Find a Midwife Near Me in Pocatello, ID

I have been part of the birth world for over 30 years. I have assisted birth since I was 20 years old. I have been a certified DONA doula for over 20 years and have loved every birth. I delivered all 9 of my children at home and respect the mother in her birth space. I believe that pregnancy is not an illness and childbirth is natural. I support and encourage women and families to be the ones making the decisions regarding their health and well-being. I feel women need to be involved in the decision-making process about the birth of their baby and what best meets their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. I started my formal midwifery journey in 2013 using Mercy In Action as my academic College, Better Birth as my skills institution and local Midwifes here in Idaho to be my mentors. I have attended more than 300 births in my training and am excited to be part of your birth experience.

I am a grateful wife and mother of seven children who helped introduce me to the world of giving birth. I have born them all naturally, some in the hospital and later in the homebirth setting. I have been a Nurse for over 40 years and have worked in the hospital in Labor & Delivery, Newborn Nursery and Postpartum care. I have also followed 'out-of-hospital' midwives since I was 25 years old. Recently I became a Certified Professional Midwife who specializes in out-of-hospital (OOH) birthing. We opened My Family Birth Center in Ogden, Utah to give women the opportunity to birth in their own way. We are the largest Birth Center in Utah and Nationally Accredited with the Commission of Accrediting Birth Centers (CABC). We are within 3 blocks of a Ogden Regional Medical Center. We've been open for 4 1/2 years and have helped over 250 couples. I believe in natural birth and know that it has helped many women to experience a quiet, normal, positive birth experience. In my spare time I enjoy bike riding, snowboarding and being with family.

I'm Jessica - a midwife, doula, mother, witness and space-holder passionate about caring for women and families throughout the adventure of pregnancy and birth. I feel that the name “Birth-Keeper” is more suited to the type of midwifery I strive to practice, as I strongly believe that babies are born how they are conceived: in peace, safety, and comfort. I focus on ‘keeping’ that safe space for you to deepen your awareness of the birthing process, and offer the information you need to make empowered choices throughout your care. My role as a midwife is to witness you, to exalt you, to comfort you, to support you, to revere you, to love you, and to uplift you in your own power. This is your body, your baby, your birth, your choice
