LOVE BIRTH SERVICES

Evidence Based Birth and Postpartum Support

Every birth is unique.

Whether it takes place at a hospital, birthing center, or at home, each birth is beautiful and deserving of personalized support.

No matter how or where you choose to birth your baby, you can benefit from having a professional birth assistant. I am with you all the way to guide you and support you so that you feel less stress, less discomfort, and feel that YOU are in charge of your birth. I am there for your support during your most vulnerable time so you can focus on the most important things.

You deserve a doula.

You can also find me on Doulamatch!

I am a Stillbirthday and Birth Arts International certified full spectrum doula and breast/chest feeding educator in training with Birth Arts International. I serve the Central Ohio area within an hour of NE Columbus. I will travel further than my typical range on a case-by-case basis.

A Bit About Me

My name is Jessica Love. My pronouns are she/her/hers. I am a mother to four children, and all four birth experiences were different. I saw my first birth as a child, and knew that this work is what I was meant for. I decided to become a doula after a wonderful doula attended the birth of my third child. I am dedicated to improving birth outcomes for families in my community. I am interested in herbal remedies and holistic healthcare. When I am not working, I enjoy some retro video games, geekery, sewing, crocheting, reading, gardening, and continuing my education.

Contact

Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding services or pricing. I am still adding to the website. There are 3 tiers of pricing packages available at this time. If you need to discuss payments or financial assistance, please email me.

Thanks for your patience.
