About me

Hello everyone! My passion for childbirth support stems from my own personal experiences as a mother. I understand firsthand the intense emotions and physical challenges that come with bringing new life into the world. My experience allows me to provide personalized care to each family, ensuring they feel empowered and supported throughout the entire process. As a luxury doula, I understand that my services extend far beyond traditional birthing support. I approach each family with a holistic perspective, providing not only physical support during childbirth; but also emotional and mental support throughout the pregnancy and postpartum period. As a seasoned mother, I have had the pleasure of experiencing childbirth in a variety of settings. With each birth, I had different preferences, needs, and desires for my delivery experience. After my last son was born I knew I wanted to cater to all birthing people and their partners. To be able to experience a natural positive birth as I did was a pure luxury to me. I had a vision of what more I could offer to birthing people and I can’t wait to bring my vision to life with each and every one of you! My first childbirth experience was at a hospital. As a first-time mom, I wanted the security and reassurance provided by medical professionals, and the hospital seemed like the safest choice. I appreciated the access to advanced medical technology, the availability of an epidural, and the presence of nurses and doctors to guide me through the process. Although I appreciated them if I would have known what I know now, or had the luxury of affording a doula I know my choices would have been a little different. The hospital setting did give me anxiety and being uninformed did not help with that at all. My second childbirth experience was at a birthing center. At this point, I was more confident in my ability to give birth and sought a more natural and calming environment. The staff at the birthing center provided a homier atmosphere with dimmed lights and soothing music. I felt more in control of my delivery and was able to move around freely, switch between different positions, and use a birthing tub. I was able to use the power of hypnobirthing during my second childbirth experience and it was truly life-changing. For the entire labor process, I felt absolutely no pain at all. The personalized care and attention given to me and my family were exceptional in the birthing center especially with them listening to me advocate for myself and my body. My third and last childbirth experience was at home. By this time, I had a strong desire for a true home birth experience. My home birth was the absolute most empowering moment of my life. I was surrounded by family only up until my transition phase in which my husband called my own personal Doula over and she gracefully helped me out of that last phase and to slowly breathe my baby out. My dedication to my clients is unwavering, and I am committed to helping you achieve a positive, safe, and fulfilling birth experience. With me as your luxury doula, you can rest assured that you and your family will receive exceptional care, support, and guidance every step of the way.

Standard Doula Package
I will meet with you before birth to discuss your birth preferences, answer any questions you have. My goal is to provide expectant birthing people with the highest level of care and support during their pregnancy journey. Please see all included birth support services below.: 2 Prenatal Visits 2 Postpartum Visits 24/7 Phone/Email Support Labor Support up to 24 hours First 48 Photos (up to 25) Personalized birth plan Help adding services to your baby registry 1:1 Insurance Reimbursement meeting During our first prenatal visit, we will discuss a personalized plan with you and establish availability and appointments with our professionals. This plan will help you make informed decisions about your birth preferences and be able to communicate them effectively to your care team. We will all discuss transportation to and from appointments during this plan as well. Emotional Support Emotional support is paramount during the birthing process. As a doula, I provide a non-judgmental and safe space for individuals to express their fears, hopes, and concerns. I offer a listening ear and a comforting presence, creating an environment where clients feel empowered and supported. Through affirmations (that I will show you how to create), encouragement, and active listening, I help ease anxiety and provide emotional stability. Physical Support Physical support is also crucial during birthing. A doula is well-versed in a range of comfort measures including massage, relaxation techniques, and positioning support. I work with my clients to identify their preferences for birth and ensure they are as comfortable as possible. Additionally, during labor, I may advocate for my clients and communicate their needs and desires to the medical team. Birth partner support and guidance I fully innerstand the importance of having a knowledgeable and compassionate birth partner during labor and delivery. However, even the most supportive birth partner can feel overwhelmed, unsure, or simply need a break. This is where a doula can provide invaluable support. A doula is essentially a professional birth companion who works alongside the birth partner throughout the entire childbirth process. One of the main ways a doula helps is by supporting the birth partner, whether that’s via emotional support or physical comfort measures. Informational Support I provide informational support which includes prenatal coaching, intervention awareness, newborn education, and chest feeding education (see prenatal services for chest feeding consultations). I help clients understand their birth options and make informed decisions about their care. This includes providing evidence-based information about medical interventions, helping clients understand the stages of labor, and assisting in crafting a birth plan that aligns with. Making sure my client is being told factual information is important to me therefore I will go above and beyond to make sure you are able to advocate yourself based on your proposed birth plan. Comfort and pain relief We will use different techniques such as massages, and breathing exercises. As a doula, one of my primary roles is to provide comfort and pain relief to expectant mothers during childbirth. I believe that every woman deserves to have a birth experience that is as comfortable and pain-free as possible, and it is my job to help make that happen. Also, as a hypnobirthing practitioner, I am able to teach you the techniques that will help you to achieve a pain-free birth. There are numerous comfort measures that I use to help my clients throughout their labor and delivery. Some of these measures include massage, gentle touch, aromatherapy, visualization techniques, and guided relaxation exercises. By using these techniques, I am able to help my clients relax and feel more at ease, which can help to reduce anxiety levels and decrease pain. In addition to these techniques, I also work with my clients to help them understand their pain management options. Even though I am more of a holistic doula I will provide you with information about different pain relief methods, such as epidurals, nitrous oxide, and IV pain medication. I help my clients to make informed decisions about their pain management preferences, and I support them in communicating their needs and desires to their healthcare providers. Ultimately, my goal as a doula is to help my clients have a positive birth experience. By providing comfort and pain relief, I am able to help them feel more empowered and in control of their births. Labor positions We will discuss different labor positions to help alleviate pain. I will provide you with a rebozo so you and your partner are able to bond together while also using techniques to relieve pressure. Birth room setup As a luxury doula luxury HAS to be a key factor. You deserve to feel exquisite while bringing in new life. I will post affirmations on the wall for you, hang fairy lights, etc. No matter what setting you are in I will make sure your area is perfect. Tools ⪢ TENS Machine - uses electrical impulses to relive pain. Please see this article here to learn more about the TENS machine. ⪢ Diffuser ⪢ Rebozo ⪢ Heat Pads ⪢ Birthing Ball (better to purchase your own to ensure you have the correct size, but I will provide one just in case) ⪢ Speaker ⪢ Massage Oils

