Jennifer Hernandez-Ortiz

Jennifer Hernandez brings a rare blend of curiosity, preparation, and genuine care to her work as a birth doula. Equal parts thoughtful researcher and nurturing presence, Jenny approaches birth support with both heart and precision—making sure families feel not only cared for, but truly prepared.

With a background as a forensic scientist and a long-standing love of all things birth,

Jenny is deeply invested in understanding the why behind every option, recommendation, and comfort measure. Her journey into doula work began when a close family member became pregnant—prompting Jenny to immerse herself in doula training, gather resources, and ensure her loved one was supported in every possible way. That instinct to prepare, protect, and show up fully has become the foundation of her work with families.

Jenny is known for her ability to combine clarity with calm. She helps families feel grounded by explaining choices in accessible ways, anticipating needs before they arise, and offering practical tools alongside steady emotional support. Her presence is reassuring without being overpowering—thoughtful, attentive, and deeply invested in each person she supports.

Often described as resourceful, intuitive, and a little bit magical, Jenny brings a fairy-godmother level of care to birth work: anticipating what’s needed, holding space with warmth, and making sure families feel covered, capable, and confident as they move through birth.

Above all, Jenny believes birth support is about presence—being there fully, with curiosity, compassion, and care. Families who work with her often feel not just supported, but genuinely understood and prepared for the experience ahead.
