Hi, I'm Jess Bjorling

Founder of Jess For Moms | Postpartum Doula & Educator

I help new moms prepare for and thrive in the postpartum stage.

A little about me (and what led me here):

Two of my favorite titles are "mom" and "wife". I'm also a coach, photographer, connoisseur of happy pump-up songs, Kansas City Chiefs fan, horseback rider, and a lot more I'm still discovering. 

After I had my first child, I had a very difficult postpartum experience. I felt underprepared, overwhelmed, and didn't know what I needed (let alone how to communicate that). I assumed that my baby's needs always trumped my own - because that's what good moms do, right? (Hint: the answer is wrong!) I learned the hard way that meeting your own needs is NOT SELFISH - in fact, it will make you a much better mom. 

My goal: 

I created this business to help set YOU up for success in the postpartum stage (and beyond into motherhood) and show you that it is possible and crucial to take care of your baby AND yourself. 

It took me a while to realize that becoming a mom didn't replace my previous identity, it just added something truly beautiful to it. I'm here to help you as motherhood becomes a part of your new identity.
