My journey to held sacredly
Hi, I'm Jessie!
I am a pregnancy, birth, and postpartum doula based right here in Adelaide.
I am a proud mama to four beautiful children, 2 girls and 2 boys who are my entire world.
I have such a strong, goose bumpy, warm and loving passion for everything pregnancy, birth and postpartum, so much so its an on going joke with family and friends that i must incorporate my love for it into a career before i have 10 babies haha!
This warm fuzzy feeling i have always felt about birth, mixed with experiencing my own four very unique births. Which were each very different and each teaching me different things about advocacy, birth choices and the incredible power us women hold within us to birth our babies and bring them earth side.
For my 3rd birth i had a doula present, and i experienced a beautiful physiological, intervention free, sacred birth.
That birth had ignited an even stronger calling within me to support other women through their birthing journey and to hold such a precious, sacred safe space for women and their partners during such a precious time.
I am an open, honest book filled with humour, love and empathy & I am dedicated to supporting you birth, your way!
Your body, Your baby, Your birth
Through my services i will work with you throughout your pregnancy to create and hold a truly sacred space for you during your pregnancy, birth and beyond.
My consultation and prenatal appointments are where we build the foundation of our relationship and the foundation of your birth. I want you to feel aligned, supported and confident when it comes to your birth, and when connecting with me.
I am here to let you know you have options when it comes to birth. I am here to provide unwavering comfort, and to support you to find the immeasurable strength that I know you hold within you when it comes to birth.
Your body was made to birth!
It is your body, your baby, your birth and i am here to help you achieve the birth you envision, whatever that may look like for you, because it looks different for everyone.
Whether you want to birth at home, the hospital or are having a planned caescerean i am here with you and for you mama!
My goal is to ensure you feel heard, respected, and deeply supported throughout your entire journey.
From bump to baby and beyond.
Your birth, your choices, my dedicated support.
Postpartum - Mothering the mother
It doesn't just stop at birth!
More than anything, I want you to feel profoundly supported. From our very first conversation to the moments after your baby arrives, and into the 4th trimester.
I offer postpartum support to you if you wish. With at home visits post birth, offering guidance, comfort, and helpful resources.
I can provide newborn care and guidance with feeding and settling. I can also refer you to any services you may need or want access to, or provide you with helpful resources that are helpful to you, and much more in our postpartum visits.
Holding space for you in an emotional and transitional time, while you find your new rhythm into motherhood.
Mothering the mother in the postpartum period is so important too me!
