Meet the Doula

Jasenka was trained by DONA in 2014 and began practicing as a doula during the same month. She became certified by the organization in 2017. Having two children of her own, she has birthed in both the hospital and home setting and encourages moms to choose a place where their gut tells them they will feel safest. Having breastfed for a total of 3.5 years, Jasenka is passionate about providing information in regards to the benefits of breastmilk. She is currently pursuing her lactation counselor certification.
