Meet Jen

I began this path back in 1998 when I became interested in essential oils, herbs, and holistic wellness.

 

In 2004, Conscious Alchemy came into being, and I formulated handcrafted skincare for local stores. In 2011, I became a Massage Therapist, specializing in fertility, prenatal and postpartum massage.

​

In 2012, while pregnant with my 3rd child, my midwife took me under her wing, encouraging me to become a doula and training me as her birth assistant.

 

I fell in love with birth and am now a Labor and Delivery Nurse at a local hospital.  After spending time at the bedside, I recognized the value of quality education and preparation, and became certified as an Evidence Based Birth Instructor and Spinning Babies Parent Educator. 

​

Building on my Spinning Babies education, and recognizing how much my knowledge of anatomy, and background in massage therapy impact my relationship with birth, I decided to train in the Breech Release. Both to be able to offer an alternative to ECV's to my clients, but also to deepen my understanding of the pregnant body. 

​

I am currently a student of midwifery at Frontier University's Certified Midwifery Program, and my intention is to graduate in 2027 and become a home birth CNM.
