Psst...

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • Social and reproductive justice are important to you. You want a doula who will advocate for your right to pursue the full

    spectrum of options related to your body, your birth, and your baby.


  • Whether or not you intend to use pain medication, you want to use tools like movement, breath, and relaxation to stay

    calm, connected, and present.

  • You're a planner who wishes you had time to take all the classes and read all the books, but you're doing your best to release

    expectation and go with the flow.

  • You want a doula who is mental health and trauma-informed after experiencing fertility challenges, loss, past birth trauma,

    anxiety, or depression.

  • You value evidence-based best practices AND your body's intuitive wisdom.

Yep, we should definitely chat.

You're facing big decisions and big change. It's natural that you might have some big feelings, too.

We were never meant to do this alone.

Hi, I'm Jillian (she/her)

Birth Doula | Educator | Trauma-Informed Practitioner

I began my journey as a birth doula seven years ago when I was pregnant with my first daughter, and I've since supported over 100 births in the Twin Cities.

My goal is for clients to feeI educated & empowered to make decisions that are right for their body, their baby, and their future. Nobody knows what's best for you, except for you -- even if you need some guidance to access that inner knowing from time to time.

I approach my work with a healthy dose of both head and heart, appreciating what research and modern medicine can teach us while also honoring your cultural wisdom and knowledge of your own body. I'm humbled and honored to do this work, and I hope to have the chance to talk with you soon!

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jillian! From the very first meeting, she provided incredible support, knowledge, and reassurance.

During labor, her calm presence, encouragement, and expertise made all the difference. She worked seamlessly with my partner and medical team, ensuring I felt supported and heard.

Thanks to her, I had a truly positive and empowering birth experience."
