Where San Clemente families give birth

Most San Clemente families deliver a short drive up the 5 at Saddleback in Laguna Hills or Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, and Jenn also supports planned home births right here in town.

Providence Mission Hospital

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

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

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.

In her words

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."
Malia Williams · Orange County family
An honest boundary: A doula provides emotional, physical, educational, and practical support, and does not provide medical care, perform clinical tasks, or replace your doctor, midwife, nurse, or partner. Jenn works alongside your medical team.
