Jill
Senior Labor and Birth Doula
Aloha:)
My name is JillAnna and thank you for taking the time to consider working together. I am a mother of 10 grown children in a beautiful blended family; and I adore the birth phase of life. I must; since I have been in this field for 30 plus years now:)
I was born in California mostly raised in Chicago; and schooled in St. Louis MO @ Washington University; Columbus OH @ Ohio State University; University of Hawaii; and I most recently completed training at Cornell University based in New York. I am CAPPA certified; and have acquired many degrees and certifications in the field of birth work during my tenure.
My Birthing interests and experience has opened doors to international consulting, government advocacy, boards, publications, and service projects all over the world; with the goal of empowering, equipping, advocating, and defending the rights of mothers, the unborn, newly born, and 0-5’s; often in crisis, trauma, poverty, or displacement. My favorite work though, is individual support with families.
Now I am here in pleasant Hawaii to help you and your family during your transition into parenthood; as safely, peacefully, and joyfully as possible.
Welcome to the wonderful; if sometimes wild world of birthing! Let us navigate the fears, overcome the challenges, and embrace the joys together:)
Jill was truly incredible throughout my entire journey — from pregnancy to labor and even into postpartum. She brought such a deep sense of peace, confidence, and calm during a time that can feel so overwhelming. Her steady presence, encouragement, and knowledge made me feel safe, supported, and empowered every step of the way. I genuinely cannot imagine my experience without her by my side.
If you’re looking for a doula who will advocate for you, nurture you, and bring such grounding energy into your birth space, Jill is the one.
And as a huge bonus for military families, she accepts Tricare, which makes her support even more accessible.
I’m forever grateful for her.
