As part of World Doula Week, I want to re-introduce myself. For those who don’t know me, I'm Jessica, a Prenatal, Labour, Birth, & Postpartum Doula, Fertility Support Practitioner, Yoga Teacher, and educator of 15+ years. I currently reside in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I’m also a pilot wife, mother to a 5 month old, dreamer, traveler, and lover of the ocean & all things turquoise..
.
My multi-passion, life experiences, and various credentials allow me to support individuals and families as they navigate through life’s many journeys - chartered and unchartered waters. Through calm and stormy seas, I support clients with following their internal compass (aka intuition) to live a happy, healthy, and balanced life, regardless of what their goal/dream may be..
.
I’m passionate about saying YES! to life, facing my fears, and living it fully. To give you just a few examples: I backpacked around the world SOLO for 15 months 🌎 exploring over 20 countries (I’ve now been to 33 countries 🗺 ). I’ve lived in Northern Canada, lived and worked in 4 different cities in a 3 year time span, and volunteered in over 5 different countries. My adventurous spirit has taken me skydiving, scuba diving, swimming with sharks, sand boarding, surfing, and so much more, but my greatest accomplishment by far is becoming a mother..

As a yoga teacher and certifying Fertility Support Practitioner and Doula, I am passionate about bringing education, resources, skills, and empowerment to the people I work with. The journey to conception, labour & birth, and parenthood is a complicated one and it’s not always easy. My own personal journey has lit a fire in my belly to support others so that no one ever feels alone in these difficult and exciting transitions. My wish would be for each person to flow with grace and confidence through each phase of their life. I view myself as more than a support-person, but a friend and confidant to the people I work with. I’m someone to rely on and I’m so excited to connect with you..

In celebration of World Doula Week, I invite you to share with your friends and family my Doula & Fertility Support Practitioner work and family yoga services. Refer your peeps to me!
I love surprises! One of the greatest gifts I have ever given myself was keeping the gender of our baby a surprise. Despite it being torture for my poor husband who would have preferred to find out the gender at 20 weeks, he humoured me and we waited. The wives tales, guessing, and anticipation was exciting and I waited anxiously for one of the greatest surprises of my life. Few things in life are surprises, but I knew this would be one worth waiting for. By not knowing the gender, I also found that preparing for the baby’s arrival (who we lovingly referred to as “baby”, “piña” – pineapple in Spanish, or “they”) was easy and enjoyable.
