About Jessica
I am a labor doula certified with CAPPA and I have been a Bradley® childbirth educator since 2002 in Portland, Oregon and in Monument, Colorado since 2006. I have attended the births of many of my students as a doula, and expanded my doula services to outside clients once I became certified with CAPPA.
My husband, Sean, and I have three sons—Noah, Reid, and Asa. I have had natural births each time, resulting in very healthy babies and a quick and easy recovery for me! Each one of my labors was different. My first was long and took a lot of endurance, and my second was not as long but took a lot of hard work in late labor. My third was quicker than my first two but included a long, 3 day phase of pre-labor. I have also had the experiences of giving birth in the hospital with a certified nurse midwife and at home with a direct-entry midwife. So, I can relate to the benefits of each choice. I can honestly say that the method I teach in my classes work—not only for the short [relatively] easy labors (which I have never had!), but also for the long, hard ones as well. It was a very empowering experience to work hard and allow my body to give birth naturally.
I am a stay at home mom and we home educate our children. I have a Master’s degree in Psychology and a background as a certified counselor working with children and adolescents. I have worked as a breastfeeding counselor with the Nursing Mother’s Council of Oregon. I am a member of La Leche League International, CAPPA, Brio Birth, and the Birth Network of Colorado Springs.
My goal is to help more mothers and babies to experience the benefits, healthy outcomes, and JOY of natural childbirth!
