About Jessamyn

With over 21 years experience in bodywork and supporting expecting and new families, Jessamyn is a birth and postpartum doula, childbirth and new parent educator, infant massage instructor, and professional massage therapist serving the Greater Los Angeles area. As a second-generation birth professional, she is passionate about women being well-informed regarding the multitude of choices they have in the realms of birth and motherhood. Jessamyn prioritizes providing solid, evidence-based information to the families and birthing women she serves, and she feels endlessly honored to be invited into their sacred birthing spaces as they bring their new little ones into the world.

When someone gives birth or bears witness to a person giving birth, there is no denying the transformation that takes place, nor the magnitude of that transformation. A birthing mother deserves unwavering, continuous support throughout her labor, birth, and postpartum time. The services Jessamyn provides cater to this. Her background as a professional bodyworker enables her to utilize her massage skills and keen intuition in providing the relief each laboring and healing mother needs.

Jessamyn has been privileged to support birthing women in a variety of different locations around the United States, as well as internationally. Some of the places she has lived and worked include Tucson, Arizona; Las Vegas, Nevada; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Guadalajara, Mexico; and Sydney, Australia. Her exposure to the way families birth in these different locales has greatly shaped her understanding of birth as a transformational life event, and she enjoys sharing her multifaceted perspective with clients as they prepare for each of their unique journeys.

When not serving her community in the realms of birth and postpartum, Jessamyn enjoys photography, traveling, spending time with friends and family, and caring for her Westie, Junie. Jessamyn is based in Los Angeles, supports families virtually worldwide,  and additionally offers in-person doula support for expecting families in Philadelphia, PA.
