WELCOME TO THE NURTURED BUTTERFLY
HI, I'M JANICE.
I am a birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, a pediatric sleep consultant, a mother to 5 amazing boys and a natural born caregiver.
​
For years, I navigated the corporate world, diligently climbing the corporate ladder and achieving professional milestones. But something was missing...there was a stirring within – a calling to pursue a greater purpose that resonated with the essence of life itself.
My transition from the corporate world into the world of birth work was not just a career change for me; it was a deeply personal and intentional choice to align my skills and passion with a greater purpose.
During my years as a Clinic Manager for a women's health and prenatal clinic, along with the birth of my own children, the calling to support families during the sacred journey of birth into postpartum became undeniable that my passion and calling was to support and empower birthing parents during one of the most transformative moments of their lives - childbirth and early parenthood.
It was through my own professional and personal experience that I understood the importance of emotional and physical support, guidance, and empowerment that every family deserves during this life-changing transition.
​
With a background in the corporate world, I bring a unique blend of skills, including time management, project management, problem-solving, adaptability, empathy in leadership, and a strong work ethic, into my doula practice. My dedication to ongoing education and my commitment to staying updated with the latest evidence-based practices ensure that you receive the highest level of care and expertise.
​
My approach is rooted in empathy, evidence-based practices and a commitment to fostering an environment where parents can make informed choices, feel heard, and experience the magic of childbirth and parenthood with confidence.
​
I approach my work with a commitment to individualized care. I take the time to understand the unique needs and preferences of each family I serve, crafting tailored solutions that fit seamlessly into their lives.
​
When I'm not shuffling all the kids around between school and activities, I enjoy crafting, gardening, reading, and baking.
​
​I would be honored to be a part of your incredible journey into parenthood.
​
If you're looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated doula who is committed to ensuring you have the birth experience you desire and the support you need as a new parent, I would love to chat.
Birth Support
Embrace the strength and compassion of doula birth support, where continuous care, comfort, and advocacy converge to create a nurturing environment for your labor and birth.
​
Postpartum Support
Embrace a nurturing postpartum experience with our doula support. From breastfeeding guidance to emotional care, we provide compassionate assistance tailored to your needs, ensuring a smooth and supported transition into parenthood.
My partner and I had a wonderful experience working with Janice. She is organized, thorough, and reliable. She was proactive at the hospital and ensured the staff had our birth plan, helped create the ambiance we desired, and provided support for both my partner and myself. Janice was also intuitive in how to best assist me during labor, which stemmed from the thorough questions she asked in our preparation meetings. Her understanding of what my needs/wants were was key during labor as it did not require me to answer questions or make requests during the actual labor; she just intuitively understood how to match my energy. I highly recommend Janice as a doula and am so thankful for the opportunity to work with her.
