Jaeden Howard

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi there—I'm Jaeden! I'm a full-spectrum Black doula, certified through the UCSD Hearts & Hands Doula Program in May 2025 and credentialed to work with various forms of insurance. Supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond is truly my calling.

My own personal healthcare regime blends holistic practices with Western medicine, and I encourage all of the families I work with to incorporate holistic practices into their care when possible. Because pregnancy impacts every part of your being, I always encourage my clients to prioritize their mental well-being alongside their physical health. My goal is to help you feel supported and cared for, mind and body, every step of the way.

Practice Philosophy

My doula care is built on three main pillars: I emphasize education over speculation and fear, helping you and your family make informed decisions, in order to foster a birth experience that leaves you feeling empowered and autonomous. I meet each family where they are, grounding our work in knowledge rather than fear.

During prenatal appointments, I love preparing parents for labor and birth through creating a birth plan and practicing various birthing positions and pain management techniques. In labor, we use the tools we've honed together to ensure your experience aligns as closely as possible with your goals. And in the postpartum period, I focus on helping you heal your body after pregnancy and connect with your new baby.

As an aspiring midwifery student, I view my doula work as the foundation for my future in birth work. I'm proud to be fairly new in this field, and I know I'm here to make a long-term impact in the birth world. Overall, my goal is to help you feel educated, empowered, and autonomous, supported through every step of this beautiful journey.
