Meet Jessie from Earthside Doula

Hi! My name is Jessie and I am a doula in central MA. I’m a mom, a 200 hour certified yoga instructor, and a former elementary school teacher. Before moving into birth work, I worked in public education for almost ten years in various roles.

In 2023, I got pregnant with my first baby. After having my daughter, Poppy, in 2024, I truly felt called to move into the field of birth work and supporting other moms during one of the most vulnerable and beautiful times of their lives. For myself personally, I’ve always been so astounded and intrigued at the miracle that is pregnancy and birth, and what our bodies are capable of growing, holding space for, and bringing to this earth. I absolutely loved being pregnant and overall felt incredibly at peace and happy with how my labor and birth went.

However, I am not naive to the fact that not every mother has had this experience or will have it in the future. So as a doula, my goal is to make mothers feel supported, heard, validated and informed as they move through this journey.

I am passionate about helping educate them on research-based evidence and facts regarding pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum so that when their time comes, they feel as prepared and confident as they can feel. As a yoga teacher, I am also passionate about teaching others how much yoga and breathwork can benefit you throughout pregnancy, labor, birth and beyond and offer that as a part of my doula services.

My role as a doula is to be that grounded person who supports you and your partner as you navigate through this time — I am not there to replace any one person, but rather as an addition to your community and team of support so you can move through this period of life with knowing you were entirely in charge of each decision and made those decisions with understanding and knowledge behind them. If you’d like to connect, I would love to hear from you!

Here at Mother Nurture Postpartum, we know birth and postpartum support go hand in hand. That’s why we’ve partnered with trusted birth doulas who share our values of compassionate, evidence-based care- so you can feel supported every step of the way
