My Misssion
To help parents achieve their dream birth experience!
My goal is to support mom and her partner through the amazing experience of bringing new life into the world. I carefully guide mom and her family, offering tips to mom’s partner to help her through pregnancy and birth. I also provide comfort measures for labor and delivery. Prior to labor, I will also assist the family in making a birth plan to share with hospital staff.
More about Me
Hello! I am Jodie Slininger!
I have had a passion for doula work for many years. I love to see families achieve their birthing experience. I love to support the mom and her partner in whatever way possible to ensure their needs in this unique time are met. I carefully guide those supporting mom, offering suggestions, tips, comfort measures, and advice where requested. I am here for mom and her partner offering physical, emotional, and educational support along their incredible journey as they bring new life into the world.
Why I Became a Birth Doula.
From a very young age, I had a strong interest in childbirth. I have also loved caring for others and helping them in any way I can. Once diagnosed with PCOS and finding out I most likely would never have children of my own, my goal quickly shifted to help those who could achieve their dream of raising a family Sense I could not achieve this dream for myself, I longed to help those who could, no matter their individual preferences. From a medicated birth with an epidural or other pain medications to a natural birth and/or water birth, I am happy to support you and your desires. It doesn’t matter if you delivery in your home, at a hospital, or at a birth center, I am happy to serve no matter your specific preferences.
