About me

Hi! I'm Jen. I am passionate about birth! I have been a Certified Birth Doula for 11 years, and a labor and delivery registered nurse for 2 years. I have seen firsthand how important education is in the birthing space, and am also an Evidence Based Birth Instructor. Education, Self advocacy and creating a good birth team positively impacts outcomes in EVERY situation. I have experienced the full spectrum of birth, from intimate home births to high risk inductions. From parents catching their own babies to stat cesareans. I love what I do! I also love cats, gardening, family time, blending herbal remedies, and hanging out with my friends drinking coffee.
