Description

This episode is all heart! If you have been curious about these beautiful companions who walk with women, you want to tune into this heartfelt connection I have with Traditional Birth Companion Jess.

Jess Thomson is serving women throughout their pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey as a birth companion. Jess has been supporting families for over twenty years! Currently acquiring knowledge from The Traditional Birth Companion course by Billie Harrigan and Becoming Trauma informed by Birth Trauma Ontario. Her previous lives include working with older adults, as a child care professional, as an emergency first responder and as a labour and postpartum doula. She will continue to show up until God tells her not to. It’s her truest honour to witness sovereign women through their rite of passage. When Jess is not at a birth, you’ll find her enjoying a slow morning with espresso, on a hike, eating a steak or spending time with her Godson.
