Meet Jessica

Certified Postpartum Doula | Daytime Support | Overnight Support

 

Originally from Mississippi, Jessica’s journey to Kansas City is a true love story. She met her now-husband while working in South Dakota in 2020. After two years of long-distance connection filled with phone calls, visits, and video chats, they knew they couldn’t be apart any longer. She moved to KC, and they recently tied the knot.

Jessica is a certified postpartum doula, also trained in adult and pediatric First Aid and CPR. She brings a nurturing presence to each home she enters - ready to support families with rest, emotional care, nourishing meals, and, of course, sweet baby snuggles.

Her professional background is in the culinary arts, with a specialty in breads, croissants, and desserts. She opened her own restaurant in 2016, and even after discovering her own food sensitivities, she remained passionate about cooking - especially for others navigating similar dietary needs. Her desire to support others evolved into doula work after reading a few life-changing books (recommended at a pool party, no less!) and reflecting on the kind of village she wished she’d had while raising her own son, now 21.

Jessica’s strengths include her deep patience, compassionate listening, and creative problem-solving - traits that make her a calm, capable presence for new families. When she’s not doula-ing, you’ll find her cooking over a campfire, hiking, sewing, gardening, watching movies, or planning her next adventure with the people she loves most.
