Jen B. is a birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and pediatric sleep consultant with more than a decade of experience and close to 200 births attended. She spent her early career in federal intelligence and left in 2017 to do birth work full time. That background still shows up in how she works: calm under pressure, thorough in preparation, and steady when the night gets long.

Her practice is trauma informed, and she treats this stretch of life as a rite of passage rather than a set of tasks to get through. Before a baby arrives, she works with parents to uncover what they actually want out of this time, what they need in order to feel safe, and the old patterns that tend to get in the way when things get hard. The result is that families walk into parenthood more prepared and more resilient, with decisions that feel like their own.

Recovery is where Jen spends much of her attention. She trained directly under Sunny Huang in Chinese sitting-the-month and draws on traditional postpartum care practices that treat the weeks after birth as their own healing period, not a return to normal life. That means real support for the body: rest, warmth, nourishment, and enough hands on deck that a parent can actually heal instead of pushing through. She looks after the recovering parent as closely as she looks after the baby.

Her support spans the whole first year, from labor and delivery through the early weeks at home and into sleep that finally settles. After a decade of practice in Southern California, Jen now works with families across Brooklyn and the NYC boroughs. She is a mother of two.

Testimonials

“We met Jen through a doula service, and after interviewing several doulas, we ultimately chose her. She supported us twice — through birth and postpartum in April 2022, and again in December 2023. We loved her calm, supportive energy. She was with us even before we hit any real challenges, helping us create a birth plan, and we were lucky enough for it to go exactly as planned. During postpartum, she took wonderful care of me with nutrition guidance, baths, steams, and helped me through mastitis when my second baby wasn’t nursing as much. I would highly recommend her, and my husband would agree.”

“I started looking for a postpartum doula for my second baby back in the summer, interviewing several before I met Jen. She was so approachable, warm, and professional that I booked her right away. For about eight to ten weeks before my baby was born on Christmas Day, we did prep visits just to get to know each other and go over our nursery setup, and then she supported us a few nights a week after the birth. She was always on time, never late, and came prepared — she’d check in with us about how the day went so she could plan for the night ahead. She was so gentle and caring with the baby, handling all the nighttime routines: feeding, diapering, burping, getting her back down in her bassinet, cleaning bottles, even helping with laundry. But what I appreciated most was how much she cared for me — she understood what I was going through postpartum and supported me mentally, while always respecting our parenting style and boundaries without ever pushing her own approach. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a postpartum doula.”
