About Me

Hi, I'm Jennifer! My work as a doula is rooted in both lived experience and a deep commitment to ensuring families feel genuinely supported, seen, and cared for during one of life's most transformative seasons. Walking alongside families through this journey is truly my calling.

My background spans both community-based and health system–aligned care. I've served as a Frontline Hotline Doula, providing no-cost support to families, and as part of the Doula Access Program in partnership with Riverside Community Health Foundation and IEHP. As a founding member of the Sankofa Birthworkers Collective, I've helped build culturally grounded, equity-centered models of care.

I believe every parent carries an innate wisdom about their body and their baby. My role is to offer a steady, grounding presence, providing guidance, advocacy, and reassurance so families can move through their journey feeling confident and deeply supported. My approach is holistic, honoring the physical, emotional, and cultural dimensions of care, and my goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in supporting the whole person and the whole family. I believe that when families are fully supported during the perinatal period, it creates lasting effects for generations to come; care isn't just for this moment, but a foundation that ripples forward. I take a holistic approach that honors the physical, emotional, and cultural dimensions of each family's experience. I believe every parent carries an innate wisdom about their body and their baby, so my role is to offer a steady, grounding presence, providing guidance, advocacy, and reassurance, while meeting each family where they are with respect for their values and needs.

Overall, my goal is to help families feel seen, supported, and empowered, confident in their own wisdom as they move through this transformative season.
