About Me

Hi! I'm Jennifer Boudreau — a certified birth doula, trained postpartum doula, community advocate, and lifelong learner.

​

Before stepping fully into birthwork, I built a strong foundation in communications, public relations, and community service. Today, I combine that experience with my passion for supporting families as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum months.

​

I am a Status First Nations woman, my dad is from Kahnawà:ke Mohawk Territory, and I bring a heart-centred, culturally sensitive approach to the work I do.

​

Based in Fredericton, New Brunswick, I am passionate about nurturing strength, honouring birth stories, and walking alongside families as they grow.​

​

Prenatal Visits

Informative and Compassionate

Our journey begins with a warm meet-and-greet, where we discuss your hopes, concerns, and preferences. Throughout your pregnancy, I offer continuous emotional, informational, and physical support. Whether it's answering questions, providing resources, or simply being a listening ear, I'm here to ensure you feel confident and cared for every step of the way.

Birthing Guidance

Here for You

From our initial meeting through your pregnancy and delivery, I take the time to get to know you, your concerns, and your needs. I’m available to connect by phone, email, or text. I will do my best to ensure your experience is as you wish.

Postpartum Support

Here for You

The fourth trimester is a time of adjustment and growth. As your postpartum doula, I provide nonjudgmental support tailored to your family's needs. This includes regular check-ins, assistance with newborn care, guidance on feeding, and emotional support as you navigate this new chapter. My goal is to help you feel empowered and supported as you embrace parenthood.

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever
to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

-Elizabeth Stone

“In giving birth to our babies, we may find that we give birth
to new possibilities within ourselves.”

- Myla and Jon Kabat-Zinn

​

There’s no pressure — just share what feels right. I look forward to connecting with you!
