You deserve the birth of your dreams!

Our approach

Preparing for birth after cesarean can bring hope, questions, and feelings you weren’t expecting. You deserve space to explore what matters to you, understand your options, and feel heard.

I’m Jess, a VBAC doula and mother of three who has experienced a cesarean and two home births after cesarean. I bring personal understanding, practical preparation, and steady support as you navigate your own path.

Not planning a VBAC? You’re welcome here, too.

While I specialize in birth after cesarean, I also support mothers who want to prepare for a vaginal birth and reduce their chances of an unnecessary cesarean. Together, we’ll explore your options, prepare your partner, and build a foundation of knowledge and trust as you approach birth.

Together, we’ll make room for your questions, prepare your partner, and explore ways to help you feel supported throughout pregnancy and birth. Your voice, your intuition, and your choices remain at the centre of your care.

  • “From our first conversation, Jess made it easy to talk honestly about my fears, dreams and doubts. She listened, welcomed every question, and helped my husband feel included in the preparation. Having someone beside us who understood why this birth mattered so much meant more than I can explain.”

  • “What I remember most is how comfortable I felt with Jess and how her voice that always calmed me. Even when I felt overwhelmed, hearing her gently talk me through things helped me feel grounded and supported. There were things about my cesarean I hadn’t really said out loud before and she gave me room to talk. By the time my labour started, she felt like someone who truly knew me. Her reassurance, the way she noticed what I needed and her gentleness with our whole family are things I’ll always be grateful for.”

  • “Apparently planning a home birth with your first baby gives everyone permission to tell you you’re dreaming 😂 I heard ‘you’ll end up at the hospital’ SOOO many times. Jess encouraged me to dream, actually listened to what I wanted and helped us prepare. I got my dream home water birth!! So glad we had her with us and can’t wait to work with her again!"

  • "Jess knows her stuff!!! After my first birth, I had a lot of questions and needed more than someone telling me to ‘just trust the process.’ She helped me prepare questions for my appointments and understand what I wanted from my care. My husband especially appreciated having practical ways to help. In labour, Jess was steady and attentive. I felt like I had a voice this time, and having her there made such a difference."
