My name is Jacie, and I am happily married and a mother of two incredible boys and currently expecting my third child.

*I am a trained, CAPPA Certified Labor Doula (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association). 

*I am a certified Hypno-Doula

*I am a certified HypnoBirthingÒ Childbirth Educator

I have experience with both natural and medicated births, as well as, VBACs, c-sections, high-risk pregnancies, and home births.

I have had a real passion for pregnant mothers and babies for as long as I can remember. After giving birth to both of my children, I then became very motivated to help other mothers with this amazing process. I found that I loved giving advice to all of my pregnant friends about pregnancy and labor/birth, and that they were happy to ask me my advice about anything. I truly love helping and supporting other families during this incredible time in their lives. I really believe that who you have by your side, and the amount of support that you have during labor, can truly enhance the entire experience. I also have found through my experiences, that most mothers are unaware of the choices that are really theirs to make. I want to help to educate mothers about their bodies and about what a natural process birth really is.
