My experience was working with Jay as my postpartum doula after the birth of my third baby. I had never worked with a doula before, and after my previous postpartum experiences, I now know how invaluable that kind of support truly is. After my third child was born, I thought I had everything under control, but the postpartum period still brought challenges I wasn’t fully prepared for. She provided such a calm, knowledgeable presence that made all the difference. From helping me establish a breastfeeding routine to offering emotional support when I felt overwhelmed, she was the anchor I didn’t realize I needed. Unlike my previous postpartum experiences, this time I didn’t feel isolated or unsure. She checked in on me regularly, made sure I was taking care of myself, and offered practical tips for balancing my recovery while caring for my newborn and older children. What really stood out was her genuine care for me as a whole person, not just as a mother or caregiver. She ensured I had moments to rest and recharge, which was something I struggled with before. Her support was more than just physical help i was emotional, mental, and holistic. I felt heard, cared for, and reassured every step of the way. I can honestly say that having her as part of my postpartum journey made this time completely different from my past experiences, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I have been an experienced nanny for 12 years with extensive hands-on experience caring for children ranging from 2 months old to 11 years old. Over the years, I have provided nurturing, attentive care that meets each child's unique needs whether its feeding and soothing infants, supporting toddlers through developmental milestones, or engaging school aged children in creative, educational activities.

I have worked with families from all backgrounds, and that has allowed me the flexibility to cater to each individual family based on their specific needs. This has led me to transition into a specialized role as a Newborn Care Specialist and postpartum doula, where I now focus exclusively on providing expert care for infants in their first crucial months of life. My role as a newborn care specialist and postpartum doula is to support you through the transformative journey of being new parents. To offer compassionate care, expert guidance and practical assistant as you navigate the joys and challenges of the postpartum period.

My educational background is quite diverse. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biological science, certificates in early childhood development, newborn care specialist, postpartum doula, and I am currently perusing a career in nursing. I am very passionate about babies and children in general and my goal is to work with parents in creating a safe, loving and happy environment for babies and children. In my spare time, I love to cook, outdoor adventures, fitness and catching up on some of my favorite tv shows. I look forward to connecting with you!

Jay has been an absolute lifesaver for our family. She not only provided exceptional night doula support—handling feeds, diaper changes, and soothing Elliott through the night—but also played a huge role in helping us successfully sleep train him. Her approach was calm, thoughtful, and incredibly effective. She guided us through the process with confidence, gave us practical tools, and adjusted to Elliott’s needs while also supporting us as parents. Thanks to her, Elliott is sleeping so much better, and we feel more rested and confident. We truly couldn’t have done this without her and would highly recommend Jay to any family looking for both compassionate overnight care and expert sleep support.

✨ Hi friends! I’m Jess (she/her) — a queer birth & postpartum doula based in the Bay Area. I grew up around birth and babies (shoutout to my nurse mom!) and fell in love with supporting new parents early on. After seeing so many of my friends navigate birth and postpartum without the support they deserved and needed, I knew this was the work I was meant to do. I offer care that’s supportive, inclusive, and centered on you—your values, your vision, and your unique journey into parenthood. If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or just dreaming about building your family someday, I’d love to support you. 💛

We were so lucky to connect with Jess through the Birth Companions when looking for doulas in our area who worked with our insurance. After our initial call with Jess, we felt energized and educated and grateful she had availability to work with us. Our early sessions were so informative. Jess made sure to answer all our questions and also prompted helpful reflection and discussion about birth planning that we hadn't yet considered. She previewed for us what the labor process might include and simultaneously assured us that she would be there to help navigate the hospital since you can't plan for everything. She gave us videos and literature, so we felt all the information we accessible and evidence based. When I went into labor, Jess was there at the wee hours of the morning and cheered me on the whole time. She helped with communication and advocacy (I wanted an unmedicated labor), supported my partner to participate (he caught the baby), and stayed with us as we got cleaned up and settles in postpartum. As first time parents, her calm confidence and converation was such a gift! I wholeheartedly hope every birthing parent gets a champion like Jess (or better yet...Jess!!) with them as they navigate the exhausting and amazing process of welcoming a baby.
