Jenna first became interested in birth and reproductive health during her training as an herbalist. This interest led her to become a full spectrum doula, which furthered her passion, leading her to midwifery.

After attending her first birth in 2013, she apprenticed with homebirth midwives in western North Carolina, becoming an RN along the way, and working at a freestanding birth center in Asheville, NC. She finished her studies at Holly No. 7 and obtained her CPM in 2024. She is excited to be part of the stellar team at the Holly No. 7 birth center!

She lives with her partner and two dogs on their homestead at the headwaters of the Sheepscot river, tending a large garden and orchard.

“Being a midwife is such a huge honor and privilege. It never ceases to amaze me how miraculous and unique every single birth is! I am grateful to serve our communities and hope to continue doing so for a long time.”
