Jessica is a certified birth doula, integrative lactation feeding specialist (currently certifying), prenatal/postnatal yoga teacher specializing and certified Body Ready Method Pro®. Her ultimate goal as a birth worker is to provide the birthing person with an abundance of support, nourishment, and evidence-based resources throughout their pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum periods. Mindfulness and trauma-informed practices greatly inform her approach to both birth work, and brings an inclusive, non judgemental approach. Jessica is here to celebrate you—your instincts, your choices, your power. She brings humor, emotional awareness, and a calm, grounding presence to every moment shared with her clients. 

Jessica loves blending holistic and medical perspectives to create a balanced, empowering experience for every family. As she likes to say, she has “one foot in woo, one foot in medicine”, in that she understands that no two births are the same. She supports hospital births, unmedicated hospital births, home births, VBACs, high risk pregnancies, inductions, unplanned cesareans and planned cesareans. Jessica feels honored to be sharing the birth space with families as they transition into the world of parenthood. She is based in Brooklyn and supports families in the New York City area.

I believe that every birthing person should have access to a doula. Therefore, I offer sliding scale community support in the following situations: homebirths, single parents, teen parents, both parents who are unemployed or underemployed, and members of the BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+ community. When you pay my standard fees, you are supporting a fair, living wage aligned with my level of experience and education. When you pay a sliding scale, you are allowing your community to hold and support you. I am also happy to work out a payment plan. Both are acceptable ways of participating and I am honored to be a part of your journey. Everyone deserves a doula’s support and care.

  • "We opted to do some prenatal yoga sessions with Jess at my home. The sessions were enlightening, made me feel more connected with my body, and helped me feel prepared for all phases of labor and birth. Jess is easy to talk to and has so much insight into the body and pregnancy. What a game changer! I gave birth in a hospital and labored at home with my husband and Jess for hours before we arrived. She helped me through the hardest contractions with loving touch and a focus on my breath. She brought me so much comfort and strength and made me feel unstoppable."
