Doula with Aubree Jarrett

The page that began my journey into the mother and Doula that I am today.
So much gratitude for this page and what it does for women in our community!

To be featured on, it is an honor!

Thank you!

We will be celebrating World Doula Week by highlighting some doulas who serve the Northshore area!

“Hi! My name is Aubree Jarrett. I am a holistic practicing mama to three of the coolest boys and a wife to a man that I sometimes think would be an even better doula than myself.​

I've mastered the art of serving women between my bachelors of psychology, 6 years of doula work, motherhood, being a part of the women's health community in my area, and marriage. I am skilled in knowing a woman's needs in all parts of birth and becoming a mother. ​

I am a women's health enthusiast and a lover of changing the way we are conditioned to think about birth. I help women see the reality of birth and the reality is... It's BEAUTIFUL!

My primary focus at the moment is my birth classes and postpartum care.

In my six years of experience, I have learned that Mom responds to the person in the room who knows them most intimately. Specifically, when that person is prepared thoroughly.

My classes have a high success and satisfaction rate of meeting mommy‘s goals while also growing their relationships with their loved one.

If you’re looking to make your significant other, mother, sister, cousin, etc. the best doula you have ever had… I’m your girl!

Postpartum care is a time where mom should feel truly cared for in all areas. No mother should be feeling isolated postpartum wondering where their next meal is coming from, who can take the baby so they can shower, or how clean the house is. My postpartum care program makes sure you feel supported in this time of adjustment and healing.

I am passionate about caring for women and creating the village that we have lost. Doula with Aubree with support you in slowing down to soak in all those newborn cuddles!!

Can’t wait to meet all the new mamas!”

Breastfeeding isn’t just for the first year—it’s a dose-dependent biological process that continues to provide critical health benefits for as long as it’s sustained. The idea that breast milk somehow “loses” its value after infancy is simply false. In fact, the immunological, neurological, and emotional benefits increase the longer a child breastfeeds.

Breast milk doesn’t just supplement nutrition in toddlerhood—it actively adapts to meet a growing child’s needs. The antibodies, probiotics, stem cells, and growth factors in breast milk continue to protect against infections, boost gut health, and support brain development well beyond the first year. Studies show that children who breastfeed longer have lower rates of respiratory and ear infections, better emotional regulation, and even a reduced risk of chronic diseases later in life.

For mothers, the benefits of extended breastfeeding are just as powerful. The longer a mother breastfeeds, the greater the protection against breast and ovarian cancer, heart disease, metabolic disorders, and osteoporosis. The hormonal balance created by continued nursing can also help regulate stress and lower the risk of postpartum mood disorders.

Breastfeeding is more than just food—it’s a lifelong investment in health, connection, and well-being. A lucky child, indeed. 🤍

Expecting anyone?

I was asked a great question today by a partner in a follow up text after the consult : “Is there any situation she can think of that would require an emergency cesarean… or if that’s a made up excuse for a doctor to get off easy”

My answer: Absolutely!

Here are a few times a cesarean could occur that are definitely considered emergency:

⁃Cord prolapse (0.2% incidence rate): we spoke about this briefly at the consultation but if the cord came through the cervix first therefore compressed by the baby’s head this may be an emergency cesarean. In this event, you would get into an open knee chest inverted position. I would place my hand on the baby’s head to alleviate pressure off the cord and we would travel like that all the way to the OR.

⁃Placental Abruption: This is where the placenta starts to come off of the uterus prior to birth. There are varying degrees of emergency, but this is an instance where a cesarean would be considered reasonable and if severe absolutely recommended.

⁃Uterine Rupture: This mainly occurs in TOLACs (trial of labor after cesarean) p where the uterus tears. In this event, a cesarean is recommended

⁃ Fetal Hypoxia/distress/non-reassuring heart tones: This is the most common reason for an emergent cesarean. We listen to the baby the only way we can, the heart rate, and when we begin to hear them telling us they aren’t doing well (late deceleration, lack of variability) This is a sign the baby is possibly in distress and needs to be born. In this instance, cesarean is recommended.

For all of these have what I call pink flags, red flags, and white flags. Meaning, most of the time, I can see it coming and sometimes we prevent at home, while other times we travel by private vehicle BEFORE they become emergent, and others we are calling an ambulance and going FAST.

We are not waiting until the emergency is present in Midwifery. We are the safe protector of normal birth. knowing normal so well… it’s easy to spot a complication early.

Some of these complications arise from interventions themselves. Midwifery led care see less of the above for two reasons: We care for the low risk and we are not intervening!

Recommendations for cesarean when not an emergency definitely exist. The WHO recommends countries not exceed 10% - 15% cesarean rate while the US stands at over 30% and Louisiana is over 37% last reported on 2021. In some areas… over 60%!

Generality Statement number 1 million: Most of this increase is one of 2 reasons: An act to avoid the emergency moment no one loves OR is a combination of provider preference, money, lack of skill, or hospital policy barring them from attempting a vaginal birth under said circumstances. (Example breech: We have much evidence that vaginal breech birth is a safe option but many providers were never trained and therefore will not offer it, only recommending a cesarean)

I have experienced all of the above listed complications and some end with a with cesarean, some end with a smooth birth at home, and some end with a collaboration for a hospital vaginal birth.


Whew! I know it’s always a lot. Take your time and let me know what resources you need and how I can go deeper.

Shoutout post! Huge home birth wins all around 😍🥹

Firstly I want to shoutout the mama who birthed this ELEVEN pound sweetheart at home, in the water, breathing baby out and zero tearing!! Physiological birth works people! Willow Holland you are a warrior woman. 🙌🏼

Secondly I want to shoutout this lovely midwife I have had the pleasure of assisting and serving families with ♥️ Jill Vick is new to the area and it’s been great getting to know her and having another home birth provider to refer families to.

Y’all, I am absolutely biased, but home birth is the BEST!!! It is by far the safest place for low risk, healthy mothers and babies to receive care.

Calling all birth professionals in southeast, Louisiana!!!! We have a very wonderful opportunity of attending Reteach breech course with Dr Stu Fischbein, Birth Instincts.

Many women in our area CONSTANTLY come to me asking if there is anyone here who will deliver their breech babies vaginally. It would mean the world to them to have local options that could fulfill their birth choice safely.

Dr. Stu has 30 years of experience as an OBGYN providing breech and twin mamas options they dream of!

He has spoken internationally and is the author of peer reviewed papers supporting his expertise.

Think of what this could do for our community and if you’re as passionate about women as I am… Then I will see you in my direct message to learn more about how to sign up!!!

You can expect to see me in all the local hospitals, doctor’s offices, birth centers, etc. recruiting you guys for this class. BUT please share this post to anyone I may be missing. Let’s work together to give women choices!

We need a minimum of 15 professionals to experience the joy of this course!!!!
