Where to find Essence of Birth
What this center offers
“Throughout the remainder of my pregnancy Jasmine gave me the tools and knowledge to have a successful natural, home water birth.”
“She’s not only an amazing doula but also an incredible midwife whose experience and compassion shine through in everything she does.”
“Our home birth was everything we had hoped for, and Jasmine’s warmth, wisdom, and inclusive care made us feel truly seen and respected as a same-sex couple as well.”
“Even when our journey took an unexpected turn and we ended up in the NICU afterward, for reasons unrelated to our home birth, Jasmine never left our side.”
“My family considers her one of our own after she delivered our second-born with shoulder dystocia at home and served as a doula for our third baby at the hospital.”
“She helped my husband and I feel prepared and supported throughout the prenatal appointments which I believe allowed for a smooth and healthy labor and delivery.”

What parents say
My wife and I will never find the words to fully express our gratitude for Jasmine. As a first-time mom, I felt so many emotions! excitement, anticipation, and moments of uncertainty, but from the very beginning, she made us feel completely safe, supported, and confident.
I had my first home birth experience with Jasmine and I wish I had this same experience with my first birth..and I truly wish every woman had this level of support, encouragement, and love during this time of our life.
Jasmine is absolutely incredible! Working with her through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is the best choice we could’ve made for our family. We know that we’re safe in her care because of her depth of knowledge and experience. But what makes Jasmine truly special is the love she shows every step of the way.
I had an amazing experience with Jasmine back when she was a doula and in school for midwifery. She was easy to reach during my pregnancy and was there during and after childbirth. I felt heard, seen, and informed. She helped me create a birth plan, and recommended a few books that helped me during labor.
