About Jill

Hi! I’m Jill, owner of Birth Blessings Doula Services, LLC. My interest in becoming a doula started with my first pregnancy and birth journey. I was 29 years old when I became pregnant with my first child, and I quickly realized how much I LOVED everything relating to pregnancy and childbirth. My birth didn’t go as “planned” and my first baby was born via cesarean. As amazing and supportive as my husband was, looking back I realized how helpful it would have been, for both of us, to have non-hospital staff to guide us through our labor and delivery. Someone that would answer questions, help us know our choices in a non-biased manner, remind us of our plan when we needed reminding, and to offer emotional support when our plan took a detour. I knew that someday I wanted to work with pregnant women and families to help in that way. Fast-forward 16 years, four VBACs, and one miscarriage and here I am: fulfilling the calling the Lord placed on my life by becoming a certified doula supporting other mamas! Being a doula isn’t just my job, but my passion! I enjoy learning about all things pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. I am always on the lookout for new training and certifications to expand my knowledge and allow me to better help my clients. It is an honor to work with families in the most miraculous times in their lives. As a birth doula, my goal is to help you feel supported (physically, emotionally, and educationally) and empowered so you can make the best decisions for you and your baby. Having five children, I know firsthand the ups and downs of the postpartum period. As a postpartum doula, I will be there to “lighten your load” while your household adjusts to the wonderful addition of having a new baby. I truly enjoy providing warm, professional support for pregnant women and their families.

After finding out I was pregnant and wanting to be very intentional/confident for what the first 9 months were going to involve, I was fortunate to recieve information through the library about a doula who worked in my area. Elated to have found someone, I reached out to Jill. I met with both Jill and Elizabeth and got to learn more about what exactly a doula is and how they help a mother and her baby (while also honoring and educating the fathers walking this journey as well). First thing was that I saw was not only were these women so incredibly knowledgeable about pregnancy, labor, delivery, breastfeeding, postpartum, ect. they also deeply cared about their clients and look to find ways that ensure safety, trust, and joy throughout the mother's journey-always in the mother's corner. I appreciated all of the information they had and knew my husband would have more comfort moving forward with more education surrounding pregnancy and child birth. Through my pregnancy and labor, I went through really intense pain and had to pivot from what I originally wanted as my "labor and delivery wish". But both Jill and Elizabeth were there with us every step of the way and so encouraging and supportive through it all. Also stepping in at the hospital to ensure that I was as comfortable as I could be, making sure there were no students coming in, making sure I worked with women only, and that my care would be through someone who has done delivery before-things I would have never thought to have asked for in the midst of a very intense labor! But my son arrived after a very long labor, these women not leaving my side, and it was the best day of my life knowing how much work went into getting him here. I will forever be grateful for these two women and the care they gave us, alongside struggles with postpartum and being new (and exhausted) first time parents, to make sure that we felt supported as a new family through it all. I would HIGHLY recommend Birth Blessings Doula for any mama who is looking for sincere care and support in her decision for the birth that she wants.

We cannot recommend Jill enough! She was a wonderful support for the birth of our 2nd baby. If we were having more children, we would have her back in a heartbeat. She listened, guided, supported, and was our biggest advocate. Thank you, Jill!

My biggest mistake was not having this experience with my first baby, but only with my second! Since it was my second baby, labor started earlier than expected. Jill arrived even before my husband and immediately helped ease the intensity of my contractions. My labor started early in the morning, and I was so exhausted that I didn’t even have the energy to drink water—I felt like I might pass out at times. But Jill’s calm, soothing voice and her massage were incredibly helpful—honestly, surprisingly so. The breathing techniques and positions she guided me through not only helped manage the pain but also made a big difference when it was time to push. She also paid close attention to the things my husband and I had talked about in advance—helping communicate with the nurses and guiding us on what was necessary and what wasn’t, which made everything feel so much smoother. I’m so truly grateful to Jill for turning what could have been just a painful experience into something truly special and unforgettable. 💞

Frequently asked questions

I have a supportive partner, why do I need a doula?

First of all, I'm so glad you have a supportive partner. Your partner has a role to fulfill, and that is to help you feel safe and loved. Your partner knows you in a way I never will. But I know birth. Your partner doesn't have to remember what movements are most beneficial when baby is at -1 station- I know that. Your partner doesn't have to worry that you'll be left alone when he needs to use the restroom, get something to eat, or (for a long labor) take a nap- because I'm there with you. Your partner doesn't have to remember the comfort measures, breathing techniques, or medical jargon- because I'm there with you. I am also there to support your partner- after all it is the birth of his baby also. So, I'll remind him to eat and drink and rest. I'll remind him that you are OK and that him telling you how strong you are is more than enough. I'm here for both of you. For more information on the evidence on having a doula, check out: Evidence-Based Birth: The Evidence for Doulas Specifically: "The results showed a substantial improvement in outcomes for women who had both a birth partner and a doula, compared to having a birth partner alone. The Cesarean rate for these first-time mothers was 25% in the group with a partner only, and 13.4% in the group with a partner and doula. The women who had their labor medically induced experienced an even more striking decrease in the Cesarean rate with a doula—the Cesarean rate with labor inductions was 58.8% in the group without a doula, and 12.5% in the group with a doula. Also, fewer women in the doula group required an epidural (64.7%) compared to those without a doula (76%). Research has shown that the most positive birth experiences for fathers were ones where they had continuous support by a doula or a midwife. In the McGrath and Kennell study, the women and their partners who had a doula overwhelmingly rated the support of their doula as positive—with 93% rating their experience with the doula as very positive, and 7% as positive. In other studies, fathers have said that when they had labor support from a midwife or doula, things were explained to them, their questions were answered, their labor support efforts were guided and effective, and they could take breaks from the emotional intensity of the labor without abandoning their laboring partner (Johansson 2015). Doulas can educate partners not only about birth, but also about how to advocate for the birthing person (Ochapa et al. 2023; Oparah et al. 2023)."

When is the best time to hire a doula?

There really is no "best" time. I've been hired as soon as the pregnancy test was positive, hired 2 weeks before the client gave birth, and every time in between! The biggest downside to waiting to hire a doula is that you are taking the chance the doula you want is no longer available. Some doulas will take 8 or more clients a month. I don't do that- I take a limited number of clients per month which means the longer you wait, the greater the chance that I'm not taking any more clients around your estimated due date.
