Hello Love,
I’m Jennah, a holistic birth doula and matrescence guide. There is nothing that I love more than witnessing, nurturing and empowering a woman on the birth journey. I devoted myself to a year-long doula training program, much longer than most programs, in order to be thoroughly prepared for this path.
When working together, I’ll help you prepare holistically – mentally, spiritually and physically – for your labor. Whether you’re my birth doula client, or you’re attending one of my pregnancy circles, it is my greatest honor to help you weave one version of yourself to the next in this transitional time.
Let’s schedule a free consultation call to get to know each other better.
You’re not too early. You’re not too late.
When you feel pulled, it’s the right time to invest in yourself and find your doula.

Testimonials
"As an oldest-daughter-type-A-planner, I knew I wanted a doula to help coach me through my first birth experience. Specifically, someone with in-depth knowledge of birth and the birth resources in the Portland area. What I didn’t know was that I also needed someone who could guide me through the significant mental and spiritual changes that pregnancy and birth bring and Jennah is exactly this person. As to be expected, our birth did NOT go as hoped but thanks to Jennah’s support and guidance, we felt safe and empowered each step of the way. Do yourself and your family a favor and hire Jennah as your doula! (PS she has a very solid local resource list that I’ve used to find a pediatrician, lactation consultant, etc… and each recommendation has been great!)"

“Jennah has an innate gift for nurturing women and holding sacred space. Her heartful presence and quiet assuredness contributed to an atmosphere of safety, unconditional love, and peace. Jennah not only offered her hands-on support, she carried a reverence and respect for birth that all mamas deserve in that liminal space! I cannot express how much it meant to have a doula who could witness the birth with such spiritual attunement, who could show up in true selfless service. I felt so honored and loved throughout my time working with Jennah and my prayer is that all mothers can know this caliber of care!”
Sesha
“I chose Jennah as our Doula because she brought a magical, natural energy to our hospital birth. Although my birth was very fast, I used tools and information from Jennah while I was laboring before she even arrived. Everything she shared in prenatals was extremely helpful to prepare me for labor and birth. I would definitely recommend Jennah, especially to women looking to listen to their bodies and embrace every moment of childbirth. “
Jamie
“Jennah is a loving, warm, kind hearted spirit that brought us so much peace in preparation for our 2nd addition. We had a long labor and she was there every step of the way. She was very nurturing and ensured our wishes were met at the hospital while I rested. Once home she brought us nutritious meals and loved on me with a scalp massage, and performing reiki. She bonded with our oldest and gave mom and dad time to eat, shower, or just rest. We recommend her 100%, we absolutely enjoyed our experience and would hire her again!”
Alma
“After interviewing a few doulas we chose to go with Jennah because we found her both passionate and approachable. She also offered more prenatal visits and with it being our first birth that was important to us. Each visit we felt like we were talking to a friend, she’s so easy to open up to and made space for both me and partner to be heard and share our questions and concerns freely without judgement. The day I went into labor Jennah was so calm and helped me find my center again she also took photos of the birth that we’re forever grateful for and will always look back on. My labor was relatively quick so this was super special for us. The postpartum visit was one of my favorites, we got to talk about the birth have a good laugh, and after a whirlwind of a week as a new mom the reiki and scalp massage she gave me was so grounding and perfect. It made me feel cared for and seen. We would 100% recommend Jennah as a doula. She’s always learning and curious and brings those insights into her practice which makes her approach and knowledge special.”

“I feel so lucky to have found Jennah to be my doula at my second baby’s birth. I felt so supported and she helped me have such a calm and empowering birth experience.”
Allison
“I’m forever grateful for Jennah’s devotional care. She always trusted me and made me feel comfortable throughout our time together. She’s very in-tune and having her as my doula was instrumental in me having a positive and empowering birth experience. I labored for 31 hours and she was there for me and my partner every step of the way.”
