A Note from Jodie

Birth isn’t one-size-fits-all,

and your support shouldn’t be either.

Together, we'll discover what helps you feel calm, confident, and connected throughout pregnancy, labor, and birth. You'll explore evidence-based comfort techniques, movement, breathwork, positioning, acupressure, mindfulness, and more.

Not because you have to use them all, but because

you deserve options.

Every tool is simply an invitation. You choose what feels right, what aligns with your values, and what supports your unique birth experience. Together, we'll create a space where you feel informed, empowered, and free to birth your way.

MY DOULA PRIORITIES

  • Pink starburst shape with a blank space in the center.

    Confidence

    You feel prepared, calm, and connected throughout labor. My hope is that confidence replaces fear, leaving room for joy and laughter, even during labor.

  • brown cloud shape

    Healing

    Whether you're preparing after a difficult birth or simply want to release fear before your first, we'll intentionally create space for healing. Birth can be more than something you endure. It can be restorative and empowering.

  • green circle

    Clarity

    When you understand your options, you're free to make decisions that align with your values. My role is to provide balanced information and unwavering support so you feel safe, heard, and confident in every choice.

  • Allison

    “My experience with Jodie was such a wonderful one, especially as a disabled first time mom who had some special circumstances. She's a doula that really takes the time with clients, cares, and keeps a cool head: which was so much appreciated. I felt really comfortable reaching out to her for any/everything and I was so grateful for her expertise with explaining things to the layman. She offers fantastic tools to make you feel 100% prepared to be the best mom you can be! Thanks again Jodie!“

  • Cara

    “Working with Jodie was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy. From the months and weeks leading up to my due date through a long and complicated hospital labor, she was a steady, reassuring presence offering well-researched tools and broader support. My birth unfolded very differently than I had hoped, including multiple days in labor and ultimately a C-section, and Jodie supported me with calm reassurance, clear information, and genuine care throughout.

    She helped me feel informed and supported as plans shifted, held space for both my hope and disappointment, and supported my husband and me as a team through exhaustion and uncertainty. Even though this wasn’t the birth I originally imagined, I truly believe Jodie’s presence made the experience gentler and more grounded. I’m deeply grateful for her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her.”

  • Kassidy

    “Jodie was an amazing doula! From the very beginning, she was always available to answer questions and offer support. It honestly felt more like having a good friend walk with me through pregnancy. As a first-time mom, having Jodie by my side helped ease so much anxiety, not just for me, but for my husband too. From the power of pregnancy stones to essential oils, aromatherapy, meditation, and sound baths, Jodie offers a wide range of options to support you during pregnancy, labor, and beyond. Although my out-of-hospital birth didn’t go as planned and I ended up transferring to the hospital, Jodie never left my side. She offered unwavering support, comfort, and even helped deliver our baby. I truly don’t think I could have done it without her!”

  • Francie

    “I had a wonderful experience with Jodie. She came for daytime postpartum doula care when I was in a super vulnerable place and just needed all the help. She took care of all the things, including me, with compassion and calming, positive energy. I'm a doula myself so my standards are super high. I couldn't be more grateful to Jodie for helping me get back on my feet when I felt at my worst!”

  • Kate

    "Jodie is truly something special as a practitioner of guided meditation and sound baths. She has a natural sense of musicality in her performance of sound, and her meditations are thoughtful, excellently paced, and relevant. I feel deeply relaxed and almost hypnotized during sessions with her. Jodie is also a very approachable and sweet person, so it is easy to feel at ease in her presence. I enjoyed Jodie's group sound baths so much that I booked a private meditation and sound bath for my husband and I on our third wedding anniversary, and it was genuinely one of the most profound inner experiences we both have had in our lives. Highly recommend booking either, or both, a guided meditation and sound bath with Jodie."
