Jessica Ruscetta

NPI verified Accepts insurance

My name is Jessica Ruscetta (she/her) and I am a birth & postpartum doula, lactation counselor, childbirth educator placenta encapsulator, wife, mother and adventure traveler. I love to work with families during one of the most wonderful, crazy, life-changing times in their lives, when they are expecting a new baby! I also love mentoring new doulas and hearing all about people's journey to birth work.

We found Jessica on the DONA International website. This was our first pregnancy and we knew we wanted the support of a Birth Doula. Her credentials stood out to us, and after reading more about her on her website, I knew I wanted to meet her in person. What stood out the most to us was her story about how she stepped into this line of work. As a mother herself, Jess has personal experience with giving birth and after having two radically different birth experiences, she deep dove into being a childbirth educator and doula so that she could better educate and support her clients. She brings a wealth of knowledge into her work and it’s very clear she’s passionate about working with others on this journey. She was responsive, professional, grounding, and nurturing throughout our time working with her. We were beyond grateful to have her as part of our birth team! We also utilized her placenta encapsulation services after delivery, which she hand delivered promptly with clear instructions. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Jessica would be held with loving support during such a magical time.

First off I will start by saying Julie is amazing ! She stepped in just days home from our NICU journey and has been a saving grace for our family ! She is efficient and pays close attention to detail , we have one kiddo with complexity’s and she was very fast to learn the way we do things at home, she provides excellent care and we would never have made it the first few months without her and could not imagine what this journey would have been like without her support ! 10/10 !

Aubrey Gillen

Hi, my name is Aubrey! I am a certified Birth and Postpartum doula as well as a certified Childbirth Educator. I have lots of confidence in making sure you feel well equipped for your birth and postpartum journey as well as being able to emotionally support you through it all. I am currently located in Jacksonville, NC but I have a radius I will travel as well as offer some remote options for a less hands on approach to support. My view on birth is that it is a beautiful time in your life where you are bringing your baby Earth side and there are ways to make it feel peaceful, calm and tranquil. However, on the flip side, birth can feel scary. Birth can get messy. Birth can be the hardest thing you've ever had to go through. Whatever stage you're at in the process, I am here to support you. Same goes with postpartum. I am a mom of five babies. Three on Earth, two in Heaven. I have my professional training, however I also have real life experience which can't be taught. Trust me to guide you, your partner, your family, your kids; to get through this journey with you. Right by your side and I won't leave until you feel confident to do it on your own!

I know Aubrey personally, anything and everything that has to with babies. she knows it! Explanations and expectations, of how births will go are very thorough. It helped me definitely live in the moment and not have to worry about the unknown.

Laurie Wood

My name is Laurie Wood and I am passionate about supporting families through the incredible journey of childbirth and beyond. With a gentle touch and a compassionate heart, I’m here to ensure you feel empowered and cared for every step of the way. Before becoming a doula, I spent 30 years as a public school educator, working closely with children and families through meaningful milestones. My own positive birth experiences—including the birth of my first child with the support of a midwife—deepened my belief in the need for compassionate, informed care. I know that birth can feel overwhelming or uncertain, and I believe women have a unique and powerful ability to support all birthing parents through it. As a doula, I bring warmth, calm, and a steady presence to help you feel safe, supported, and confident throughout your pregnancy and birth experience. I have a blended family of six grown children and nine wonderful grandchildren who keep me closely connected to both the joys and challenges of raising children in today’s ever-changing world. Their presence in my life reminds me daily how each parenting journey is unique—and how important it is to feel supported, heard, and encouraged as a parent.

Laurie provided great support and assistance at my birth. I was a first time mom I wasn’t sure what to expect but Laurie made sure to walk me through things so I felt better prepared going in. During birth she was a calm, quiet presence being there to support but not interfering with the experience between my husband and I. She advocated for me in times I wasn’t able to and made sure my husband and I we fully informed about everything that was happening. I would definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone else I know.
