First of all, I would like to say that I have known Jennifer over 10 years and during this time she has demostrated that she is honest, reliable and a woman full of integrity. I am a Licensed Midwife and have been attending births for over 30 years. I work at Heart 2 Heart Birth Center and have had the priviledge and honor of attending one of Jennifer's births. She has a beautiful family, and has had beautiful births.
I also have had the honor and priviledge of having our patients take Childbirth Classes with Jenn. She is a fantastic teacher and is loved by all. One of the things I like best about her is that she does the best follow up of anyone I know! I recommend her classes and recommend her to be your doula. She will not let you down. She will deliver everything she promises and more! She is very attentive, loving, supportive and knowledgeable! She will make you feel that you and your birth are the most important thing to her including giving you all the attention you need. At the same time she will create confidence in your ability to give birth and empower you with your own strength.
Our patients love her and her classes and love having her as a doula. We always hear compliments and praise and never a complaint from our patients. You will have made the right choice when you choose Jenn!

Director of Midwifery at Heart 2 Heart Birth Center
Let's face it: Childbirth is a tremendously joyous occasion, and it is just as tremendously intense!
Now you wouldn't plan to run the Boston Marathon, or climb Mount Everest without preparing mentally, physically and emotionally, would you?
​
Preparing to birth your beautiful baby is yet another way to demonstrate your love for your "Itty Bitty!" Did you know there are 7 cardinal movements your baby needs to accomplish to complete the birth process? Do you know how to work with your body to facilitate these movements? I'd love to show you!!
What sets my classes apart from others:
I offer Christ-honoring, natural childbirth education classes.
​
I do more than teach breathing and relaxation techniques. I also focus on targeted exercises to condition the ligaments and muscles surrounding the pelvic region, to promote greater comfort and ease in pregnancy and labor, by incorporating a component dedicated to covering the Spinning Babies® approach. (See more info below.)
​
Also, I am passionate about involving and training the partner's of the expectant moms to be confident to provide comfort by assisting with specific maneuvers that work with her anatomy. This helps the mom feel better, and also assists your precious baby with the 7 cardinal moves he/she needs to complete during the birth.
Finally, I always provide parents with followup materials containing the notes and any links we cover during class.

Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation
​
This class helps you work with your body to get ready for the birth of your baby. Spinning Babies® approach adds more comfort in pregnancy and more ease in birth. Our body-centered approach can be used everyday in pregnancy, in early labor, and when helpful in active labor. After the stretches to let your muscles respond more easily there are birth positions to open your pelvis to let baby down lower in labor and while pushing. Practice these stretches just 15 or 30 minutes a day to grow trust with your innate abilities. You may find more calm and emotional resilience as well.

My Baby Can Sign!
Teaching a baby sign language is simply practical. The major motor skills to communicate with their hands and body are mastered much earlier in their physiological development than the minor motor skills required to perform speech. Children have an opportunity to build self-confidence by being understood by those to love and care for them, and parents and children alike have more fun when communication flows more easily.
​
This is an online 4-week basic American Sign Language class, introducing the most commonly used vocabulary by infants and small children. Followup materials will be provided for better retention. You will also receive access to an award nominated streaming platform to help further your learning in between (and beyond) lessons.
Additional 4-week courses are available for further learning and mastery.
