Jackie believes that Postpartum Doula care is not a luxury, but a necessity for all families, and is committed to reimagining the potential of the foundational time.

Over the last two decades, she has served hundreds of families in the San Francisco Bay Area to reclaim the postpartum transition and center healing, celebration, rest, and connection. 

Jackie founded Birth Realm to radically shift how the U.S. approaches postpartum care and how we view and support birth work as a profession. Birth Realm’s unique honeycomb model of care ensures postpartum doulas have the same support structures that they tirelessly provide to families. 

She is beloved by her clients and team alike for her passion, knowledge, and ability to see the needs of the family as a whole. Jackie creates a warm, nurturing environment for parents to cultivate their own unique parenting style. She continues to be a vocal advocate for the importance of postpartum doula care and caregiving.

Originally from New York, Jackie lives in Sebastopol, CA, with her two daughters, loving husband, and cats. She is a beach bum and bagel lover.
