Embracing Birth

There is nothing that makes my doula heart explode with happiness more than when I get to work with a family more than once💗 It's always an honor and privilege to be a part of something amazing (prental visits! labor! birth! postpartum visits!). This work fills my soul. Baby C (not so much a baby anymore!) and new brother Baby B. Photos shared with permission from the family.

Proud to be a member of TVD!

Meet Jennifer Wulf RN, BSN, CD(DONA), owner of Embracing Birth Doula Services:

I have been a registered nurse since 2004 and a birth doula since November 2010 and started my doula service, Embracing Birth Doula Services, at the same time. I received my DONA certification in July 2011. I currently work has as a home health supervisory RN which is a flexible position so I may shuffle my schedule to attend a birth. I am extremely devoted to honoring your birth with kindness, patience, communication, current resources, and a doula’s heart. My passion is to help moms and their partners feel empowered during the labor/birth/and postpartum journey. Being a doula is a pure source of joy in my life! Please contact me for a complimentary consultation- I look forward to meeting you.
