About me

My Story
Headshot 2023.jpg

Hello! My name is Jackie Smiley and I'm excited that you're interested in natural childbirth!  It is truly a wonderful gift to give your child.  I had my first intervention-free birth in 2011 with my daughter, Laila and my second in 2013 with my daughter, Hazel.  I had my third and fourth daughters, Eden and Jemma, at home under the care of midwives in 2016 and 2021. I have been breastfeeding since my first baby was born, so for more than 13 years straight. 

​

I am so excited to share this journey with you! I am incredibly passionate about natural childbirth and breastfeeding and believe that you will feel that excitement in my classes. 

​

I hope you will allow me the honor to work with you and help you during this incredible journey to parenthood.  

My Training

Childbirth Educator and Doula

I received my training through the Bradley Method of natural childbirth and have held classes for dozens upon dozens of couples since 2014.  I also have given birth naturally four times as well as breastfed my children. I have been a doula for over five years where I have been able to put my knowledge into action.
