As a mother of three, I've walked the journey of birth and parenthood with both uncertainty and empowerment. My own experiences have taught me the profound impact that supportive care and holistic approach can have on a woman's transition into motherhood.
At 20, I became a mom to my daughter Ava, navigating a medicated 12-hour labor and the challenges that followed. Despite the difficulties, I was determined to grow and learn. With my second child, Maxim, I discovered the strength of my body and the power of natural birth.
However, it wasn't until the birth of my third child, Natalie, that I truly embodied the transformative potential of holistic birth and parenting. Through dedicated preparation, self-care, and community support, I cultivated a profound trust in my own abilities and the natural process of birth.
As a certified doula through The Matrona, I've been blessed to learn from the wisdom of Whapio and the Matrona lineage. I strive to bring the knowledge and heart-centered approach of these wise women to every birth I attend, honoring the sacredness and individuality of each family's journey.
As a holistic doula, I'm devoted to creating a nurturing space for women to tap into their own strength, resilience, and intuition. I believe that every woman deserves to be seen, heard, and supported throughout her journey into motherhood. My heart is committed to guiding women in embracing their unique experiences, trusting their inner wisdom, and unfolding into the fullness of their own power.

It was so wonderful having Jessica support me through my labor and delivery. She made me feel comfortable and was so helpful offering different techniques to try to work through the contractions and pushing phase. I am so thankful to have had her help!

Frequently asked questions
What is a holistic doula?
A holistic doula provides emotional, physical, and spiritual support during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. I offer a conscious, compassionate and non-judgmental space for you to explore your needs and desires.

Yes, I am certified through The Matrona.
Who is The Matrona?
The Matrona represents a holistic and spiritual approach to childbirth, motherhood, and womanhood, centered on empowering women to trust their innate abilities and inner wisdom, as beautifully created by God. This approach honors the sacredness of life, respects the natural process of childbirth, and emphasizes nurturing and support during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. The Matrona believes in the power of physiologic birth, allowing women to tap into their body's natural ability to birth their babies, free from unnecessary interventions. This approach views childbirth as a transformative experience and motherhood as a journey of love, care, and devotion, reflecting the values of compassion, kindness, and selflessness. As a holistic doula trained in the Matrona approach, my role is to provide loving support, guidance, and care, helping women connect with their inner selves, their babies, and their communities, as they navigate the journey of motherhood.
What is my approach as a holistic doula?
My approach is centered on providing compassionate and individualized care, guided by a deep respect for the dignity and worth of every family. I empower clients to make informed decisions about their care, while creating a safe and nurturing environment for them to explore their needs and desires. Through prayerful consideration and a commitment to serving others, I strive to provide support that is holistic, loving, and tailored to each family's unique needs. Whether it's supporting clients through labor and birth, providing emotional support during the postpartum period, or offering guidance on holistic practices for pregnancy and parenting, my goal is to walk alongside families as they navigate this sacred journey.

I will support you during the postpartum period by providing nurturing care, emotional support, and spiritual guidance. I will create a safe and sacred space for you to rest, heal, and bond with your babies, honoring the physical, emotional, and spiritual changes you are experiencing. I will offer practical support with breastfeeding, newborn care, and household tasks, while also providing emotional validation, active listening, and reassurance.
