About Me
Welcome to my world, where we transform the birthing experience through personalized care, unwavering support, and heartfelt empowerment.
My name is Jess, and I am deeply passionate about helping women own their birth experiences.
My Journey
When we bring our babies into this world, we also birth ourselves as mothers. This transformative event is incredibly important, and I believe that we should prepare as best as we can for it by investing our time and resources into making this rite of passage the best it could be.
My own journey into motherhood has been a profound and transformative experience. During my first pregnancy, I encountered unexpected challenges and birth trauma. At 38 weeks, I consented to a cervical check, during which my OBGYN performed a membrane sweep without my consent. That night, my waters broke, leading to a 24-hour labor at home and ultimately a hospital transfer. Even though my baby and I were perfectly healthy, I felt robbed of the home birth I had dreamed of. This experience rocked my belief in my body’s ability to birth and in my own intuition.
For my second birth, I decided to take control and prepared diligently. The result was the water birth I had always dreamed of, leading to a smoother recovery, a deep bond with my baby, and an amazing emotional and physical state.
Why This Work Matters
Around a third of women experience trauma while giving birth, often due to the actions and interactions with their health providers. I am part of that statistic.
My experiences have driven my passion to support other women in their birthing journeys. I firmly believe that when we are informed about the physiology of birth, aware of our rights, and confident to advocate for our birth preferences, we can significantly increase our chances of having a positive birth outcome for ourselves and our babies.
