Hello! I’m Jordan Cota, a doula, wife, and mother of five. Over the years, I’ve supported many women through various pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences—ranging from home births and VBACs to cesareans and water births, as well as different feeding and parenting styles. I believe that our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences deeply shape us as individuals and parents. While there’s no "easy" way to have a baby, the process teaches us how strong and capable we are. I love supporting women through the "fourth trimester" as they adjust to parenting and bonding with their new baby. My journey to becoming a doula started with the birth of my first child. I was young and unprepared, but my best friend instinctively supported me through a natural labor, and I felt empowered afterward. However, I knew I needed more tools and preparation for future births. For my second baby, I chose an out-of-hospital birth center with a doula and midwife, and just 21 months later, I had a beautiful home birth with my third child. My last pregnancy, with twins, led me to choose a hospital birth with both an OB and midwife.

Throughout the years, I have supported many women during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I have a wide variety of pregnancy, birth, and parenting experiences. Including birth center birth, hospital birth, home birth, twins, VBAC, cesarean, water birth, breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, baby wearing, co-sleeping, single mothers, homeschooling, and wholistic parenting. I fully embrace the notion that our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences can deeply impact who we are as people and as parents. There is no easy way to have a baby, but this incredible process teaches us how strong and capable we are and prepares us for parenting. Our birth story strongly influences our postpartum period and I love supporting women through what we like to refer to as the fourth trimester while they navigate getting to know their baby and what parenting looks like for them.
