Embracing your unique family~

I know that each family has their own individual needs and I enjoy the challenge of molding my support to meet each parents’ needs. My passions are supporting solo parents, LGBTQ+ parents, and parents experiencing perinatal emotions.What does my postpartum support look like?

  • emotional support for those overwhelming feelings      
  • nonjudgemental practical support with evidence based information.                              
  • CLC support with body feeding and/or bottle-feeding
  • a stretch of restorative sleep/time for a peaceful shower                
  • build healthy sleep foundation, interpret infant cues                                                 
  • resources for your individual family needs                              
  • food preparation for optimal nutrition and healing    
  • organizing/cleaning baby laundry, bottles, and pump parts

Contact me and let’s meet and talk about postpartum support! Don’t worry if you are not sure of what you need. I will describe options for you after we chat. Do you have ANY questions? It’s going to be okay!  ~ Jacquie

Jacquie was recommended to me by my birth doula who was not available for overnights at the time. I booked her that same night and then extended it 2 nights and then another night a few weeks later. I still see her and keep in touch. She has become a part of my family. She is so friendly, caring, loving, understanding, knowledgable and confident. When your life is turned upsidedown by the birth of your child and you can’t think straight, call Jacquie. She will come to your house and give you a hug, lovingly take the baby into her arms, tell you to go sleep and then make you food and clean for you while you sleep. She also listened when I cried and helped me with nursing, and just showed so much compassion and care towards me and my family. Jacquie understands what it’s like and she truly truly cares for each family she meets. If you are even thinking about hiring an overnight doula, just pick up the phone or email her today. It will be the best decision you ever make. And her French Toast is the best I’ve ever had!!   ~Ellie’s Mom, 2017

Jacquie started supporting my husband and I shortly after our daughter was born and I can’t imagine anyone better. She listened withouth judgement and centered all of her support around the wellbeing of my daughter and I. Her support was transformative in how she continually affirmed me in my evolution into motherhood, and gave me confidence in this new existence. Most of all though, I trusted her. Not only with my daughter, but I also trusted that she would meet my vulnerability with kindness and compassion. And she did. From the first moment I met Jacquie I felt that she was not only practical and unflappable, but also deeply caring and protective. She continued to support us for several months and I was so grateful every day that she was with us. I can’t imagine those early months without her and credit her with making me a more confident and competent mother now. Thank you Jacquie! ~Mimi, 2019
