Jenn is a dream come true; I can’t imagine having gone through birth without her. My labor was quite fast and I didn’t get to use all the tools in Jenn’s extensive tool belt, but even just her presence there was helpful. And I think that’s something amazing about Jennifer – she is there for your birth, and SO MUCH MORE. Her attention to us before and after birth was worth its weight in gold. She helped us get extremely confident in our birth plan especially since she knows how birth in NV works inside and out. She relieved any nerves or anxiety we had during our prenatal check ins and postpartum she was an angel in guiding us how to take care of a newborn. Basically she was a master at both grounding us down and hyping us up! All the evidence points to the fact that having a doula makes birth better, but having Jenn specifically as a doula takes it to a whole new level. Book her while you can!

You can tell Jennifer has a huge, passionate heart from the moment your conversation starts. She asks great questions and is very encouraging. I highly recommend her all around!

I was lucky enough to find Jenn on Instagram looking for local doulas. Her page, blog and how knowledgeable she is intrigued me right away! We had an interview and it went so smoothly she’s a dream to work with. Meeting her in person she was so sweet, caring and informative. Having her on my care team made me feel so supported! She made my boyfriend and I feel very comfortable. She was on our side vetting for us and what we wanted. I had a long labor and I felt empowered through it all with her by our side. I felt like I was able to make informed decisions without confusion or hesitation because of how well informed we were thanks to Jenn! Parenting was so new to us and her visits with us postpartum reassured us we were making the right decisions in taking care of our little. All in all my pregnancy, labor and postpartum experience wouldn’t have been anywhere near as amazing as it was if it wasn’t for Jenn. I couldn’t say enough good things about her as a person or how seriously she takes her career and taking care of us mothers. She’s one of the most amazing human beings who’s passionate about what she does and it shows in her work and effort constantly! I absolutely recommend her services and I plan on having her join our care team again for our next baby!! Thank you so much for all you did for us Jenn, I cherish you and our journey together forever!!

While I work in the medical field and in women’s health I was still a first time mom and it was my first labor. You can do all the research and feel as prepared as possible but nothing was better than having Jenn as a resource. I got to take my medical hat off and just get to live the experience. My husband had a great resource and he knew i was being taken care of. I never felt like my questions were too small. I would absolutely have her again for my next labor and delivery
Rachael Brown
Jenn is simply a wealth of knowledge & connections! I feel so lucky that our paths have crossed. She make you feel seen and heard from the moment you meet. Love her honest and authentic nature and highly recommend!
Sarah Parise
I can’t recommend Jennifer highly enough! As a doula she balanced the right amount of care and oversight with respecting my instincts and my own experience. Jennifer was with me throughout the whole process of my sons birth and was a calming and nurturing presence that was vital for my complicated delivery. She helped coach me through every step, and was not only kind and considerate, she was professional and knowledgeable about all the aspects of birthing, delivery, and post-partum process. Jennifer checked back with me often after delivery to make sure things were going smoothly, and helped resolve a few things that I needed help with. She partners professionalism with a very warm and loving approach as a doula. If your looking for a doula, I can’t imagine anyone better!
Jacqui Tachick
Jennifer with Doula in Reno encouraged us and gave us some highly informative and useful real scenarios and practices we were able to use not only during our session but after we left for daily life. She was also upbeat and so kind towards us, would have her as a coach anytime!
Rochelle Wolcott
I am so grateful that Jenn was part of my birth team! She is an amazing doula and was so helpful throughout my pregnancy, labor and postpartum. I appreciate how she checked in with me regularly and was always available to answer questions. She was also so supportive during labor. I highly recommend Jenn to anyone looking for a doula!
Lesley Johnson
We are clients of Jenn the Doula and oh boy she’s placed special in our family’s heart. Our experience was exceptional her guidance from our first meet was beyond generous. Jenn’s knowledge, expertise and warm nature was is and will continue to be an invaluable contribution to our becoming parents journey. Jenn is logical and compassionate, her support during our pre birth, birth and postpartum was one of a kind. Jenn mothers the mother and works closely with the father (or mother’s partner) encouraging and guiding Dad’s unique role as a supportive partner during the entire process. With confidence we highly recommend Jenn’s Doula service!

