Hi! I’m Jess, I'm a WA state certified birth doula who has had the honor of attending over 60 births. I am passionate about helping families feel prepared, supported, and empowered. My goal is to ensure you have a birth experience that’s calm, personalized, and aligned with your wishes.
I offer hands-on comfort measures, emotional reassurance, and continuous presence to help you stay calm and confident through each stage of labor.
I provide clear, up-to-date information so you can make informed choices that align with your birth goals and feel confident in your decisions.
I’ve trained alongside a seasoned midwife to safely prepare placenta capsules that may support energy, mood balance, and postpartum recovery.

"she changed the entire experience"
"Jess stayed by my side during my unmedicated birth and she changed the entire experience! She poured warm water on me during labor, kept me hydrated with sips of water, fed me and just overall took extremely good care of me. If I wasn't pushing a huge baby out it would've been like a spa treatment. Thank you Jess for everything, you made my birth so incredible!!"
- Kacey C

"Jess was a great advocate to have during birth!"
"Jess was a great advocate to have during birth! My initial plan to birth at the center wasn't a possibility but she made sure to understand my hopes and goals. She always made sure my questions were answered as well as asking more questions just for knowledge sake especially when I wasn't in the mindset to ask myself. She was encouraging but matched the pace and helped keep things on track. Anytime I was in doubt she would gently remind me of what I wanted and help refocus. The nursing staff even commended her for being so helpful and supportive but not overstepping. I'm so glad she was ready and willing to step in as soon as she got the go signal."
- Vanessa M

"She held space for my birth perfectly"
"I wasn’t planning on having a birth doula because I thought my partner and sister would be enough support—and they truly were amazing—but I’m so glad I also had Jess there. It was comforting to have someone who not only cared deeply but also knew so much about birth without being a family member. Jess offered gentle touch and words of encouragement and fed me berries between contractions. Her presence was strong and affirming, never overwhelming or pushy. She held space for my birth perfectly, and I believe she has a rare ability to adapt to and meet the needs of any birthing person."

Birth Doula Benefits
Let’s chat about your birth goals and how I can support you. A calm, empowered birth is possible!
Unlike hospital staff who may rotate during shifts, a doula stays by your side throughout labor. You’ll have steady emotional reassurance, comfort measures, and guidance from someone whose sole focus is you.
Studies show that families supported by doulas experience shorter labors, fewer medical interventions, and higher birth satisfaction. Having a calm, knowledgeable presence helps you stay relaxed and confident through every stage.
A doula provides evidence-based information and helps you understand your options, so you can make informed choices aligned with your birth preferences. You’ll feel confident, respected, and in control of your experience.
A birth doula provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support before, during, and just after birth. I help you prepare for labor, stay calm and confident through contractions, and feel supported in every decision along the way.
Not at all! My goal is to support both of you. I help your partner feel confident and involved, showing them how to provide comfort and encouragement so you both feel like a team.
Most families book between 20–30 weeks, but it’s never too early (or too late!) to reach out. The sooner we connect, the more time we have to build trust and prepare together.
Yes! I support hospital births, birth center births, and home births. Whether you’re planning a medicated or unmedicated birth, my focus is helping you feel informed, respected, and at peace with your choices.
Each package includes prenatal visits, on-call support from 37 weeks, continuous labor support, and a postpartum visit to check in on recovery and feeding. We’ll go over all the details during your free consultation.

Benefits of Placenta Encapsulation
Let’s chat about the benefits!
The placenta contains naturally occurring hormones that may help support emotional stability, reduce “baby blues,” and promote an overall sense of well-being postpartum.
Rich in iron and other nutrients, placenta capsules may aid in replenishing what’s lost during childbirth, supporting energy and recovery.
Some mothers report an increase in milk production and a smoother breastfeeding experience when taking placenta capsules.
Safety Note
Placenta encapsulation is not a medical treatment, and results can vary for each person. Always consult your healthcare provider before consuming placenta products, especially if you have an infection, complications during birth, or other health concerns.
