Your Best Birth - Jessica Koester

Meet Jessica Koester
Certified Birth Doula through DONA International
Certified Hypnobirthing Practitioner through HypnoBirthing
Certified Childbirth Educator through Lamaze International
Co-founder of Your Best Birth

Jessica has had a longtime passion with regards to pregnancy,
childbirth and breastfeeding. After hiring a doula for her
third child’s birth, she knew she had found her calling and was
granted birth doula certification through DONA International
(Doulas of North America) in 2002.

Always open to learning new ways of making the birth
experience more comfortable and positive, Jessica earned her
certification through HypnoBirthing in 2004. Most recently
she has completed her training and received certification
through Lamaze International-the widely recognized “gold
standard” of childbirth education.

Jessica has attended over 60 births including unmedicated,
medicated, inductions, cesarean and homebirth. She herself
has given birth five times having experienced both spontaneous
and induced labor, as well as medicated and unmedicated birth
including three hospital and two homebirths. Her experiences
have lent her a compassionate and understanding nature.

She is very committed to her work and has proven to be
reliable, professional, intelligent and good humored, with a
knack for putting people at ease. She strives to help her
clients experience empowering and positive births where they
feel informed, supported, respected and in control.
