Meet Jen

Hi, I'm Jen

Birth & postpartum doula, somatic sleep specialist, and founder of The Parenthood Project USA. For over a decade I've walked hundreds of families through the whole crossing — preparing for birth, healing through postpartum, and finding rest in the early years. My work blends nervous-system science, somatic practice, and grounded, real-life rhythm, so you can understand what your body and your baby are telling you and respond with confidence and compassion. No rigid protocols. No behavioral "fixes."

"None of it is a behavior to train — it's a relationship to nurture. Birth, postpartum, and the nights that follow."
