As a trainer, mentor and business leader, Jesse has helped raise the collective standard of professionalism across the doula community. Her experience has allowed her to act as a liaison with the maternity care system and to help build the first on-staff doula program in the state. She has been foundational in the development and implementation of the new Oregon Doula Association and will continue to be a powerful advocate for doulas as we move toward new avenues of professional integration.”
