“After birth there’s a sacred window of time. A time for complete rejuvenation of a woman’s physical, mental, and spiritual health. A time for deep, extended bonding with her newborn. The first 42 days after birth set the stage for her next 42 years.”
— Ysha Oakes

Congratulations, you’re having a baby!

Whether you’re getting ready to welcome your first child or your fifth, this is a sacred time in life, unlike any other.
I believe that when a baby is born, so is a mother. Both are delicate and strong, new and timeless, vulnerable and wise. They need support, and they need space. Quiet and comfort — the right kind of care.

Hi, I’m Jennifer, and I would love to be your postpartum doula!

The word “doula” comes from the Greek word doulē, which translates to female helper or maidservant. But to me, it is so much more.

A doula is someone who is there to witness you, offer emotional support, and put you at ease. She knows you and your family, and is a trusted source of help. She takes direction and intuits what is needed. She is nonjudgmental and compassionate. She is a partner as you go through this rite of passage.

Pregnancy can be all-consuming. And then, in a flash, it’s over! And you feel unprepared.

The early days of motherhood can be overwhelming. Emotional. Exhausting. Hard.
But they can also be magical!
A postpartum doula can help ease the transition. We were never meant to do this alone.

Early motherhood is a time of forgetfulness.

The infamous “mom brain” is actually nature’s perfect design for helping you learn and bond with your baby. This period of intense focus is an excellent time for OUTSOURCING!

You are doing the most important work — the work that only YOU can do!
Healing from birth, bonding with your baby, feeding your baby and yourself, and resting.

Imagine a time that is unhurried. Spontaneous. Timeless.
Doing what feels good in the moment and nothing more.

Traditional cultures around the world understand how to care for new mothers. But families in the U.S. are woefully unsupported.

There is a movement afoot. We are reclaiming motherhood.

Jennifer is very calm, soothing, and emotionally regulated. She exudes this beautiful energy that makes me feel more relaxed. She is extremely empathetic and intuitive about your needs. She is also extremely knowledgeable about many topics regarding motherhood such as lactation and sleep topics.

Jennifer has such a calming demeanor! She’s a great listener and very supportive. I loved being able to just ‘vent’ and speak about my current well-being without feeling judged. Having the baby cared for while I was able to nap was a game-changer, as well as the housekeeping. It kept me more balanced and feeling like myself. We also loooved having food readily available throughout the week. Having Jennifer as our postpartum doula took away so much stress and helped me feel more prepared.

Jennifer is a very helpful and passionate doula. She always asks what I need and does whatever is necessary at the moment. Sometimes she cooks delicious meals for me, and other times she focuses on taking good care of my baby. Her support helped me recover from delivery and spend quality time with my toddler.
