Transform Your Birth Experience with Support

About Jackie B.
Madriella Doula Network Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula
Hi! I’m Jackie. I have 3 beautiful children – who have each been born in a different birth environment. One hospital, one birth center, one at home! I support ALL types of births and all birth is beautiful. To me, there is nothing more beautiful than emotionally and physically holding your hand and watching a new life enter this world. I want all moms to feel safe and in control of their birth experiences, and I do that through calm and informative support throughout pregnancy and birth!
I am a Certified Birth Doula (MCD) and Certified Postpartum Doula (MCPD) through Madriella Doula Network. I am also trained and have an active CPR and First Aid certification. I am currently working on my Childbirth Educator and Breastfeeding Educator certifications, as well as studying in a midwifery program to one day provide homebirth midwifery services to Central Minnesota!
My passion is helping mothers through the beautiful and challenging journey that is Matrescence. My own varied experiences with birth, birth trauma, the highs and lows of breastfeeding and motherhood fuel my passion for helping others through this transformative period. I love to tailor my care to support the needs of each individual family – every pregnancy, birth, baby, and postpartum time is its own unique experience, and needs vary greatly. MY approach is evidence-based and science-backed, but as wholistic as possible. I care about your experience, your baby’s experience, and your birth partner’s experience. A mother’s intuition is a powerful thing! I am here to navigate fears, beliefs, expectations, and all the change that comes with this season of life. I also believe in the power of prenatal breastfeeding education and am always ready to help. In my postpartum doula role, there is no feeling that compares to the serenity of rocking a precious little one to sleep in the early hours of the morning, knowing their parent(s) are getting solid restorative rest.
When I’m not serving families as a birth or postpartum doula or engaging in coursework for my new credentials, I am outside with my children as much as possible! We enjoy gardening together as well as camping, hiking, and kayaking in the summer and sledding and ice skating in the winter. Indoors, I enjoy baking anything and everything with my family, but especially sourdough (and I’d love to share with you, if you’d like).
Jackie’s support made my birthing experience calm and empowering! She kept my husband calm so he could focus on ME! Her presence made the experience so much easier.
