About Me

Hi! My name is Jenna, and I am a postpartum doula & newborn care specialist from Oak Park, CA.  I am a mother of two boys, ages 7 & 10.

​I have loved everything about birth, pregnancy, and postpartum for as long as I can remember. My love for it only grew after the birth of my first son almost 11 years ago. Our postpartum experience was relatively smooth, although I had the typical new mom panic. Two and a half years later, baby #2 came along and my postpartum experience wasn't as easy. I was recovering from an unplanned caesarean birth, while also battling multiple postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, almost completely alone. It was that experience that finalized my decision to work with families of new babies. No parent should have to do it alone, and even those with support can always use more! As a self proclaimed night owl, I have found my place in working with families overnight. I work hard to give the baby their much needed snuggles, while also creating healthy sleep habits that stick beyond the newborn period. I love watching my clients thrive in the postpartum period instead of just survive it!

Today I am continuing my education as a postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, & sleep consultant, while also working towards becoming a childbirth educator and placenta encapsulator. I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified through the American Red Cross.
