Working with Jessica as our doula was one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy journey. From the very beginning, she was amazing—supportive, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. Her initial consultation and two pre-birth meetings were packed with helpful information that made us feel so empowered and prepared going into labor. During the birth, Jessica was truly in tune with what I needed. She had this calm presence that grounded the whole room, and when we were in the thick of labor and forgot parts of our birth plan, she gently and confidently advocated for us. She also captured the most beautiful photos during the birth—images we’ll treasure forever. What amazed us even more is that her photography never took away from her doula support; she was fully present the entire time—I didn’t even realize she was taking pictures! A few days after our birth, she came over to our home to check in on us, making sure we were all doing well physically, mentally, and emotionally. She brought a huge, delicious jar of homemade bone broth with her, and it felt like the most thoughtful gift. We are beyond thankful for everything Jessica did for us. Her genuine care, compassion, and expertise made all the difference in our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience.

If you and your partner are considering Jess as your Duola - do it! No matter your preferable birthing experience, she will be with you every step of the way. She is kind, resourceful, empathetic, and steadfast. My husband was uncertain of my decision to hire a Duola. However, after a less than favorable birthing experience, neither of us could imagine if she hadn’t been there. In her prenatal visits, Jessica offers a plethora of information and tools to assist you with your birthing experience. My advice: use all of them - they are gold! When my “due date” was approaching and then had passed, she provided sound advice and perspective, without judgment. All of which offered a sense of peace during a time of uncertainty. During the birth, she was a pillar of strength and encouragement through birthing challenges and difficult decisions. Her compassion extended even past the birth when she spent time with me while my husband and our daughter were away in the NICU. To wrap up the whole experience, she came to our home a week or so after the birth to check in, offer (more) helpful information, and bring us homemade bone broth for recovery. There are people that are granted the blessing of finding a god-given talent and profession, this is Jessica’s. We could ramble on and on about our appreciation and gratitude for her, but you’ll know for yourself that you made the right decision within the first few minutes of meeting her. P.s. She has a wonderful and inspiring birth story to tell, I recommend hearing it.

This was my first pregnancy and it was extremely difficult. Jessica was constantly there for me, talking through different ways to hydrate, stretches to ease pain, visualizations, exercises with my partner and always offered prayers and words of encouragement. She helped me pray for the birth of my dreams, a calm, Christ centered birth with low intervention and unmedicated, and although we ended up with an extremely long, complicated labor that ended in an urgent C-Section- Jessica was there for me every step. She talked my mom through her fears of seeing her daughter having an unexpected surgery, and helped my husband find ways to support me effiectivley. When things got scary, she held my hand and affirmed that I knew what to do and that she was there for me. Throughout the whole day, she was there. She never complained or made me feel like an Inconvience, but instead made me feel like the most important person to her at that moment. Her empathy is unmatched, and I knew that no matter what was happening she was my advocate and my friend. After 33 hours of total labor and 9 hours of her being there with me, she helped us welcome our precious girl. She prepped me for the c section emotionally and was a a wealth of knowledge as she helped calm our fears. She reminded me that my body was made for this, even if it looked different than we had hoped. We are so thankful for her, and all that she did to support us in a beautiful, but scary day. She will always be an important person to us, forever a part of our family.

I cannot recommend Jessica enough. While birth can feel so overwhelming, Jessica was the calm in the storm. She guided us through every step, and I never could have achieved my birth goals without her wisdom, support, and guidance. I always felt heard and safe, and am truly grateful for her advocacy during our hospital birth. As if that wasn't enough, we now have beautiful photos to remember our baby boy’s entrance into the world!

Going into my second pregnancy, I already knew I wanted things to be polar different from my hospital birth. I dreamed of having this beautiful experience where I listened and worked with my body in a space that I was most comfortable in, my home. Meeting Jessica and having her guide us during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum was a godsend. She is so knowledgeable and was able to listen and calm all our worries. Having her explain which stretches I should be doing and how they will help me in pregnancy and labor contributed to me having minimal sciatic nerve pain, which often left me unable to walk in my first pregnancy, and an easier birth. I could not be more grateful for all her support, and encouragement to trust my body. Eternally thankful for her guiding my husband during labor, so he could be my biggest support, making our birth story so much more special. My only regret is that I didn’t meet her sooner, so I could have been just as empowered at my first birth.

