Hi! I’m Jess
I’m a wife and a mom of 3 boys - a 4 year old named Hunter and 2 year old twins, Oliver and Emiliano. I’m from Maryland - just outside of Washington, D.C. But my family and I live in the Dominican Republic, my husband’s and sons’ motherland.
I’m a homebirth midwife practicing in the Dominican Republic as well as travel midwifery as needed. I’m also a certified yoga therapist with a master of science in clinical yoga therapy.
In addition to attending birth, I also support mothers and birthers in fertility and conception education and lifestyle support, I advocate for healthy pregnancy and teach birth preparation so that my clients feel prepared physically, mentally, and spiritually for birth and motherhood. I support the postpartum time with baby care education, breastfeeding support, and use the science of Ayurveda to support postpartum healing with nourishing services such as herbal baths, belly binding, vaginal steaming, abhyanga, and herbal infusions.
Can’t wait to learn more about you! Feel free to send me an email any time <3

"When I first came to you, I was honestly terrified that something was seriously wrong with my body, I had been afraid to exercise and move for months.
More than anything, you have given me the confidence I needed to start moving again, and I am feeling so much better as a result."
