Rachel, Nurse Practitioner

Jessica is a one-of-a-kind midwife. When we started thinking about home births with our first child we just knew she was the one. After doing clinical job shadowing with Jessica I saw first hand how kind, compassionate, and hard working of a human she was. On top of that I quickly recognized that Jessica practices evidenced-based medicine in the most beautiful way - and so when it came to having our own babies, I knew that I would want no one else but Jessica to put my and our new baby’s life in their hands. Our first baby was not able to be birthed at home due to medical complications that we were made aware of at about 36 weeks and Jessica did everything in her power to make my c-section the best that it could be. Everything that I wanted and needed I had because of Jessica - skin to skin immediately after baby was born despite being in the operating room, vaginal seeding, family surrounding me very soon after the birth of the baby, and my husband and Jessica in the room the entire time. For our second baby, all I wanted was to have a vaginal birth! And Jessica helped me make that happen. It was the most beautiful, empowering, and soul-lifting experience. For our next pregnancy, Jessica was doing my first ultrasound and gave us the exciting news that we were going to be the parents of twins! Jessica through the entire pregnancy was calming and gave us the tools to make every decision we needed to make in regards to birthing the babies. I successfully birthed both babies vaginally without interventions and Jessica had a very significant part to do with the successful and healthy birthing of our twins (vaginally!) I trusted Jessica with my life and the life of our babies through pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum and I would absolutely recommend Jessica to any woman who is looking for a midwife who will help you bring your child into this world in a peaceful, calm, and safe manner.
