about me

Hi, I’m Jenn.

​

I am a DONA certified doula with a passion for empowering people to trust their bodies.

I grew up caring for others and being transfixed at the birthing process. I coached my sisters through their births and have always felt a calling to birth work. My first real job was as a daycare helper at 12. I spent twenty years feeding souls through art and music, but the calling never quieted. After serving as a surrogate carrier, I realized I could no longer silence the voice and left the arts to become a birth doula.

​

I specialize in caring for birthing people who have had traumatic experiences and need extra care through pregnancy and birth, or anyone who needs a special amount of advocacy, as well as medically fragile babies and multiples. I also make sure that new parents feel empowered to embrace their new roles and help new moms feel cared for and grounded. 

​

I live in Victoria, MN with my husband Micah, two daughters, Emilia and Eleanor, and a veritable menagerie of furry and scaly critters including a hedgehog, chameleon, and very sassy kitty.