I am writing this review as a WARNING to all expectant moms, especially first time mothers. I would give Johrdan 0 stars if allowed here. I apologize in advance for the length of this review. It has been a horrible process dealing with Johrdan's scams and if you want an honest review of her services from someone who has actually used her business, then mine is the one. We met with Johrdan for a consultation in mid March '25, about a month after I found out that I was pregnant. She spoke of glorious experiences during her own birth, how she would support us throughout our pregnancy, doesn't matter the time. One thing she did note in our consult, which in hindsight we should have known she was bad news, is that if any "problems arise then we should all be able to talk about it like adults" because she is all about "good vibes and good energy, and big on communication" and that's how she likes to maintain her business relationships. Lies. Now we are not rich AT ALL. My partner works a minimum wage job and I was a teacher assistant and student on medicaid. We paid Johrdan in full $1200 at the signing of the contract. BIG MISTAKE. (I found out from my midwives later after telling them what Johrdan has put us through that doulas in our area usually do not accept full payment. It is often half up front and half after the baby is born). The most important points that Johrdan breached in our contract outlined 4 prenatal visits and response to texts and calls within 3 hrs in the first 37 weeks. She ONLY met with us again on March 31st after the consult. What followed from then until I told her we would be terminating our contract with her in July was: a series of sparsely answered texts coming within weeks of us reaching out; unfulfilled promises to share information outside of some pictures taken on a phone of papers with bullet points about what to expect from pregnancy and birth lol that we could have and did find on our own on the first page of a google search; emails sent to the wrong addresses over the course of months; standing us up on appointments twice with no notice or word until WE contacted her; and FINALLY ghosting us without refunding our money for lack of service. Throughout all of this, she wouldn't respond to messages for weeks at a time and then called literally twice to laugh and say "girl, I've just been so busy," promise to send information and then not do it until we would ask about it days later, only to send it days after the inquiry. The second and final time she called (out of our entire contract with her) it was to say she'd send her birth plan template, one that ended up being an online template from Earth Mama Organics. she never sent it until I asked again then she set up an appointment which she stood us up for without word. then she stood us up again at the one she rescheduled after standing us up! She had the audacity to ask for another chance to be a better doula for us because she *quit* her job. We said no of course but then we found out that she posted a gofundme for herself alleging that she *lost* her job and has exhausted all of her resources (one of them actually being the money she stole from us) so she needs help getting money for her custody battle. I am not here to judge for that, I am more concerned with why she wasn't upfront that she could not fulfill the duties we paid her for, refunded our money and then we could have all went about our ways. Instead, she ghosted us with our money and added on to an extremely stressful time in my pregnancy that eventually sent me into preterm labor at 35weeks. This was a YEAR ago. To this day she refuses to answer us back with even a plan of how she will pay us back, as is outlined in her contract. Dealing with Johrdan has not at all been a luxury experience. It has been unprofessional at least and a complete scam at most. DO NOT, for any reason, choose Johrdan's business for your doula services. You will be disappointed. She has a lot of maturing before she is able to extend trust to her clients. Please do not find yourself and your family in the predicament we are still in with her now.
