Packages
Birth Doula
Birth Doula Package This package includes four appointments designed to fully prepare and support you through birth. • Two prenatal visits: During the first visit, we create a personalized birth plan, review your pregnancy so far, and talk through your vision for labor and birth. The second visit focuses on finalizing your birth plan, labor positions, comfort measures, and early signs of labor so you feel confident and prepared. • Birth support: I join you at your place of birth and remain with you throughout labor, staying 1–2 hours after delivery. • Postpartum visit: An in-home visit after baby is born to debrief the birth, provide early breastfeeding support, and connect you with helpful postpartum resources.

Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is often chosen to support postpartum recovery by helping replenish nutrients after birth. Many parents report benefits such as increased energy, mood support, and assistance with postpartum healing. An alcohol-based placenta tincture is also included and is commonly used long term in small amounts for hormonal and emotional support. This package also includes a handcrafted umbilical cord keepsake, preserved as a meaningful remembrance of your baby’s birth. I am a certified placenta encapsulation specialist and trained medical courier, following strict food safety, handling, and sanitation standards with hospital-level care. I take great pride in careful handling, professionalism, and a fast turnaround time so you can begin postpartum support as soon as possible.

I delivered at a hospital with Jacquelyn and also used her placenta encapsulation services, and I can’t recommend her enough. She was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and calming throughout the entire process. During birth, she advocated for me, and truly made me feel cared for every step of the way. Her placenta encapsulation services were seamless and professional, and everything was handled with so much respect and care. Jacquelyn is passionate about what she does, and it shows. I’m so grateful to have had her support during such an important time.

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.
