Hello,
,
I’m Jocelyn
‘
I get it—being in labor comes with a whole world of feelings, from joy to stress. You don't have to navigate this journey alone. I'm here to offer you balance, comfort, and the support you deserve.
My Journey to Becoming a Doula:
"I was drawn to becoming a birth doula because I saw firsthand the difference that informed, loving support can make. Having gone through my own birth trauma, I realized that a little help goes a long way during this tender phase."
Experience and Credentials:
"I bring 4 years of heartfelt service to my role as your birth doula. I am certified in labor and birth support as well as breastfeeding education and have attended numerous births and lactation consolations. My experience has taught me how to effectively support clients so they can truly enjoy this special chapter."
What Sets Me Apart:
"What sets me apart is my commitment to you. You're not just another client; you who deserve to feel confident, heard, and to be cared for. I tailor my support to your unique needs, whether it's helping you through pregnancy, childbirth, and/or with breastfeeding."
What I Believe:
"I don't just focus on having a healthy baby; I take a holistic approach that includes nurturing you. Childbirth requires a supportive birth team, and I aim to be a valuable part of yours."
My Approach:
Personalized Support:
"Your story is unique, and so are your needs. Whether this is your first baby or you’re adding another bundle of joy to your family, I adapt my support to fit your situation."
Knowledgeable Care:
"I don't just go by the book; I stay updated on the latest evidence-based practices in labor and lactation care. I bring you tried and true methods that work."
Flexibility:
"Life doesn't operate on a 9 to 5 schedule, especially with a new baby joining the world. That’s why I offer labor support during the daytime, nighttime, and even on the weekends.”

A Calming Presence
“Jocelyn was such a calming presence while my husband and I were navigating the birth of our first child. She took the time to understand what my hopes and expectations were, and provided support in the hospital accordingly. When the doctors offered options, Jocelyn was able to translate the medical language and provide insight on how it fit my desires without adding pressure in either direction. I felt in control of an otherwise overwhelming experience, and we are so grateful that we were able to have her there.”

Non judgmental Support
