Conversations with Jess Marinos

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jess Marinos.

Hi Jess, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
When I was pregnant with my son I knew I wanted to use a midwife and doula for my birth. My doula was such a grounding force during my labor and helped me so much. I was not so lucky with my postpartum journey and wanted to give families those support pieces that I needed so much, but didn’t know how to ask for.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Not at all! Working for yourself will always be a rocky road, but that is such a big part of why I love my story so much.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a postnatal doula specializing in mom/birthing person-focused support. I also am an herbalist and holistic nutritionist supporting baby and toddler nutrition.

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
Is it cliche to say, my son?! He is was drives me to be and do the best I can. For him, and for myself! He’s taught me so much about myself and life that I never thought possible.
