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

When I first met Jacquie, I knew she was a good fit. . She understood what I was looking for, and more importantly, what I needed in a doula. In the months leading up to the birth of my twin sons she offered support and guidance to me and my wife as we prepared our home and our hearts for two more boys (we already have one!) . After the birth of my twins, She seamlessly worked with my family, giving direction and support when needed, while avoiding stepping on anyone’s toes. She made sure I was eating healthy foods and routinely chased me with a water bottle. Jacquie offered suggestions and support (that were always backed by experience or research) around my breastfeeding goals, baby wearing and basic twin life hacks and made sure I laughed everyday as we powered through. I have no doubt that we would have somehow survived the first weeks with twins without a doula, but Jacquie made it a wonderful experience that I wish everyone could have.

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
