Hello, my name is Jessica!

I am a married 34 year-old mother of two amazing miracle babies, Liam (7) and Londyn (5). I am from the Lakewood area and attended Lakewood High School. I then went to nursing school and graduated from Cuyahoga Community College with my Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN) and Ohio University with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). I work PRN as a Hospice nurse and a Detox nurse. I’m obsessed with Disney, so yes I am one of those crazy disney moms! I enjoy adventuring with my children, being outdoors, baking/cooking, and enjoying family and friends. I have a passion for helping everyone. I love animals, watching sports, concerts and vacationing.

My son has congenital heart disease and asthma and we have been through a lot with his condition. He had open-heart surgery in November of 2020 and is doing amazing since. The past two years I have decided to follow my heart and do what I’m passionate about— helping people who need it most. This is how I began working as a hospice and detox nurse, all while researching and learning about the doula world. My pregnancies were very tough on me and I wish I knew about doulas when I was pregnant.

As a doula at Fourth Down, my main purpose is to advocate for you and your partner, giving you the individualized support you need through your pregnancy and birth. It is such a beautiful process and every woman deserves to feel secure, supported and empowered. I can’t wait to be a part of your birth team! It would be an honor to guide you through this journey with the knowledge I have gained from my personal experience and professional training.
