Welcome! I am delighted that you are here!

My name is Jenna Lynn Gissendaner.

I am a Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Birth Advocate.

Whether you are having a home birth or a hospital birth, this is your first baby or one of many, a Doula is an important and invaluable resource for your birth team. During pregnancy, labor and the postpartum a birthing person and their family go through profound life changes that are incomparable to any other human experience. Unfortunately, it is not all that uncommon in our society to forget the sanctity of birth and in doing so invite fear, uncertainty, pain, confusion and endless difficult choices into our beautiful stories. So how do we step back into tradition? Where you are nurtured in the postpartum, where you make informed decisions, where you feel safe and where your natural power to give birth is not only recognized but enhanced? Well, a great place to start is by inviting a Doula to join your story. Through gentle guidance I aim to give you all the tools you need to navigate this time of great change with peace and strength in the hopes that you may be truly empowered by it. There is no denying this journey of becoming a parent or bearing more children will be an emotional one filled with many ups and downs, but you hold so much power to make this exactly what it needs to be for you to grow into the empowered being you are meant to be. My hope is that having this opportunity doesn’t just get you through pregnancy, labor and the immediate postpartum. I want you to be able to take these tools and apply them throughout your whole life. And I know that you can, you just have to be open to the possibilities. (Don’t worry, I'll show you how!)

Doulas are an important part of your birth team!
