About me
My name is Jennifer West of tend•her and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula and a birth keeper who supports families in Calgary, Alberta and the surrounding communities. I also support women virtually which allows me to tend women all over the world. My goal and my passion is to support women no matter what birth they are choosing to have. At home, at the hospital, assisted and unassisted, I believe all women deserve the high level of care and support I give.

Service introduction
Through tend•her, I offer care that goes beyond appointments and checklists. Pregnancy is a major transition, and you deserve to feel supported in a way that is steady and personal. Our visits are a chance to slow down, connect with your body, and prepare for birth in a way that aligns with your values. We combine practical preparation with traditional wisdom, from nourishment and movement to herbs and meaningful conversation. When it is time to welcome your baby, I stay close with calm, grounded support. I offer reassurance, comfort measures, and steady presence that adapts to what is unfolding in the moment. After birth, I continue supporting you as you move into motherhood. Postpartum care may include herbal teas, nourishing food, newborn guidance, or simply time to rest while someone capable and compassionate is beside you. We also make space to process your experience and honor your story. Every family is different, so care is flexible and built around your needs. At the heart of tend•her is the belief that you deserve to feel supported, respected, and steady as you bring new life into the world.

Postpartum Support
Care doesn’t end with birth, it deepens. This package is devoted entirely to your fourth trimester. I come alongside you in the tender early weeks with visits that can include newborn care guidance, feeding support, herbal and nutritional tending, help around the home, or simply listening as you share your birth story.
Together we’ll create a rhythm that feels supportive and restorative whether that’s one long visit each week, or shorter, more frequent check-ins. Postpartum Support is about rest, nourishment, and helping you feel seen and held as you step into life with your new baby.

Overnight Postpartum Support
The night hours can feel especially tender in the early weeks. Overnight Support offers you the gift of rest while knowing your baby is lovingly cared for. During these hours, I tend to your little one — soothing, feeding, and settling — while you sleep and recover. If you are breastfeeding, I bring baby to you when it’s time, and handle the rest so you can drift back into rest with ease.
These nights aren’t just about sleep, they’re about rebuilding your strength, softening the overwhelm, and helping your household find its rhythm again. Overnight Support ensures you wake feeling more grounded, nourished, and ready for the day ahead.

Pregnancy Guidance
Sometimes what’s most needed in pregnancy is steady guidance, even if you’re not ready for full doula support. These sessions are a space just for you to ask questions, process your feelings, explore your birth preferences, and receive holistic tending as you prepare for your baby.
Pregnancy Guidance may include nutritional and herbal support, movement practices for comfort, creating rituals to honor your transition, or simply having your story witnessed without judgment. Each session is flexible and shaped around what you most need in the moment.
This offering is for those who want companionship and clarity during pregnancy, even if I won’t be present at the birth. It’s about feeling held, informed, and supported as you walk toward motherhood.
Price is per 2 hour session
