MEET YOUR DOULA
Hi, I’m Jacquelyn
Here to support you with calm, confidence, and clarity
Hi, I’m Jacquelyn — a Birth Doula, Birth Educator, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, and Online Sleep Support Consultant serving families in Orange County and beyond. I’ve been serving the birth community for over 10 years, supporting mothers through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with calm, steady guidance so you feel informed, confident, and supported every step of the way. I also wrote a book, Birth With Confidence, which is something very close to my heart. I created it to reach more mothers who want support but may not be able to have a doula by their side. I truly poured my heart and soul into it as a way to extend that support beyond in-person care. In my spare time, I love being a mom — I’m a soccer mom, a homeschool mama, and someone who truly enjoys family life. I love 90s music, horseback riding, hiking, camping, and spending time outdoors with my family. We also foster puppies, which keeps life fun and a little unpredictable. Staying calm in chaos is one of my superpowers — and something I bring into every birth I support.

Testimonial
EXCELLENT Based on 2 reviews Posted on Laurel HernandezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Writing about our experience and review on someone who was so intentionally present for the most monumental moment in our lives and helped bring our child into the world is honestly hard to put into words. The level of support and help her presence and wisdom as a Doula and woman she provided was far beyond anything that my husband and I expected. My husband and I are first time parents so had no idea what we would need when finding a Doula. We met and talked with a couple different Doula’s and immediately felt the most comfortable with Jacquelyn. We also quickly learned that having someone who was able to support my husband and I both was very important to us. Throughout pregnancy Jacquelyn was so intentional about providing information and answering questions that came up from my husband and I about really everything. She gave ample resources to us and gave such helpful suggestions for things we could implement in our pregnancy as different things arose. She helped us make a birth plan that was so intentional and so true to our preferences. Then when the day came and we went into labor she helped us to navigate early labor and came exactly when she had told us she would be when discussed at previous meetings. Both my husband and I agreed that our birth would not have gone as beautifully and intentionally had we not had here there are a grounding presence. She was there for every single moment. Anticipating my needs, helping me to stay grounded and in my body throughout, and also helping to educate my husband about what to expect at each turn in birth. She also did a really exceptional job to help us feel prepared through each moment while still not ruining the surprise of the experience. She also encapsulated our placenta for us which was a seamless process. She delivered the pills and tincture to us very soon after birth so I could have the nutrients from the placenta pills. I have been taking them since and feel very happy with my decision to get our placenta encapsulated. It’s definitely been helpful. We LOVE Jacquelyn and are so honored she got to be there for our birth. We are eternally grateful to Jacquelyn for being our Doula.Posted on V - YTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great!
My first birth was super traumatic and I honestly didn’t know if I could do it again. But Jacquelyn made me feel safe and heard every step of the way. This birth was so different—it was redemptive. I actually feel proud of my birth story now.
