Hello there!

I’m Jennah, a gentle birth doula. Birth work is truly a heart-calling for me. It has cracked my heart open and filled it with so much joy and purpose.

Growing up, I helped take care of my own mother through a battle with her health. Now, nourishing and caring for mothers is what I do best. From as long as I can remember, I had a fascination for babies and birth. Look at any childhood photo of me and I’m always holding several baby dolls in my arms. I am a nurturer to my core.

I got into this work when I started learning about women’s health and how to live in accordance with the menstrual cycle – rather than against it. This thread took me deeper into birth work as I realized how powerful a woman’s body really is. I found there to be a lack of support for pregnant women in our society and realized most of the messages surrounding birth were fear- and pain-based. That is when my passion to help mothers feel confident, informed, and in-control of their birth experience blossomed. I took a 13-moon extensive doula training to prepare for this path.

I specialize in creating a gentle birth environment, even (and I should say especially) in a hospital setting. I attend births at home and in the hospital and truly believe birth is a transformational experience anywhere it happens. In my eyes, you cannot strip the magic from it.

Through our prenatal visits I will help you prepare mentally, spiritually and physically for your labor. I will help you create your unique birth plan, guide you through different positions, meditations, and pain-coping mechanisms. I will help you prepare for postpartum challenges like boundary setting, mental health, sleep, and nourishment. I’ll help you weave one version of yourself to the next as I hold your hand on this journey from start to finish.

When I’m not attending births, I love crafting and getting creative in the kitchen. My husband and I love to relax by a river or hike with our yellow lab, Rudy.

I am so happy you are here. All of me, sees all of you. I cannot wait to see what magic lies ahead.

Xo,
Jennah
