Hello there! My name is Jennifer Herman, I am a Functional Health Practitioner, and a Certified Birthing, Postpartum, and Loss and Bereavement Doula. I am also certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) by Postpartum Support International. I specialize in perinatal mental health disorders and loss and grief during the perinatal period. My focus is on supporting birth givers and their families to mentally prepare for the addition of a new family member, as well as to support any mental health disorders that may arise postpartum. This includes anxiety, depression, OCD, panic and more. I also work with mothers and families during periods of grief and loss due to pregnancy loss of any kind and stillbirth. I have experienced firsthand the effects of pregnancy loss, and infertility and how they can affect birthing persons, mothers, and families not only mentally, but physically. Please feel free to reach out to learn more about how I can support you through such a momentous moment in your life. You are not alone.

Perinatal Mental Health Doula services utilizing nutritional therapy, lifestyle recommendations, and psychotherapy to create a smooth and nourishing transition into parenthood. Great for new parents or those who've experienced perinatal trauma, perinatal loss, and/or perinatal mental health disorders.
I have had the pleasure of co-facilitating perinatal groups with Jennifer. She is warm, authentic, and compassionate. To be around her is to feel safe and supported. I have learned so much from her knowledge and experience in the perinatal field!
