Listen Later

Today we are here with Alexa Jaques. Alexa is a stay at home mom of 2, special needs mom, wife, a birth doula, sister and friend. Alexa and I met through work. I was pregnant at the time. Her energy and her vibe was just so pure and genuine...I was drawn to her. She quickly became a confidante and has always been so supportive of women, life and love. So I'm excited to have her here sharing her journey with us. 

Alexa Jaques is the doula behind Joy in Birth and Beyond (https://joyinbirthandbeyond.com/). Originally from St. Marys, Pennsylvania, she currently resides in Pittsburgh, PA with her husband, Ben, her sons, Leo & Lennon, and their dog, Marlo. Her hobbies include spending time hiking with her family, reading, cooking, enjoying live music, dancing, using essential oils, meditating, and practicing yoga. With degrees in Dance Arts and Psychology, she has a deep respect and understanding for the mind body connection, and carries this understanding into her work as a doula.

She has always been fascinated by the body’s ability to give birth to a precious human life, believing that relaxation is the key to having a successful birth. Whether it is through medicated, unmedicated, vaginal birth, or a cesarean birth. After giving birth to Leo in 2019, Alexa felt a calling to support others in childbirth and beyond.

In this episode, Alexa shares:

  • The importance of open communication
  • The value in asking for help and being present
  • Overcoming mom guilt
  • and Much More...
  • Resources...
