Quinn+Fam-116.jpg — Hello! I’m Jess.

Answering the call to birth work humbles me and fills me with purpose. Every family deserves to be seen and held, to feel ease and empowerment, during the transformative experience of bringing life earthside. I feel so lucky to serve as a witness and companion, to fill the many gaps that exist.

My background as an agency director/partner taught me how to be adaptable & resilient, communicate & listen effectively, and navigate intensity with steadiness. A former competitive volleyball player and coach, I deeply value the roles of teammate and servant leader.

Now a lifelong student of birth work, I’ve trained in many areas and wear various hats. I’m a full-time birth doula and placenta encapsulator, and I regularly teach prenatal yoga and Hypnobabies. Body balancing (CST, BRM, Spinning Babies) and reiki are integrated into my birth doula care, and I take postpartum shifts for birth clients when I can.

I believe in body autonomy & agency, the physiological normalcy of giving birth, the power of our natural intuition, the importance of evidence-based care, and the safety net of modern obstetrics. I’m passionate about care provider/birthplace education & fit, mind/body/spirit preparation in pregnancy and supporting optimal fetal positioning. Together, better birth experiences are possible.

My practice is based out of Minneapolis, where I live with my beloved Great Dane, Phoebe. I love being outside in nature, cooking plant-based meals and grooving to good tunes.

It’s an honor to serve families and births of all kinds.
