About Me

💕 Hi, I’m Jenn 💕

I’m passionate about supporting families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and the transition into parenthood. With 10 years of experience and a heart for compassionate, individualized care, I believe every family deserves to feel heard, informed, confident, and supported.

I am a Certified Birth Doula and Certified Postpartum Doula, with additional training and experience as a Lactation Specialist, Newborn Care Specialist, and Newborn Sleep Specialist. I have supported hundreds of families in hospitals, birth centers, and home-birth settings.

My services include birth preparation, hands on labor support, comfort measures, partner coaching, postpartum care, newborn education, lactation support, newborn care, and newborn sleep guidance. I also prioritize continuing education, refreshing my professional training every three years to stay current with evidence informed practices and evolving industry standards.

Whether you need support during pregnancy, labor and birth, or the early weeks at home with your baby, I’m honored to walk alongside you. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. 💗

Practice Philosophy

💕 My Philosophy

My philosophy is centered on empowerment, compassionate advocacy, and individualized care. After 10 years of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and newborn care, I have learned that no two families—and no two birth experiences—are exactly alike. Every family deserves care that honors their individual needs, preferences, values, and vision.

I believe women are strong, capable, and incredibly powerful. Sometimes, all it takes is having the right support, encouragement, knowledge, and reassurance to recognize just how much strength you already carry within you. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is helping women build confidence in themselves and reminding them that they are capable of accomplishing the goals they set for themselves.

🌸 Your Birth. Your Voice. Your Experience.

As your birth doula, I am there to support, encourage, educate, and advocate for you throughout your pregnancy and birth experience. I take the time to understand what you envision for your birth so that I can help you feel prepared, informed, and confident in expressing your preferences.

Whether you envision an unmedicated birth, an epidural, an induction, a planned cesarean, a VBAC, or your birth takes an unexpected turn, my role is to remain by your side and support you through each decision and transition.

My goal is to help make your birth experience everything you envisioned and more, while also helping you feel supported and empowered if circumstances require your plans to change. I want you to look back on your birth knowing that your voice mattered, your preferences were respected, and you had someone beside you who was committed to supporting you and your family.

🌿 A Holistic Approach to Postpartum & Newborn Care

My approach to newborn and postpartum care is primarily holistic, focusing on the wellbeing of the entire family—not simply completing a list of newborn care tasks. I believe caring for a new baby also means caring for the mother, supporting recovery, encouraging bonding, providing lactation guidance, helping establish healthy newborn routines, and creating an environment where parents can rest, learn, and grow in confidence.

With experience and training in postpartum care, lactation, newborn care, and newborn sleep, I provide practical education and hands on support while respecting each family’s parenting preferences. Rather than taking over, my goal is to work alongside parents, teach them, encourage them, and help them become increasingly confident in caring for their baby independently.

💗 Support Designed Around Your Family

Every family, I work with receives personalized care. Whether you are welcoming your first baby or adding another little one to your family, I adapt my support to meet you where you are.

My experience has taught me the importance of combining compassionate care with continued education. I regularly refresh my professional training to remain current with evidence informed practices, evolving industry standards, and current approaches to pregnancy, birth, postpartum, lactation, newborn care, and newborn sleep.

And because pregnancy, labor, newborns, and postpartum life certainly don’t operate on a nine to five schedule, neither does my support. I offer daytime, nighttime, in person, and virtual care to provide families with flexibility during the moments they need support most.

At Destiny Doula Services, you are never simply another client. You are a family trusting me to be part of one of the most meaningful chapters of your life—and I consider that trust an honor.

My purpose is to help you feel informed, supported, heard, empowered, and confident—from pregnancy and birth through postpartum and life with your newborn. 💕
