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."
