Jes Graham
Full-Spectrum Doula
I am so excited to be a part of your care team! With many years' experience in healthcare settings, I'm happy to be working with families more directly, helping new parents navigate the highs and lows of the perinatal period. Working as a doula has brought me closer to the families I support, and lets me offer more direct and more personal support to each family I work with.
​
As a full-spectrum doula, I have specialized expertise in supporting clients through a variety of complex situations -- not only through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, but also through loss, bereavement, and trauma. While we always hope for the most positive outcomes for all families, I also hold space for and honor the more complicated journeys. No situation is too complex to be deserving of compassionate support.
While I am honored to serve all families, and have supported many clients with unique and varied needs, I have a special passion for supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and families and any other clients at increased risk of marginalization within the healthcare system. I look forward to supporting your unique journey too!
