About Me

Hi I’m Jo,

My journey into postpartum work began long before I knew the word “doula.” I was the go-to “village auntie”- always showing up with a listening ear, helping hands, and snacks (always snacks). Over time, that instinctive care became a deeper calling: supporting new parents as a certified postpartum doula.

I’m married and a proud mom to a teenage son heading off to college. I became a mother young and felt deeply unprepared and alone in my own postpartum period. That experience shaped the way I show up now - with empathy, understanding, and the kind of care I once needed.

Instead of holding newborn babies, I hold new mamas. With a warm, grounded presence, I support your healing, rest, and emotional wellbeing as you settle into life with your baby.

I bring cultural sensitivity and a commitment to affirming care for every body and every story, especially in marginalized communities. You are not alone. You are held. You are seen. Tenderly.
