Hi! My name is Jamie
BIRTH DOULA
I am a DONA trained Birth Doula in Louisville, KY and am currently raising three kids, ages 14, 12, and 6, with my husband of 15 years in beautiful Shelby County. I became a Doula in June of 2018 and it is a true passion of mine. I have personally had both natural and medicated birth experiences and I support all births! I believe every birth journey is unique and that's the beauty of your story!
After having a doula present for two of my babies, I quickly developed a passion and knew I wanted to be able to support others going through pregnancy and birth. I also know how challenging the Fourth Trimester can be and I l have such a heart to support moms in navigating through that postpartum season.
I am also super passionate about educating families and empowering you to be an advocate for yourself. I offer in-home birth education, phone support, and consults for families who want the knowledge and prenatal support, but don't necessarily want the full doula labor and birth presence.
DOULA LITERALLY MEANS A SERVANT, A HELPER TO COMFORT AND GUIDE.

Kind words
Jamie was an incredible encouragement and calming presence throughout our entire pregnancy, but especially during labor and delivery. She was attentive, supportive, full of good ideas on how to help me adjust and progress while laboring, and truly gave incredible moral support to both my husband and I during the last minutes of delivery. Because of Jamie's assistance, I was able to complete a natural unmedicated birth in an environment where I felt supported, loved, prayed for and cared for.

Jamie is very kind, gentle, and friendly. She is professional and relatable and worked patiently with our family to create a birth plan that would meet our wants and needs. Jamie provided support and encouragement to my hubsand and me, and our first child, during the final weeks of my pregnancy. During my labor and delivery, she was a comforting presence, assisted with managing labor pains, and advocated for me having the most positive birth experience possible. She also took several pictures right after baby's birth, to help us document his first moments. We were very blessed to have hired Jamie!

Although we took Lamaze classes and knew a few ways to help with pain naturally, Jamie was key to me surviving without pain medication for as long as I did. She helped direct my husband in how to help me while she also helped. Jamie was the perfect compliment to us. Eventually I got an epidural, but Jamie still played an essential part in my labor experience. She helped us ask questions or explained things that might come up so we could be more prepared. After our baby was born, she captured priceless moments on my phone per my request. Those moments are fleeting and hectic and these are just a nice cherry on top of having Jamie as your doula.
