About Me

I’m Jessica, 

Thank you for stopping by! I am a certified birth and bereavement doula, placenta encapsulator as well as certified birth assistant. I am deeply passionate about all things related to birth and motherhood. I love learning and educating others about pregnancy, birth and the fourth trimester. 

 I am based in Saratoga Springs, UT and currently serve Utah, Salt Lake, and Davis counties.

I strongly believe in the power of a women’s body and her ability to birth. I look forward to getting to know you and am honored to be by your side during the most vulnerable parts of your life.   

I am first a mother, then doula. 

A few days before the birth of our first son my husband  at  the  time  threw out his back, which lead me to helping him hobble down two flights of stairs to the hospital. The act of half carrying him up and down so many stairs so late in my pregnancy ruptured my waters. I was quickly rushed into an emergency induction with my  son’s  dad unable to stand and hardly move. The support system I had been relying on was no longer available to me. 

I labored alone, scared and ungrounded. When pivotal points in my labor arose I had no support to help me push through and ultimately ended up with several very unnecessary medical interventions that lead to a longer, more painful, labor and harder postpartum journey. 

We almost lost my son that day. 

From that day forward I searched high and low for something, anything, that would allow me to help women never experience what I had went through. 

Six months after Luka’s birth I was certified through Stillbirthday and jumped headfirst into birth work. I have loved every minute since. 

As I have grown through my experiences, I have learned that each women has within themselves an unlimited power, that once found is impossible to quench. 

Birth can be one of the most empowering experiences of a women’s life. It is a day she will never forget. 

I chose to certify through Stillbirthday back in 2019 and started my career as a certified birth and bereavement doula. In March of 2020, I touched my first placenta and was hooked, I certified as a placenta encapsulation specialist shortly after with Susan Mossman. In April of 2022 I certified again as a birth doula with Trisha Blizzard through DoulaVersity. After the birth of my second son my heart turned towards midwifery and I have now been certified twice as a birth assistant, with Micki Persons & Chelsea Doyle and through Utah Birth Suites in Provo, UT. I am also Phlebotomy, IV, Blood Born Pathogen, BLS and NRP certified.
