Hi! I’m Jaime (she/her).
I’m the doula, placenta specialist, childbirth educator, and sleep consultant behind Intuition Doula Services and I’m so glad you’re here!
Although in hindsight I can see that I had an interest in birth even as a child, I’d say my official journey into birth work began in 2016. I had happened to stumble across a birth photography account on Instagram and was immediately captivated by the raw, powerful, moving images of people giving birth. I remember thinking, “This is amazing! How is everyone not talking about this?!” Like most birth nerds, this led to an immediate deep dive into the birth world. I was devouring anything birth-related I could get my hands on. I watched The Business of Being Born, read birth stories and books about midwifery, and began listening to the Birth Hour Podcast, which features a wide array of birth stories - cesarean births, unmedicated births, loss, orgasmic births, inductions, unassisted births, traumatic births, you name it. I was amazed and hungry for more.
It didn’t take long for me to realize that my fascination for birth was meant to be much more - that my calling was to support families through the most meaningful, magical, challenging, transformative time of their lives - pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. So finally, after years of curiosity, I decided to take the first step toward my future and registered for a doula training. I trained with BEST Doulas in May of 2020 and have spent the last several years building my business, Intuition Doula Services, with the goal of supporting birthing people and their families on the sacred journey of creating their unique family.
Since completing my birth and postpartum doula training, I have also completed certifications in childbirth education, placenta encapsulation, and pediatric sleep consulting. My ultimate goal is to partner with families through the entirety of their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences, providing as many services as I can to ensure the transition into parenthood is as smooth and supported as possible.
I believe wholeheartedly that clients know what is best for them and their baby and that they should be at the center of their care. I simply exist to honor their intuition, respect their choices, and support them in whatever way I can as they journey through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.
Please reach out if you would like to learn more about my services or would like to partner together on this AMAZING journey set before you. I would love nothing more than to support you.
