Placenta Encapsulation Specialists in Springfield, OR

I attended my first birth more than 25 years ago and very soon after began actively pursuing birthwork, trading off between midwifery apprenticeships and serving independently as a doula. Given my background, I'm a strong believer in individual family autonomy, true informed consent, and holistic continuity of care that includes extensive postpartum attention. I'm also quite the baby whisperer, even while they're still in the belly. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, cooking, going on long walks, and taking even longer naps. I'm best known for my authenticity, tenacity, quick wit, and contagious laugh.

My approach to postpartum care is deeply holistic, rooted in the belief that when a mother is cared for, the whole family thrives. While I certainly love babies, my philosophy is simple: I am not here to hold babies—I am here to hold mothers. As a postpartum doula, clinical social worker, herbalist, and mother myself, I weave together evidence-based support with ancestral wisdom to nurture the emotional, physical, and spiritual transition into motherhood. My care may include nourishing postpartum meals tailored to your body's healing needs, herbal support, nervous system regulation, gentle bodywork, ancestral healing practices, and compassionate emotional support. I also bring a thoughtful eye to the home, helping with light housekeeping, tending to older siblings, and creating a peaceful environment where you can truly rest and recover. My intention is for every mother to feel deeply seen, cherished, and held during one of life's most sacred transformations. At this time, I am offering in-home postpartum doula services, allowing families to receive personalized, nurturing care in the comfort of their own homes.

I have had the pleasure of supporting families for over 18 years. I support autonomy and advocate for clients. I have extensive experience with homebirths. I also care for high risk pregnancies, scheduled inductions & cesarean births. I practice trauma informed care and support families who have experience birth or personal trauma and help write not only birth plans but trauma informed care plans for clients needing this extra layer of care. I consider myself an active doula and with or without an epidural I encourage movement & positioning to facilitate babies decent. Each birth is special and I would love to help make yours an empowering and positive experience.

Hello everyone, my name is Jennifer and I am a birth doula and Childbirth educator. I am also a bodywork specialist who does energy work. I am trained in Reiki and reflexology and while I was in massage school I took classes in pregnancy massage and labor massage. As a birth worker my passion is to help in the bonding of the family no matter what your family looks like if it is just mother and baby, partner, spouse, or even a family member I am there to help you find your voice and ease your journey as it plays out. Sometimes we want to think we can control what our birth will look like but the little bundle inside doesn't always listen and so I want to be there to help everyone involved reach the goal. My main passion is in continuous care. I left the nursing world after seeing the effects it had on laboring women and families having to build that rapport with the care team each appointment, shift changes and I did not like that. I want to be there with your family from start to finish, one less thing to worry about and one more thing to gain comfort in.
