Postpartum Doula
Jessica Smiley is a doula with nearly a decade of experience supporting families through the tender transitions of early parenthood. As the youngest of eight siblings, she witnessed many paths into parenthood firsthand—each shaped by different needs, values, and challenges. In 2005, Jessica began her journey in family care at her first job through a nonprofit role coordinating resources and lactation support for at-risk families.
Her passion and commitment to the field truly came alive after giving birth to her first child in 2014, becoming a childbirth educator and doula soon after. She has since supported families across a wide range of circumstances—from first-time parents, queer and single parents by choice to those navigating NICU stays, multiples, as well as a range of feeding or sleep concerns. Jessica works with families to establish simple sustainable care practices, finding the rhythm that suits their family best, so they can feel supported long after her time with them is complete! Her approach is grounded in helping parents feel more confident, rested, and seen through her empathetic presence - weaving practical solutions with culturally aware care.
