Meet Jes

I'm Jes (she/her), and my journey into doula work grew from abortion activism and years as a newborn nanny. As I learned more about pregnancy and birth, I was amazed by the power of the human body and struck by how little many of us are taught. I have always been moved by life's transitions, and that sense of wonder is what led me into this work.

I began my doula journey with DONA training in 2015, and over the past decade I’ve continued to deepen my knowledge through a variety of meaningful trainings. These include supporting families through a sacred postpartum, working with LGBTQIA+ families through birth and postpartum, breastfeeding education and training, and nurturing families as they welcome twins.

Jes supports families with an intersectional, compassionate approach shaped by 10 years of experience. She offers prenatal education, birth support, and postpartum care (both daytime and overnight). I also host a monthly meetup for LGBTQIA+ folks exploring family building.
