Jessica Heindorf - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Jessica

My name is Jessica and I am a certified Birth/Postpartum Doula and Placenta Specialist located in Syracuse, NY. My passion is pregnancy and birth. My own pregnancies drew me into birth work. I am a mom of 5, one being in heaven. My children are between 8 and 15 years old, 2 boys and 2 girls. Three are heavily involved in sports (baseball and hockey) and one loves theater and art. People ask how I fit it all in? I make it work. I love this work and it brings me joy in helping other families. I want to help create a better birth/postpartum period with compassionate care for my families. I have been a doula since 2021 and have attended 70+ births, and I have given postpartum support to 45+ families. I love what I do, and my clients can attest that it shows. Birth is one of the most memorable moments in our lives. I became a doula in order to help my clients navigate the journey through their pregnancy and birth. Consider me your pocket guide to birth. My clients go into their birth with the knowledge and confidence to make educated decisions. I am there to fully support those decisions they make. I am now also a placenta specialist. Whether you are looking to have your placenta encapsulated for ease to take or are looking for beautiful keepsakes like a placenta print or cord keepsake, contact me.
