I’m Jeni - a certified postpartum doula, fitness and wellness coach, mama to Lyon and Lola, wife to Matt, lover of coffee, kitchen dance parties, sunny day runs, and intentional living. After finding love in a Colorado snowstorm in 2009, Matt and I planted roots in Texas and started building a life full of love, community and resilience.

Motherhood has taught me more than any course ever could - including how deeply beautiful and wildly hard it can be. When our daughter was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2022, our world shifted completely. Eighteen months of treatment challenged every part of our family - our expectations, our strength, our faith, our sense of “normal.” When she rang the bell cancer free in September 2024, we felt both relief and a profound reset. That experience taught me what it means to walk through the hardest seasons with intention, care and unwavering support.

It also reshaped my “why.”

I became a doula because I know how magical, overwhelming, and deeply transformative the transition into parenthood can be - and how the right support can turn uncertainty into confidence and overwhelm into connection. I’ve lived the deep gratitude and deep fatigue. I’ve sat in hospital rooms, held hands through uncertainty, and I’ve learned that even the hardest moments are softened when you don’t have to face them alone.

BirthStrong Collective exists to walk alongside families through these thresholds:

• to celebrate the joy,

• to soften the overwhelm

• to empower you with confidence, and

• to make you feel seen, supported, and strong in your new life as a parent.

Whether it’s through hands on postpartum care or just being a steady presence in the early days, my mission is simple: to help you move through these moments with intention, strength, and love.
