“The effort to separate the physical experience of childbirth from the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of this event has served to disempower and violate women.”
Mary Rucklos Hampton

“Jen is an incredible person and doula. I was scheduled to give birth at the Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, and after much research I came across her profile and website.
Jen has beautiful energy and offers the upmost support, kindness, and love throughout the entire pregnancy and birthing experience. She was so committed and passionate in making my experience a beautiful one. She has to be one of the most dedicated doulas I have ever met. She is extremely patient and understanding. She cares deeply about her clients and goes above and beyond to accommodate their individual needs. She guided me throughout the entire process helping me with the challenges that come up with pregnancy, preparing me mentally, physically, and spiritually for labor, and assisting me in my recovery and post labor healing process. Much of our communication was virtual due to the pandemic, and I feel forever grateful that she helped me get through this pregnancy and labor during such difficult times.
Jen will help you and support you in every way she can. If it weren’t for her support, I would not have had such an amazing labor experience. It was truly magical. I highly recommend Jen to anyone who is expecting. She can assist you tremendously pre-labor and postpartum with all of the questions that come up being new parents, as well as alleviate many of the challenges that come during the recovery and postpartum stage.”
“Jen is amazing! I had the unmedicated birth I planned for with her support, and couldn’t have done it without her.“
