn! My husband and I were blessed enough to take her birth course & we both were thoroughly amazed by the amount of knowledge she shares and valuable information. The level of comfort and peace I felt after her class is beyond measure. As a first time mom, I went in with nerves and tons of questions. Jenn delivers the information with such compassion and her loving personality shines through with everything she does.

We loved our time with Jenn and learned so much during our Calm Birth Classes. She is a wonderful teacher and has a fun way of communicating what she is teaching. After each class she provides a summary of what we talked about and more! Love having the option to refer back to our lessons to review. Jenn was also our Doula and we are so grateful for the support she provided all throughout my pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Jenn has a gentle spirit and will also speak truth and love! Having her during the labor of my daughter was a gift. She truly loves what she does and the people she gets to care for. -Maricel & Ray

Absolutely loved this class! Jenn is so awesome, always being so positive. My husband and I went into the class a little scared, but came out feeling so empowered and excited. Jenn was so joyful and informative, we felt really prepared. We ended up having an amazing birth and credit this class and Jenn. Would love to take it again! 10/10 recommend

We really enjoyed the calm birth class facilitated by Jenn. We are first time parents and she was very approachable, humorous and knowledgeable. We both feel much more confident and empowered to make informed decisions in childbirth and that we have some skills in our toolbox of how to cope with pain in a natural childbirth. We would recommend her to other first time parents.

I'm a first time mama, planning to have my baby at a birth center and Miss Jenn was such a wonderful birth class teacher. I attended the five week long Calm Birth class and Jenn was a pleasure to work with. She is energetic and fun, very sweet and very informative; my husband and I really enjoyed our experience and time with her and would highly recommend her to any other first time mama or any mama who would like an informed birth. Thank you Miss Jenn!

Jen was my Doula and I wouldn't change a thing. If I had another baby, she would be my go to. She was an amazing coach, teacher and friend throughout the process.

It was great working with Jenn. We went through her birth class before delivery and learned so much that we chose her as our doula. When our son was born, she also taught us different techniques.

Jenn has been a god send! She kept me calm throughout my pregnancy and eased any of my worries. Educated me on my pregnancy. Was there for me through my prenatal depression. Guided me through my labor and cut my daughter’s imbecile cord. As a single mother. She was a calm amidst the storm. She became family. Assured me that everything was okay.

Frequently asked questions

I have a great doctor or midwife, and will have a nurse. Do I really need a doula, too?

Doulas, doctors, midwives, and nurses all take on separate and unique roles in supporting birth. Each one is important part of the birth team, and all work together to help the laboring woman have a healthy and positive experience. The nurse is responsible for charting, monitoring, and reporting to the doctor or midwife, sometimes for several patients at once. Physicians and midwives are highly trained as medical experts, and are responsible for monitoring the safety of the mother and baby during labor and delivery. A doula remains a constant presence throughout labor, focusing entirely on providing comfort for the laboring mom and her partner. A doula’s job is not to replace any part of the medical team, but to complement their roles by providing constant support and information to the mom and her partner.

I’m not sure that I want a “stranger” in the delivery room with me. Isn’t birth supposed to be private?

Birth is indeed an intimate experience, and the doula is a professional who will respect your wishes regarding privacy and modesty. Consdier this: due to the more intimate role of the doula, often times, she will be the only professional in the room that has had an opportunity to build a strong rapport with the laboring woman and her birth partner... especially in a hospital setting, where the mom is meeting most, if not all, of the staff for the first time. Many women and their partners report feeling more secure due to the presence of a doula. Additionally, if a mama is laboring at home or in a birth center, and needs to transfer to a hospital setting, the presence of the doula is often the only continuity of care she receives from the professionals involved.

What areas do you cover?

I cover Orlando, FL and its surrounding areas, including, but not limited to: Titusville, Cape Canaveral, Melbourne, Palm Bay, Deltona, Clermont, Daytona Beach and more.

Are the costs of your services covered by insurance?

I am certified with The Doula Network, which covers insurance from the following providers: Aetna Clear Health Alliance Florida Community Care Milina Healthcare Simply Healthcare United Healthcare Vivida Health You can make a request for me directly by following this link: https://tdn.healthviewx.com/

I am already taking childbirth classes. Why would I need a doula?

Doulas are intended to enhance – not replace – the services of your childbirth instructor. Your doula will be with you to remind you at appropriate times during labor of the things you have already learned in childbirth class. However, I do offer childbirth education and will take off $100 of my doula services for anyone who completes my 5-week childbirth education course, or $50 for those who complete my childbirth refresher course.

I’ve already taken another class. Would you still be my doula?

Absolutely! I can work comfortably with any laboring woman, who is comfortable working with me.

Do I need a doula if I already have someone (my mom, my partner, my friend) to be with me during my labor and birth?

It is certainly wonderful for a laboring woman to have the presence of others who love her. They bring the security of the history they share with the laboring mom. A doula will enhance the support that others will provide, without being intrusive. Often, your doula has a level of knowledge and experience that your partner / family member may not, having given her time and energy to the study of pregnancy physiology, a large variety of comfort measures, and different laboring and pushing positions. Additionally, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, and dear friends each have their own emotional response to seeing the woman they love experience labor, and to welcoming this new child into their lives. A doula will respect that this is a special moment for each person, and will gently provide encouragement, information and reassurance that will help a woman’s loved ones offer their support in a way that also respects the laboring woman’s needs.

What’s a doula?

The term doula, originally from the Greek word meaning “woman’s servant,” is used today to describe a professional who provides women with emotional and physical support during pregnancy, labor, birth and the postpartum period.

What does a birth doula do?

A birth doula provides a listening ear for the emotional process of pregnancy, physical comfort suggestions during pregnancy and labor and informational support for both the laboring mom and her partner. The doula is knowledgeable about the entire birth process, possesses skills to help a laboring mom cope with the physical experience and emotions of labor and understands the importance of this event in the life of the couple. The doula will provide support for the expectant parents and baby by helping mom & dad formulate questions, gather information, and discuss the options available with the medical staff. The doula will not perform clinical tasks, and will never make decisions on behalf of a woman. A Doula will always respect that it is up to the mother to make the informed choice that is best for her. Most importantly, the doula uses her skills to complement those of the woman’s partner and medical providers, helping to ensure a satisfying birth memory.

At what point in my pregnancy should I contact a doula?

The earlier the better! Although the benefits of having a doula for your birth will be the same whether you contact her at 12 weeks or at 35 weeks, the difference in finding your doula early in pregnancy is that you’ll have someone you know that you can call on with those “Is this normal?” or “What does this mean?” sort of phone calls throughout your pregnancy. As well, the longer you have known your doula, the more of a relationship you will build. Furthermore, you don't want to run into the problem of non-availability due to late notice, so it is a good idea to make contact soon, so that I can be sure to be available for you. With that said, there is no such thing as “too late” to find a doula. You will benefit from doula support, whether you have known your doula for months, or merely days.
