Wild Roots Birth Collective Welcome to Wild Roots Birth Collective! We're a team of Doula's that are passionate about supporting Mama's during pregnancy, birth & beyond.
(1)

Heart-led, fierce advocates, making sure doula support is accessible to every women in our rural communities. Hi, I'm Jacquelyne, I'm a Birth and Postpartum Doula+ Owner of Wild Roots Birth Collective, as well as a student Midwife. I am extremely passionate about the care and support women receive in their pregnancy, birth and postpartum phases. I am doing my part to change the way society looks at pregnancy/postpartum care. A lot of mental health issues could be resolved in postpartum, when a mother is properly supported, allowed to rest, heal and bond with their baby, without having to deal with the day to day duties, and stresses, the first few weeks after giving birth. Mother's need to be held and pampered during this time. As a Doula, I am here to give her all the care, help take care of baby, and do them mundane things, so she can get the rest and heal. As a student Midwife, again this is where my passion lies. I am looking forward to being able to offer holistic prenatal care, homebirths, postpartum care, newborn care and women's wellness.

We have had the pleasure of supporting this beautiful family for the birth of these precious babies and while mama is in her postpartum recovery phase. Getting to walk with a family through an unexpected, early delivery, to them having a NICU stay, then one baby coming home the first week after birth and finally on Valentine's Day, the other one got to come home. What a sweet gift! Their family is complete and all under one roof! We couldn't be more happy for them! ๐Ÿฅฐ
They are the sweetest snuggle babies ever! Aawww!๐Ÿ˜

Recently, a family reached out to Wild Roots Birth Collective for postpartum support with their new baby. What struck me wasnโ€™t just that they had worked with a doula beforeโ€ฆ

It was that they had paid premium pricing.. and still felt alone and unsupported. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

During our consult, mama shared that her previous postpartum experience was more traumatic than her birth. She struggled with breastfeeding, felt unsupported, and said, โ€œHonestlyโ€ฆ she wasnโ€™t very helpful. Not just with breastfeeding โ€” in general.โ€
That broke my heart.

Postpartum is tender. It is vulnerable. It is raw.

And support during that season should feel steady, skilled, and deeply nurturing....not disappointing.

When I shared what we actually provide at Wild Roots Birth Collective , the hands-on newborn guidance, feeding support, bodywork for tension and recovery, emotional check-ins, real education, nervous system support, practical help, and advocacy when needed ... she was amazed.
Not because it was extravagant. But because it was thorough.
Families deserve to know what theyโ€™re paying for.

If youโ€™re interviewing a doula, here are a few important questions to ask:
โœจ What specific postpartum training do you have?
โœจ Are you skilled in breastfeeding support? What does that actually look like in practice?
โœจ Do you provide hands-on guidance or just verbal reassurance?
โœจ What does a typical shift include?
โœจ How do you support maternal mental health?
โœจ What happens if Iโ€™m struggling at 2am?
โœจ Do you offer bodywork or physical recovery support?
โœจ How do you handle complex newborn challenges (reflux, colic, NICU babies, etc.)?
โœจ What makes your support different from simply having a friend help?

Support should feel intentional.
It should feel prepared.
It should feel rooted.

Postpartum care is not a luxury add-on. It can shape a motherโ€™s entire transition into motherhood. At Wild Roots, we take that seriously. ๐ŸŒฟ

You can schedule a consult, to discuss what postpartum support looks like with a Wild Roots Doula. Also, please scroll through our page to see us in action as we support our mama's in Day/Overnight postpartum shifts. We don't just "advertise", that we have postpartum doulas or that our team is "amazing" we are actually here putting in the work..EVERY SINGLE WEEK, with intention and integrity...and loving every minute, because we KNOW how LIFE CHANGING the support is for mama's! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

Earlier, I headed to prenatal visit with one of our mamas, once that I got in a nap after being up all night supporting our postpartum mama that has preemie twins. Tonight, I'll head back to another postpartum visit with a little guy, struggling with acid reflux, because his mama has not been getting much sleep at all, and sleep deprivation can lead to your postpartum depression and anxiety spiraling out. That's why we offer such individualized care. We keep eyes on mama and check in to make their mental well being is stabilized.

Today's prenatal ended up being so nice, and I got some much needed in person time to work with this mama, with stretches, side lying hip release, body prep is so important, having her husband be a part of the support was important to them and he was excited to learn! After teaching him some techniques, now he can help support her at home in early labor, as well as use some of the massage techniques, throughout the rest of her pregnancy! During the visit I was able to answer questions they had and we talked about birth options, we used our handy tool and found the perfect fl**ge size, customized to fit her ni**le size, and we discussed what our breastfeeding and lactation support will look like, with Tracy, ourIBCLC-CLC and Portia, our Breastfeeding Peer Counselor to help offer guidance! We truly have the best team! ๐Ÿ˜

They also get our Herbal Sitz Bath for after birth and NORA tea blend to support during pregnancy! Not only that, we offer a hands-on pre-labor massage, focused on pressure points, and essential oil therapy, but also postpartum regulation & relaxation sessions while they heal during postpartum. We believe in whole body support. Mind, body, and soul.