We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding support Jessica provided as our doula during the birth of our son. From the moment we started working together, she was a reassuring and invaluable presence throughout the entire pregnancy. Her guidance helped us feel confident and well-prepared as we created a detailed birth plan tailored to our wishes. When labor began, Jessica was available immediately, and her presence made all the difference. She was extremely supportive and calm during the fast and intense delivery, helping us stay focused and on track. Her advocacy ensured that our wishes were respected, and her encouragement during labor was always perfectly timed and full of wisdom. Thanks to her dedication, we were able to navigate the craziness of the birth process with clarity and peace of mind. We can’t imagine going through that experience without her by our side. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone embarking on a pregnancy journey—she is truly incredible.

My wife and I found Jessica back in the summer of 2024 and immediately felt a connection. Her approach to pregnancy, birth, and parenthood aligned very well with ours and she instantly came off as credible, incredibly friendly and super personable. I will never forget the way she made us feel at ease about our upcoming journey especially as a couple who lives 2100 miles away from family and instilled a sense of maternal calm in both of us. Once we selected her, she remained very accessable and responsive to all questions, making us feel like her only client and going out of her way to provide personal, thoughtful answers. The same level of detail came through in the two pre-birth visits and we felt so supported leading up to the big day. Even with the bar so high, Jessica outdid herself on the actual birth day, bringing a confidence and energy to the room for nearly 16 hours of labor and 3 postpartum. Her experience showed immediately and helped my wife remain calm and relaxed. I won't forget how she added tea lights to the bathroom / tub area to help create a serene space. My wife stayed at 9cm for nearly four hours and almost abandoned her natural birth plan...until Jessica intervened and helped her naturally move from contracting to pushing in a beautiful manner. I was overwhelmed watching the moment transpire as I got to see Natalie bear down and her mentality shift, all thanks to Jessica's demenaor and ability to filter out the noise and help her dig deep. After the birth she stuck around and looked after us even though this was her second birth of the day. When she ultimately shared the beautiful pictures she took and they have become our favorite keepsakes of the early days of parenthood. I can't recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for a transformative birth experience and hope we have a reason to use her again!

If you are on the fence about hiring a doula, this is your sign to work with Jessica! My first birth did not go as planned (in the best way possible). I went into my first birth with a plan to get an epidural. When labor began, things escalated quicker than I anticipated. I had the last minute option to get an epidural and to my surprise, I denied it and had a successful unmediated birth. I can confidently say this would not have been possible without Jesssica. She made me feel so empowered during labor and I was able to trust that my body knew what to do. She was also the greatest advocate for my husband and I. We have said multiple times "hiring Jessica is the best decision we made". I truly do not have enough good things to say about my experience with Jessica! We will absolutely work with her again if we decide to have more kiddos. :)

We hired Jessica as our doula for our second birth and from our first meeting she was so warm and easy to connect with. Even though it was my second birth, I felt like I learned so much through working with Jessica. She brings a wealth of knowledge and made us feel so confident and supported throughout our pregnancy and birth. I loved how available she was throughout the pregnancy with whatever questions I had. Our prenatal appointments felt so helpful in giving us tools to practice and prep for birth and also ease pregnancy discomforts. She also has such a calming presence, the moment she showed up for the birth I immediately felt more peaceful as she coached me through relaxing my body. I cannot recommend her enough!

I am so thankful that I found Jessica! I was on the fence about hiring a Doula since I was giving birth at a birth center with a midwife. But after working with Jessica, I couldn't imagine not having her there for us. She was such a comforting presence with us through the whole process, from our prenatal consults and through the birth. She was also an amazing resource for us postpartum, always being there with answers to all my questions. I felt so empowered going into and through the birth with her coaching us through what to do according to our wishes. She helped me in discovering what I wanted my birth to look like, and helped us walk it out almost to t. My husband and I could not recommend her enough!
