My name is Jordan Towns and I have served the role as an Emotional Support Coach/Companion for over two decades to women and men encountering a full range of life encounters. It was in Spring 2023 that my journey to become a Doula was initiated and what a journey indeed it has been. Marked by my strong ancestral roots and divine gifting coupled with an experience that allowed me to grow deeper in tune with my body as a woman and what it means to be empowered and supported in my connection to it, I moved to become a Birth Doula and completed my formal training with Doulas of North America International in the “Art of Labor Support.” Now I have the honor of providing continuous, culturally appropriate support, non-medical advice, and physical comfort coaching to women and their partners during pregnancy, the birth ceremony, and the adjustment period after. It is this support that is critical to counter systemic medical racism and socioeconomic barriers that families face.

As a first time mom it was important to me to be surrounded with individuals who would honor my wishes and be supportive throughout my pregnancy and postpartum journey -- this is exactly what I received from Jordan! Her support ranged from helping me think through my labor preferences to processing different feelings I experienced during my pregnancy to supporting me as I developed a plan for how I would care for my body in those early postpartum days. I am forever grateful for the physical, emotional, and spiritual support Jordan provided over the course of my journey to motherhood.