We've also been told that we "spoil" our sweet Mama's....and I'm okay with that! ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's just part of what we do at Wild Roots Birth Collective ๐Ÿงก๐ŸŒฟ ๐——๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ฎ ๐—ธ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜€๐—ฒ? ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—˜๐—ฉ๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ฌ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฎ ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜! ๐Ÿ™Œ

If there is ONE thing that I can share with you today, it is this....

DO NOT EVER disregard yourself or those dreams that have been rooted in your heart. I was in my 50's when I FINALLY stepped fully into my calling. The last 2.5 years has been life changing, because I am walking in my purpose, fulfilling the calling to serve women in this manner. This has been deeply rooted since I was 18 years old. A lot of life had to happen, i had 6 children of my own, homeschooled, homebirthed 4 of them, i have supported mamas in birth and postpartum along the way, but not to this capacity. I have years of lived experiences, and those experiences brought me to where I am today. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Wild Roots Birth Collective would not exist and be what all it has become, had I not just decided to push past my fears and insecurities and do the thing!

Next week, February 25th Wild Roots Birth Collective will celebrate their 1 year in business, and we have made some BIG strides and have made some incredible collaborations with other local businesses and hospital, and this is just the beginning!! We are so incredibly thankful and proud of this past year! ๐Ÿงก๐ŸŒฟ

So if you've had a desire to do something, then go for it! You are never to old to step into your power and passion. You were given those dreams and desires for a reason. Someone in this world needs you to step up and do whatever is it you are called to do. Who cares what others think. Care enough about your dreams, and take that first step! It can be scary... but its also the most exhilarating and rewarding experience!! I believe in you and will be over here cheering you on! ๐Ÿฅฐ

๐ŸŒฟ Something beautiful is unfolding at Wild Roots Birth Collectiveโ€ฆ๐Ÿงก

Weโ€™ve been walking into hospitals, living rooms, day and night supporting mama's through the surges of labor and/or the challenges of birth...to holding space for mothers who are exhausted, and navigating their new reality of postpartum. Listening as they share their struggles, offering words of encouragement, while folding laundry or massaging tension out of shoulders from carrying/feeding their new baby for hours, and are sleep deprived. We are there to support you in the trenches, and to wipe your tears, and sit with you for those late night conversations. We know first hand how vital it is for EVERY mama to have this kind of support. It comes from our deep rooted calling to support women that spans decades and even generations.

Weโ€™ve supported mamas in pregnancy, labor birth and postpartum, soothing colicky babies, babies with acid reflux issues, babies that have experienced birth trauma, preemies, twins, we've supported mama's through breastfeeding struggles, through their breaking points, and the breakthroughs.

In the past week, 4 of our sweet postpartum mamas have experienced something even deeperโ€ฆ Through our nurturing postpartum bodywork and regulation sessions, they were able to truly relax ....some for the first time since having their babies. One mama shared that she slept better than she had in weeks and woke up feeling lighter, more like herself again.
Because postpartum isnโ€™t just about surviving.
Itโ€™s about restoring.

And nowโ€ฆ
We are creating a space where that same intentional, deeply rooted support can happen beyond the home.
Our Wild Roots meeting space is that place for mothers.
A place where:
โœจ Nervous systems can reset.
โœจ Pregnant & Postpartum mama's can gather.
โœจ Education feels empowering, not overwhelming.
โœจ Breastfeeding support happens without judgment.
โœจ Women can be seen, heard, and held ๐Ÿซถ in community.

This isnโ€™t just an office.
Itโ€™s an extension of what weโ€™ve always done...only now, we get to open the doors even wider! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Whether you need birth support, and someone to advocate for you, overnight postpartum support, hands-on regulation and bodywork, a breastfeeding support session or simply a place to land in this seasonโ€ฆ Wild Roots Birth Collective is here.
And weโ€™re just getting started. ๐ŸŒฟ

We love supporting our postpartum mama's! From us loving and snuggling their babies all night, so the parents can catch up on sleep, dpong ligjt housework & laundry, to late night or early morning integrative postpartum bodywork sessions, while we chat about how they are doing, we are show up with intention to helpbour mama's heal, being very mindful of their emotional and mental well being. That is the Wild Roots Birth Collective way. ๐Ÿงก๐ŸŒฟ

This afternoon, Sarah and the kids met me at Wild Roots Birth Collective new office space, to begin making the space ours!

