About Jesse
I have always loved babies. As a child, you could find me snuggling the newborns and entertaining the other kiddos at family gatherings. It wasn’t until I gave birth in 2015 that something shifted and I was living the postpartum experience myself. I realized that yes, I loved all things birth and I consider myself a certified birth nerd, but there was something missing. I just had this life-changing experience, but everyone wanted to hold my baby. Who was holding me? That part of your story matters. As a parent and birth worker, I will walk alongside you as you navigate this new version of yourself - and I am grateful to see it.
I took my doula training in 2019 and completed a 16-week full spectrum program and began to pursue my doula career. I work in the Calgary area as a birth/postpartum doula and birth photographer. I have had the opportunity to support families in the comfort of their own homes and in local hospitals around the city. I believe in informed choice and evidence-based care, and that your autonomy matters. My goal is to make sure you feel like an active participant in your birth because your birth is yours - it shouldn’t just “happen to you.” I’m not here to push an agenda, I’m here to meet you where you are. This work fills my cup. I love witnessing people step into their power and intuition as they welcome their babies into the world.
I’m a busy mom of two young boys, and I always knew it would be that way…Intuition I guess. I have two cats and a dog - it’s a full house! It’s chaos and I love it. I’m a geek at heart and I love a good fantasy series. I’m a born and raised Calgarian which means the Rocky Mountains hold a very special place in my heart. I like caffeine, but, if I’m being honest it’s necessary at this point and most parents would agree with me. The more I do this work, the more I realize I don’t know and yet, somehow, I trust the process so much more.
