empowering you through pregnancy and birth
Hello and congratulations on your pregnancy! As a birth doula located in West Point, New York, I’m here to offer you the support, guidance, and the care you need as you navigate your journey to parenthood.
Hi, I’m Jenna Swanson!
I am also a Doctor of Physical Therapy and specialize in pelvic floor therapy. I understand how the pelvic floor functions during labor and delivery, and I can offer strategies to help reduce excessive strain during childbirth.
What sets me apart from other local doulas…
Doulas support women during labor to ensure a safe and fulfilling birth experience. As your doula, my role is to help you make informed decisions about you and your baby’s care. I won’t make decisions for you or interfere with your healthcare providers, but I will offer comfort, reassurance, and perspective. I can suggest ways to encourage labor progress and assist with relaxation techniques, positioning, and other comfort measures. My focus is entirely on you, not your caregivers or the hospital. I’m here to safeguard your birth space and help you achieve a birth experience you can be proud of.

Up to 2 prenatal visits which include discussing prenatal history, creating a birth plan, discussion on comfort measures and preparing for your birth experience
