I’m Jess, mom to two girls, photographer, doula and owner of Womb Within. Being a doula has always been a soul calling for me. Going into motherhood I found that intuitive, soft, and nurturing approach has been something that is guiding me to support others in this stage of life. I am here to be your guide and support during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. With all humans I go into everything with care and would be honored to meet you wherever you are at and give the support you need through it.

Hospital Birth Doula Support
Having a doula to be emotional and physical support for you and your family is invaluable. No matter what your preferences are going into your birth, I am supportive of that journey and making sure you feel empowered to make those informed decisions.
Home Birth Doula Support
With home births, the additional doula support in building your team of care is so beneficial. Not only will you go into your birth feeling supported and capable, but the postpartum time you will have that added care to help the transition weather it be your first or third baby.
Miscarriage & Termination Support
Weather it be unexpected or planned, having a guiding and grounding support there to listen can be so helpful in that process. I feel this is something that is often times just done alone and in private. This isn’t something that should be done alone and having doula support to navigate all the physical and emotional process I do at no cost.
What do birth doulas offer?
Physical Support
Position ideas for comfort and labor progression cross over with hands-on comfort measures like comforting touch, counter pressure, breathing techniques and other “doula magic” for families. A doula’s skilled hands and positioning tools can often help a malpositioned baby find its way through the pelvis and into the birthing parent’s arms.
Emotional Support
Doulas help families to feel supported, easing the emotional experience of birth and also helping to create a space where the hormones of labor can work at their best. Whether a birth is completely unmedicated or medically very complex, every family can benefit from nurturing and connection at this tender, incredible time in their lives.
Partner Support
Whether it’s a romantic partner, a friend or another family member like the baby’s grandma, the birth partner’s experience matters in birth. Our doulas are there to support every birth partner in being as involved as they’d like with the birth. Physical and emotional support make a huge difference for everyone involved.
Evidence-Based Information and Advocacy
They are trained to help families connect with evidence-based resources so they can ask great questions and make informed decisions about their births. Our doulas serve as a bridge of communication between their client and their providers, lifting them up to help them find their voices and advocate for the very best care.
