Where Ladera Ranch families give birth
Ladera Ranch families usually deliver a short drive away at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo or the Women's Hospital at Saddleback in Laguna Hills. Jenn also supports planned home births.
Providence Mission Hospital
A short drive away in Mission Viejo, the Mission Maternity Center welcomes around 3,000 babies a year and offers warm laboring tubs and hydrotherapy for unmedicated births, with CHOC's Level 3 NICU on-site. Jenn is experienced and at ease supporting births here.
Women's Hospital at Saddleback
A short drive away in Laguna Hills, MemorialCare's Women's Hospital in Laguna Hills has cared for families for more than 35 years and is on California's Maternity Honor Roll for keeping C-sections low in first-time births. Jenn knows the unit and the rhythm of birth there well.
Home and birth center
Right here in Ladera Ranch, if you are planning a home birth or birth-center birth with a licensed midwife, Jenn supports you there too, bringing the same calm, hands-on presence alongside your clinical team.
A doula who is close when it counts
From 37 to 42 weeks Jenn is on call for you. Ladera Ranch is a short drive up from San Clemente, so when early labor begins she can reach you soon, whether you are heading to the hospital or staying home.

Trusted by Orange County families
"I loved having Jenn as my doula. Jenn is the counter pressure queen. After experiencing my first birth without a doula and then having her there for my second, it made a world of a difference. She was so encouraging, kept me in the right headspace, and so knowledgeable about positions to advance labor. I can't imagine giving birth without her now."
