I’m Jenna Swanson! I’m a doula, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a mother, and a military spouse.

Originally from South Dakota, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Sports Management, followed by my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of South Dakota.

My passion for the birth experience ignited during my pregnancy with my son. I found myself constantly seeking answers to my endless questions. As a healthcare professional, I believed I could thoroughly prepare myself for my birth. However, when labor began and I arrived at the hospital, all my planning fell apart. I had a vision for my birth, but I lacked an advocate by my side. My husband recognized my discomfort but didn’t know how to support me.

After my son’s birth, I was determined to help other mothers advocate for themselves and achieve their desired birth experience. I became a trained doula, combining my expertise as a pelvic floor physical therapist to empower and protect mothers' bodies.
