Hey, Mama.
I’m Jerica SBD, CVD.
Mama to two in Heaven and two on Earth, I love all things birth.
You can usually find me with a coffee in my hand, reading books to my little guys, discussing natural remedies, or hanging out with high schoolers, as my husband is the high school pastor at our church.
It’s my mission to serve mamas through every part of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
I can’t wait to meet you!
My passion for birth began during my first pregnancy. I was fascinated with how a woman’s body was intricately designed by God and I fully immersed myself into the study of the body’s innate ability to birth. As a former teacher and life-long learner, I am constantly reading about birth and implementing my knowledge into my doula practice. I will tell anyone who is willing to listen how a woman’s body is to be celebrated through childbirth, not feared.
Birth does not have to be feared.
Did you know that when you are afraid, tension is created in your body?
When tension is present, pain is heightened.
My goal as your doula is to educate you well, and help you relax during labor and birth so that you can experience less fear as you welcome your sweet little babe.
Your body was created to do this, and I will be your biggest cheerleader along the way!

Certified VBAC Doula (CVD)
In October of 2024, I became certified as a VBAC Doula through The VBAC Link. This means I can serve mamas who have previously had a cesarean and would like to pursue a vaginal birth after cesarean.
