Hello & Welcome

I am so glad you are here and feeling curious about how to personalize your journey through the childbearing years.

I’m Jessica Brown—a birthworker, midwife apprentice, and passionate believer that birth is not just a medical event, but a deeply transformative experience. I have spent the past decade establishing roots in Southwestern Pennsylvania, drawn in by the mountains, creeks, and the close-knit sense of community that makes this corner of Appalachia feel like home.

Since 2017, I have walked alongside families through life’s most profound transitions—from witnessing individuals step into parenthood to guiding families through the raw, powerful process of birth. I have attended births in homes, hospitals, and our local birth center, and through those years of experience, I have come to understand where I am most needed and where I can best serve.

My Focus

My focus is on homebirth midwifery, monitrice care, and supporting families who are seeking alternatives to the standard hospital birth model.

If you are planning a homebirth—or if you are navigating a high-risk pregnancy but still want personalized, hands-on support—I am here for you.

I provide:
~ Homebirth midwifery care (as a Primary Student Midwife under Supervision of Igi Osè Midwifery )
~ Monitrice services for those birthing in a hospital or birth center who want clinical support during labor at home before heading in
~ Specialized doula support for families with high-risk pregnancies under MFM (Maternal Fetal Medicine) care


My Approach 

~ Compassion & Respect: I trust you, and I want you to trust yourself. My role is to walk beside you, not dictate your choices.

~ Holistic, Evidence-Based Support: I blend traditional midwifery knowledge with modern research, offering care that honors both intuition and science.

~ A Space of Safety & Calm: Birth is a sacred threshold. I want you to feel held, seen, and deeply supported—wherever and however you bring your baby into the world.

Birth and parenthood are overflowing with love, and being invited into these sacred spaces is a privilege I don’t take lightly. I am endlessly grateful to the families who have trusted me to walk alongside them, learning as much as I’ve supported.

If this kind of care resonates with you, I’d love to connect. Let’s explore your vision for birth and how I can support you in the way that feels best for your family.

Whether you’re looking for homebirth midwifery care, monitrice support, or simply want to learn more about your options during the childbearing years, I invite you to explore these resources.


What I offer

Homebirth Midwifery with Igi Osè

Personalized, holistic, and deeply supported care—right in the comfort of your home.

I provide homebirth midwifery care as a Primary Student Midwife Under Supervision through Igi Osè Midwifery. This means all homebirth clients establish care through Igi Osè, and my role is to serve as the primary midwife under the direct supervision of my mentor.

If you’re interested in working with me, we’ll schedule a joint consultation with my supervising midwife to ensure it’s the right fit. To learn more about Igi Osè’s midwifery model and care structure, visit: Igi Osè Midwifery.

Monitrice Services

Bridging the gap between midwifery and doula support

A monitrice blends the hands-on comfort of a doula with the clinical skills of a student midwife. I provide labor monitoring at home, including checking vitals, assessing labor progress, and listening to your baby’s heartbeat—all while creating a calm, reassuring space before you transition to your birth location.

If you are planning a hospital or birth center birth, monitrice care allows you to labor at home longer with extra peace of mind before heading in. My role is to help you feel confident, informed, and fully supported at every step of the journey.


Specialized Doula Support

Specialized support for high-risk pregnancies under MFM care.

For families with high-risk pregnancies under Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) care, I provide personalized, intuitive, and evidence-based doula support that respects your autonomy, instincts, and vision for birth while working within the framework of your higher level of care needs in collaboration with your provider.

Even when birth plans shift, you deserve a calm, connected, and family-centered experience. Together, we will prioritize health, safety, and wellness while ensuring that you still feel empowered, supported, and heard every step of the way.
