 About Jen

Pregnant mom preparing for natural birth
My interest in birth began in 2002 when I was pregnant with our first child. Although my hospital birth was fine and I got a healthy baby out of it, it left me feeling like I had a lot to learn. Over the next few years, I delved into studying physiological birth and gave birth to two more babies, one in 2005 at a birth center and one in 2008 at home. My home birth was a transformative experience.

I heard the calling to birth work in 2010, and took labor doula trainings through Birthingway College of Midwifery and Birth Arts International. I began attending births for friends and felt frustrated that one of my main roles as a doula seemed to be to help protect a couple's rights in a hospital setting. I realized that in order to really help families have empowered birth experiences, I would do better becoming an educator and a provider. In 2014, I began a 2 year full time midwifery apprenticeship at a beautiful birth center, and in 2016 I received my CPM (Certified Professional Midwife) credential from the North American Registry of Midwives and my license from the State of Oregon.

I began teaching a childbirth preparation series in 2012 to prepare expectant parents for low-intervention births and parenting a newborn. I draw on my background as a prenatal and postpartum yoga teacher in my pelvic floor wellness classes for women.

In early 2016, I began training with Carol Gray to learn the art of Craniosacral Therapy for Infants. I have found this therapy to be profound for the little clients I serve. CST has helped these babies breastfeed better, digest better, and be more comfortable in their bodies. It can be helpful for torticollis, plagiocephaly, tongue tie / lip tie, colic, infrequent bowel movements (all people, including babies, should ideally poop daily), head-turning preferences, asymmetrical features, sleeplessness, and more.

In 2018, I completed Tami Kent's Holistic Pelvic Care training, and am now offering that service to my community.
