“The foundation of what I do as your doula is support your emotional, physical, educational, spiritual, and interpersonal needs in a way that makes the most sense for you and your family.”
Meet The Doula
Hello and Welcome! I’m Jessica Brown, a Southwestern PA transplant who fell in love with the mountains and creeks during my undergrad and stayed. Over ten years later, I’ve put down roots and have been nurturing my love of liminal spaces. That’s the Anthropology nerd in me gushing about transitions! Whether from single folks becoming parents or the literal transitional stage of labor, these in-between times and spaces are the moments when I see parents come into their power and bloom.
Kinda feels a lot like me saying “I love love!” Which honestly still fits - there is a LOT of love during birth and during parenthood. I feel honored to all the families that have welcomed me into their sacred space during such an immensely vulnerable and loving time. A huge thank you to all the wonderful folks who have allowed me to learn and grow with them.
I hope to have the joy of sharing what I’ve learned with you and your family, as I will inevitably learn from you as well!
“New mothers need to be mothered, to be nurtured and cared for by a support network that assists with physical recovery from birth, transition into infant care and the immense psychological leap into a new role”
Services
BIRTH SERVICES
As your birth doula, I would provide you uninterrupted support throughout the process of pregnancy, labor, birth, and immediately postpartum. I serve as a compliment to your existing birth team whether it be your partner, family or friends. I aim to bridge gaps in communication and ease the transition from pregnancy to birth.
POSTPARTUM SERVICES
As your postpartum doula, my role is most prevalent after the birth to begin the process of nurturing your family through the “fourth trimester.” I encourage and guide you through the ups and downs of raising a newborn while providing you peace of mind in those early weeks. I will walk with you and your family through the forest that is the fourth trimester and ensure you are supported through the journey into parenthood.
CONSULTATION SERVICES
Finding appropriate resources in your area can feel like a daunting task. I would assist you in finding and contacting potential resources. Such as chiropractors who are versed in prenatal, postpartum, or infant care. Take the stress out of finding what you need whether for your birth or postpartum.
INDUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES
Scheduled inductions happen. With them comes a lot of information and uncharted areas to navigate that you may not have prepared for. As an extension to my birth services, this allows me to support you before active labor during induction into early labor.
