My name is Jennifer, and I am a free-spirited mother, creative, and birth worker dedicated to empowering families through the transformative journey of birth. My passion for emancipated birth stems from my belief that every birthing person deserves to feel autonomous, supported, and informed during this sacred process. Birth is not just a medical event; it’s a deeply personal and spiritual rite of passage that reflects the power and resilience of the human body and soul. As a full-spectrum doula, I am committed to walking alongside families at every stage of their reproductive journey, from conception and pregnancy to postpartum and beyond. I strive to create a safe and affirming space where families feel seen and heard, especially those from underserved communities. My work is grounded in advocacy, education, and holistic care, integrating evidence-based practices with traditional healing methods, such as herbalism and energy work, to honor the unique needs of each family. My own experiences as a mother and herbalist have deepened my understanding of the profound connection between our bodies, minds, and the natural world. These experiences inspire me to guide others in reclaiming their power, trust, and intuition in birth and parenting. Being a birthworker is not just my profession—it is my calling. I am honored to contribute to the growing movement for birth justice, where every family is supported in bringing life into the world with dignity, choice, and love.
