Hi! I’m Jessica 👋 NYC Based Birth & Postpartum Doula

I'd love to be your doula.

As a mother, I know having a baby is both exciting and incredibly overwhelming. I'm here to help you navigate this next adventure with information, mindfulness, and an extra set of hands when you need it most.

As a birth, postpartum, and return-to-work doula, I focus on providing straightforward and practical support to manage pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I strive to create an environment of safety, curiosity, confidence, care, and joy.

My aim is to support and advise without judgment or bias and to support you in advocating for the birth you want—whatever that looks like for you.

I am honored to support all birthing people—first time parents, single parents, VBAC clients, LGBTQ+ families, homebirths, inductions, and planned cesareans.

About Me

Raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, I’ve called New York City home since 2008.

Before becoming a doula, I worked in start-ups and nonprofits launching new products and programs where I earned a reputation for creativity, care, and a keen attention to the little details that deliver value.

In my doula practice, I bring this same intuitive attention because I know even the smallest details can have a big impact on one's birth and postpartum experiences. I strive to make my clients feel seen, heard, and cared for in creative and meaningful ways.

I live in Washington Heights where I live with my husband and daughter and enjoy hosting picnics along the Hudson River.

Testimonials

“Jessica really gave my husband and I labor room confidence that we didn’t know we needed and it 100% added priceless value to our birthing journey.”

- Ashley & Brian, Birth clients

“She gave us lots of tools to advocate for ourselves before so we knew what we were doing going in and helped me get into positions that really just helped move things along. We could not be more grateful, and we were so happy that we chose her to be our doula.”

- Sam & Max, Birth clients

Jess has a very unique combination of being hyper organized and diligent but with a very calm presence. I was buoyed in difficult moments knowing that I had space each week to lean on someone. I had a trustworthy person in my home that proactively helped without judgment. My son and I were physically less tense as the weeks went by; he would often immediately relax and melt into her arms when she arrived. I can honestly say that our little family is happier and more connected because of Jess.
