About Jessie Benson
Birth Doula + Yoga Instructor
Whether you plan to give birth in a hospital, birth center, or at home, Jessie will be by your side to create a calm and peaceful environment to have the most magical birth experience. Having the experience of pregnancy loss, Jessie understands that the path to parenthood is not always linear, and does not always go as we hoped. She wants her clients to know that she'll be by their side, no matter what.
Jessie believes in the power of mindset, and uses a variety of mantras and guided-visualizations to help her clients remain calm, connected and peaceful during the entire birth journey. Her goal is that every birthing-person feels grounded, nourished, empowered, and ready to take on the birth that is theirs.
Born and raised in Baltimore, MD, Jessie has been teaching yoga and fitness classes since her freshman year at Rollins College, in Florida. She owns two businesses in international retreats and standup paddle-boarding. Since having her two daughters, both born at home - (Gracie in '21 and Lainey in '23) Jessie has been enjoying slowing down and raising her babies, just a few miles away from where she grew up. She loves witnessing the magic of the simple things in life, through their eyes.
When not spending time with family or supporting births, you can find Jessie teaching yoga or spin classes at The Womb Room and around Baltimore!
