Dedicated Doula Support For Your Journey!

   
​Imagine your birth and postpartum... where you feel safe, supported, calm and in control.
​
I believe that birth and infant feeding are deeply personal and intimate experiences. Who you choose to surround yourself with makes an enormous impact on both the outcome and overall satisfaction you feel about your birth. We cannot control every factor, but we can prepare and respond with confident informed decision making.
​

Hey, I'm Jessica.

I have been serving families for sixteen years as a doula. I am deeply passionate about supporting families who choose to incorporate Hypnobirthing techniques into their birthing experiences and those birthing outside of a hospital, but fully respect that some clients may choose to do neither. I also support families on the day of their birth with their feeding goals as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.​ 

Serving families within 25 miles of Guthrie, OK.

Doula Availability

To uphold the highest standards of care, I consciously limit the number of clients I take on each month. This deliberate decision is rooted in a deep commitment to ensuring that every client receives the attention and support they deserve during this crucial time in their lives. My decision to limit the number of clients I take on each month is not just about managing my workload; it's about prioritizing the quality of care and support that I provide to each and every family. This approach allows me to uphold the core values of doula care—compassion, advocacy, and personalized support—ensuring that every client receives the dedicated attention they deserve.

At this time I am also more limited in my availability as I commit my time to training as a Midwifery Assistant with Willow Birth Services.