My heart from the beginning, is that our new office space will be a safe place for mothers to come, to be nurtured, held, supported, a safe place to talk about the struggles, to shed tears, to meet new friends, a place for education, laughter and love. It's about building that in person connections and community! ๐Ÿงก๐ŸŒฟ

So the very first thing we did, was to BLESS this space. We want everything we do to be intentional, so I asked each of our team, to give us a word of affirmation, a prayer, a blessing, and we painted each one on the walls, because those words will live inside these 4 walls. You know the saying... If walls could talk...
This is the embodiment of what we are called to do, and we can not wait for it to be ready to welcome you all! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Several months back Portia and I were at a prenatal with one of our mama's, we sat on their living room floor and as we visited and taught this soon to be first-time mom, our conversation circled around us having a place for women to come, a seed was planted that day, and this is only the start of what our hearts desire, but it's a beautiful beginning! ๐Ÿงก

Thank you all for support and love you show us daily! We are so grateful for each of you! Please continue to share our post and show us the love! It spreads the word about us and hopefully a mama looking for support will find us and realize she does not have to do this alone. ๐Ÿค—

Finished up the last overnight for the week, this morning.๐Ÿฅฐ This tiny little one is waiting for her brother to come home from the NICU. We are sending all the good vibes their way, that it will be some time this weekend!

Next on the agenda for today... visiting a postpartum mama and spending some time grounding her with our relaxation based, nurturing massage, this is such a wonderful way to let go of the tension your body is holding from constantly holding, and looking down while breastfeeding your sweet baby!

I have a few consults later today, and then it's time to enjoy the weekend! ๐Ÿ˜

๐ŸŒฟif you're pregnant and looking for birth and postpartum support, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to reach out and chat with us and ask questions! Not all DOULA Services are the same!
Our services are holistic, deeply rooted, heart-led and mama-focused! And the integrative care we offer, is not limited to those who can "afford it"... this is OUR standard of care! ๐Ÿงก

Another overnight postpartum shift completeโ€ฆ another lovely family supported with intentional, deeply rooted care. ๐ŸŒฟ

This mama woke up rested and came out smiling. We chatted while she pumped about her healing, the adjustment to life with two little ones, and how sheโ€™s doing emotionally and mentally. We talk about the hard things. We ask the hard questions. Because we donโ€™t ever want our mamas slipping through the cracks.

Then we laughed about how if baby keeps bulking up, she may need to start lifting weights just to carry him. ๐Ÿ˜‚ He is thriving, and mama is truly on track in her healing this time around. A completely different experience than before, and we are so grateful.

Before I left, I worked on loosening her neck, shoulders, and jaw using my own essential oil blend designed to support headaches and sore muscles. I love incorporating nurturing bodywork into our visits. Breastfeeding and pumping can be taxing on the body...these sessions bring relaxation, grounding, and regulation.

This is integrative postpartum care done right. โ™ก

Postpartum Support is truly life changing for families! ๐Ÿงก

This week, I am doing overnights with 3 of our postpartum families! I was there with each of these mama's supporting them in pregnancy, labor/birth, and it is such an honor to be there to support and care for them during their pospartum as well.

Having built that relationship with them in pregnancy, these mama's can rest easy, knowing they will be carefully cared for, honored and listened to and held. We've seen them at their most vulnerable place in labor and birth and are here to support them in the trenches of postpartum when they are struggling with exhaustion, hormone swings, the struggles that come with breastfeeding and learning how to meet the needs of this new little person in your life, and that coupled with their own healing journey. It can be overwhelming and stressful. That's where having that postpartum support can be life changing. WE SEE YOU STRUGGLING and are THERE TO HELP! You do not have to go through postpartum alone! ๐Ÿงก

Last night, after i arrived at my shift, I chatted with my sweet family about the struggles they have been facing, things they were dealing with, with the baby and they desperately needed sleep. While they slept and baby was sleeping, i did laundry for them, then baby woke up so I fed and changed and got baby back to sleep, then did more laundry and got that finished, spent more time snuggling and rocking baby, A LOT last night. This little one did not want to sleep, but baby is dealing with an eczema flare up, which is causing so much discomfort. ๐Ÿ˜ญ I was able to soothe and get him back to sleep, and then sanitized the bottles, before it was time to get him up, changed and ready for the day. The smiles I got, once this little one was awake this morning were absolutely the BEST! His parents were rested and reset, ready to take on a few more days! ๐Ÿฅฐ

This is what postpartum support looks like. It's not glamorous, but to me, it fills my heart with so much joy, because I KNOW these mama's are being taken care of. Their healing is priority, as well as their rest, their mental and emotional health are in check, because we have those real, honest conversations, we make sure they are eating healthy nutritious foods and are staying hydrated, taking their vitamins and supplements and doing all the things to help support their bodies. It is a TEAM effort... together YOU CAN DO THIS and thrive!

I'm off to go see another postpartum mama and her sweet baby, and give a postpartum massage! Then tonight, ill be at my next postpartum family and I can not wait to spend time supporting them! ๐Ÿฅฐ Have a lovely day, friends!