Jenn is a kind and compassionate person. She meets you where you are at and gives you all her attention. She is a great listener. Her ability to read a room/situation shows that she pays attention to all things and this speaks of her amazing attention to detail. She will undoubtedly walk you seamlessly through one of your greatest struggles and greatest joys-childbirth. She comes highly recommended!

Jenn is a wonderful person; very passionate about what she does, which I believe makes for a doula who truly cares about the woman and her birthing process.

Roger Pollard
Jenn was simply amazing. My wife and I reached out to Doula In Reno once we knew we wanted to have a home birth. Being out of state to start, Jenn was accommodating and extremely helpful as we transitioned our lives into Nevada. Jenn went out of her way and met with my us several times before our due date. She was available at all time to answer out questions. When labor did finally arrive, Jenn was very quick to help and was a tremendous guide throughout. Her experience really showed that early morning. No doubt, I would 100% recommend Doula In Reno. Jenn was attentive, caring, insightful, overall a pleasure to work with. Thank you for everything Jenn!
Ronnie Lopez
Jenn was a great addition to our birth team! My husband and I had a planned home birth and knew that we wanted the guidance of a doula (that being said, I would recommend hiring Jenn as a doula for a hospital birth as well). When we were first looking to hire a doula we were living out of state and remained out of state for most of the pregnancy. Jenn was super helpful and accommodating for us. She would reach out to me frequently via text to check in and make sure that we were doing well. Jenn was very informative, supportive, and caring throughout the whole process. She answered all the questions we had and gave good suggestions. She helped both myself and my husband feel more comfortable with the labor and birthing process. When Jenn arrived at the birth, she jumped right in and was helping support me through labor as well as helping my husband in supporting me. I felt so well taken care of with Jenn as a part of my birth team. I would definitely recommend hiring Jenn! She was such a pleasure to work with. Thank you for making the birth of our first baby amazing, Jenn!
Chelsea Lopez
I worked with Jenn in 2019. It was a blast: Jenn is curious, energetic, compassionate, and considerate, making the personal experience a fun and interesting one. Jenn cares a lot about the people she works with her and spends so much time creating work that can inspire and help others; it’s what she’s driven to do, and she’s really good at it.
Savanna Schiavo
One of my highest values is authenticity, and Jenn embodies that to the nth degree! Her willingness and vulnerability to express deep interest and care in the lives of others is refreshing and inspiring 🙂

Doulas do NOT:
Replace the partner or caregiver
Act as a medical professional, psychologist, or other mental health professionals
Perform any clinical tasks such as checking or interpreting fetal heart tones, checking cervix for dilation or effacement, taking blood pressure, suggesting medications
Provide belly massage to turn a breech baby
Contradict caregiver’s advice
Doulas do:
reduce the overall Cesarean birth rate
reduce the length of labor
reduce Pitocin use
reduce the need for forceps delivery
reduce requests for epidural pain relief
decrease negative childbirth experiences and trauma
work with you, to support your plan and your decisions
A birth doula is a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and educational support to the mother, before, during, and after birth.
The word "doula" comes from ancient Greek, meaning "woman who serves." Quite literally, a doula hired for your birth is there to serve you, the mother, and support you and your family in any way she can.
While doulas are not primary caregivers, many pregnant women rely on doulas throughout the pregnancy period to help them sort through their choices to make their own informed decisions. The prenatal appointments are designed to assist you in educated and informed decisions, so you have a solid plan going into labor.
Doulas understand pregnancy and childbirth as a normal part of life, not a pathological condition requiring treatment. Doulas can focus on supporting the natural birth process and also advocate for the mother to create a birth plan for the hospital environment.
Doulas are not necessarily anti-intervention but focus more on education so the family can utilize those informed decisions for the best possible outcome regardless of what the Mom decides.
I am very comfortable in a hospital setting for natural childbirth, the use of medications, or in the event of a cesarean as well as at home births.
CURRENT VOLUNTEER POSITIONS:
DOULA CO-OP OF NEVADA Medicaid Liaison, helping doulas go through the process to become Medicaid providers, Board Member, and DAP Program Coordinator with Renown Hospital.
Doula Certification Advisor for the Nevada Certification Board on their Curriculum and Continuing Education committee as well as a Board Member.
President of the Northern Nevada Breastfeeding Coalition.
Childbirth Educator for Real Choices Women’s Center
