Jessica Parks
While studying to become an acupuncturist, Jessica completed an internship in Labor & Delivery at NYU’s Lutheran Medical Center, where she discovered her passion for birth. Shortly afterward, she trained with DONA International and, later, became a certified birth doula through Doula Trainings International (DTI). Since then, Jessica has supported families across the NYC area with warmth, presence, and deep respect for the birth process. She brings a unique, holistic perspective to her work, drawing on her background in Chinese medicine and yoga to support clients physically, emotionally, and energetically throughout their journey.

Birth Doula / Acupuncturist and Herbalist / Prenatal and Postpartum Yoga and Movement Specialist
Jessica has been supporting families through birth since 2017. Her journey began while studying to become an acupuncturist, when she had the rare and formative opportunity to intern in Labor & Delivery at NYU’s Lutheran Medical Center. After witnessing her very first birth, she knew immediately that this was her calling and enrolled in doula training without hesitation.
Jessica is a DONA International–trained and DTI-certified birth doula who has supported birthing people in hospitals and homes across the NYC area. She holds a Master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and runs a thriving acupuncture practice in Brooklyn with a strong focus on fertility and perinatal care.
In addition to her clinical work, Jessica is an 85-hour certified prenatal yoga instructor and regularly teaches prenatal yoga to teacher trainees. She has guided hundreds of pregnant people through safe and empowering movement practices, including her time teaching pre- and postnatal fitness at Fit Pregnancy Club in Manhattan.
Jessica brings a deeply integrative approach to her doula work, blending TCM principles with nutritional guidance, movement support, evidence-based information, and compassionate, intuitive care. Her clients benefit from her holistic perspective and the emotional presence she brings to every birth.
Jessica is also a mother of two, both of whom were born at home by choice. She hangs her hat in Brooklyn and enjoys camping, hiking, yoga, and tending (lovingly, if sometimes overwhelmed) to her ever-growing collection of houseplants.
