HEY THERE

Hi! I'm Jess! (they/ she) 

 

I live in White Bear Lake with my husband, little human, and gaggle of furry kiddos.  I love a good book, being outdoors (hiking, kayaking, gardening, snow shoeing, to name a few), and food!  I'm queer, non-binary, fat, and chronically ill. 

 

In birth work and postpartum doula care, my goals are always the same as yours - whatever your goals are. 

 

From a young age, inequality was shockingly obvious to me and something I often tried to and still trying to grasp my mind around.  I witnessed my first birth when I was 16 and since then have been fascinated and felt called to caring for birthers.  For some, birth can be a revolutionary act.  For others, it is a quiet moment of family building.  For all of us, it's a moment of vulnerability, challenges, and change. 

 

Whether you're a first-time or a seasoned birther, my goal is your goal.  Let me walk beside you, educate where I can, advocate, empower, care, and bear witness to your moments.

 

We often hear it takes a village to raise a baby, but for many, there may not be a village.  As a postpartum doula, let me be your village. 

​

I look forward to meeting you!​
