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 was amazing with my baby. She was able to feed her, change her, put her down for naps and I fully trusted her to handle the baby. She was super helpful in that she prepared meals for us and cooked really healthy and delicious foods. I told her what I liked and she came up with recipes and they were all really good. She also helped around the house in terms of folding laundry and organizing, like Marie Kondo level stuff. It was amazing and I’m really going to miss it. I highly recommend Jessica!”
- Jess & Ryan, Postpartum clients
“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
“From our first virtual meeting we felt comfortable with and trusting of Jess. If it weren’t for Jess we would have strayed from our birth wishes. She helped empower us to question things and to speak up. We are so grateful for that. We are so lucky to have worked with Jess.”
- Alexa & Chris, Birth clients
I’m available for in-person support for families based in the New York Metro area and virtual support across the US.
