Jade’s passion for birth began early and deepened through her own experiences as a mother. After welcoming her own children, she felt a clear calling to come alongside other women—helping them feel confident, supported, and truly seen throughout their birth journeys.
Jade brings a calm, steady, and non-judgmental presence to every space she enters. She takes time to intentionally get to know each client, creating a foundation of trust long before labor begins. During birth, she offers grounded support and gentle guidance, helping families feel informed, at ease, and empowered to make decisions that are right for them.
Since 2014, Jade has been supporting families as a birth doula, with additional experience in postpartum and bereavement care. She considers it a deep honor to walk with families through both joyful and tender moments, offering compassionate, personalized care every step of the way.
Jade is certified through ProDoula and Lifespan Doulas, and has received training through DONA International, Spinning Babies, and Body Ready Method.
Outside of her work, Jade enjoys life with her husband and their three school-aged children. She loves creating art, reading, and spending cozy evenings watching movies with her family.
