Supporting Your Birth Journey

About Me

Hello! My name is Jessica—also known as Jess or Jessie—a birth doula proudly supporting families across Temecula and San Diego. My journey into birth work has been deeply personal, as I became a mother at seventeen and just recently welcomed a new baby to my family last summer. Born and raised in southern Illinois and married to my wife who grew up in Israel, I blend Midwestern warmth with global perspective in every birth I attend. Having experienced motherhood as a teenager and supporting my wife through her cesarean journey, I understand firsthand the many ways birth can unfold. My mission is to empower and uplift women of all ages—whether they choose home birth, a birth center, or a hospital setting—and to honor every birth story with compassion, respect, and celebration. I’d be honored to support you on yours.

"I hold space while you find your power."

Water Ripple Effect

Escondido, CA

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jessica and the care she provided as my doula. From the very beginning, she was calm, knowledgeable, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. Jessica has a rare ability to make you feel both empowered and deeply cared for at the same time.

During labor, her presence was grounding and comforting—she knew exactly when to step in, when to advocate, and when to simply offer quiet support. Her confidence and warmth made a world of difference during such a vulnerable and transformative moment.

Jessica truly goes above and beyond. She is attentive, intuitive, and genuinely invested in the well-being of both the birthing parent and family. I felt heard, respected, and supported every step of the way, and I am so grateful to have had her by my side during this experience.

If you are considering a doula, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica. She is exceptional at what she does, and any family would be incredibly lucky to work with her.
