There are moments in life that change everything, subtle shifts that ripple into every fiber of who we are. For many women, one of the most powerful, transformative periods is the journey through pregnancy and birth.
Let’s be honest it’s also one of the most vulnerable, unpredictable, and at times, overwhelming experiences. What if, right at the heart of that chaos, someone guides you with grace, knowledge, and unwavering support? What if that “someone” wasn’t just a doula, but the doula?
Meet Jas the Doula, the woman changing lives one breath, one affirmation, and one birth at a time.
When Birth Becomes a Healing, Empowering, Soul-Lifting Experience
Let’s pause for a second and ask a big question: What does it mean to feel supported emotionally, physically, and spiritually during pregnancy and birth?
That’s not a rhetorical question. For Jasmine Kittrell, MHDS, founder of Jas the Doula From the Start Holistic Services, that question is the heartbeat of everything she does.
As a Full Spectrum Doula, Jasmine provides more than just services. She creates an experience, a sacred container of care that walks alongside birthing people through pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and even bereavement.
She listens, grounds, and empowers. And in a world where many women feel dismissed, unheard, or rushed through one of the most monumental experiences of their lives. Jas’s presence is nothing short of revolutionary.
The Power of Presence: What Makes Jas Different?
Anyone who meets Jas feels it immediately: the calm, the warmth, the grounded wisdom of someone who doesn’t just know the process but lives it.
Her approach combines the ancient with the modern, centering breathwork, affirmations, and evidence-based knowledge in equal parts.
But it’s not just her presence. It’s what she offers.
Services that Center You, Not the System
With her range of doula packages, Jas meets clients where they are emotionally, physically, and financially. The offerings span from basic support to her Full Premier Package, which includes:
- A full body assessment to help align your physical well-being with your pregnancy journey.
- Three tailored tool sessions to promote optimal fetal alignment, ease discomfort, and support recovery.
- Two prenatal visits to co-create a birth and postpartum plan that reflects your deepest values.
- Up to 12 hours of labor support, where Jas is there through every contraction, affirmation, and breath.
- Two postpartum visits, helping you navigate the tender “fourth trimester” with support and grace.
This isn’t just about labor, it’s about transformation. It’s about creating a space where you are seen, heard, and empowered.
Affirmations That Rewire Your Mind and Soul
If you’ve ever experienced the power of words to uplift, anchor, to shift your energy, then you’ll understand why Jas’s Pregnancy and Birth Affirmation Cards are so beloved.
These aren’t your average “you got this” cards. Each set includes:
- 16 empowering affirmations specifically designed to foster courage, self-trust, and peace.
- Breathwork guidance to help regulate stress and ground your nervous system.
- Pregnancy and birth facts that demystify the process and help you feel informed rather than fearful.
Science backs this up: studies show that verbal repetition and visualization can reshape the brain, forming new neural pathways that reinforce positivity and resilience.
So, yes, these little cards can change your reality. And when you’re preparing to bring a life into the world, that mindset shift isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
Wellness Isn’t a Buzzword, It’s a Lifestyle
Jas’s services go beyond birth prep. They’re deeply rooted in holistic wellness, which means considering the full spectrum of your health, emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual.
Here are just a few of the lesser-known but powerful benefits of having a doula like Jas:
- Stress reduction: Breathwork, affirmations, and mindfulness are tools Jas uses to regulate your stress hormones, supporting both you and your baby.
- Hormonal balance: Lowering cortisol (the stress hormone) can aid in immune health, reduce inflammation, and even support milk production postpartum.
- Physical alignment: Jas is certified in the Body Ready Method, which supports pelvic floor function, balances the body during pregnancy, and prepares you for labor in the most intelligent way possible.
- Faster recovery: Postpartum body prep helps to alleviate neck and back tension, encourage diastasis recti healing, and rebuild core strength.
This is about thriving, not surviving, your pregnancy and postpartum journey.
The Facts Speak Loud and Clear
Still on the fence about whether a doula makes a real difference? Let’s drop some stats:
- Doula care reduces cesarean rates by 50%.
- Labors are 25% shorter with doula support.
- Requests for epidurals decrease by 60%.
- Postpartum depression and anxiety rates are significantly reduced.
- Breastfeeding initiation and satisfaction levels are substantially higher.
These numbers aren’t fluff. They’re evidence. And they point to one clear truth: when women are supported, they thrive.
A Story Rooted in Purpose
Jas didn’t just decide to become a doula on a whim. Her path is woven from threads of personal experience, ancestral knowledge, and a deep desire to bring dignity, sovereignty, and joy back to the birthing process.
Her company name, From the Start Holistic Services, says it all. Jas is there from the start. She’s there when you first find out.
When you’re navigating nausea and night sweats. When your fears rise and your trust wavers. She’s there during the hardest contractions and the deepest exhales. And most importantly, she’s there after the baby is born when the world expects you to “bounce back,” but your soul is still catching up.
Every Birth is Sacred and Deserves Sacred Support
One of the most beautiful things about Jas’s practice is how inclusive and adaptive it is. Whether it’s your first birth or your fifth, whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or birth center experience, Jas brings the same reverence and respect to each journey.
And yes, she works with loss and bereavement, too. Sometimes the story doesn’t go as planned, and those moments deserve just as much support and compassion.
It’s Never Too Late (or Too Early) to Say Yes
Many people think doula care is only for natural births, or that you need to hire someone in your first trimester. That’s a myth. Jas meets you where you are. Even if you’re 38 weeks and feeling overwhelmed, she can help.
Even if you had a traumatic past birth, she can help. Even if you just want a little extra reassurance, she can help.
Because support isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
What Would Change if You Said Yes?
Now comes the part where you pause and feel into the possibility.
What would it feel like to have someone in your corner, offering comfort, wisdom, and strength, not just for your body, but your soul?
What if birth became a healing, empowering, soul-expanding experience?
What if those tiny affirmation cards became anchors in your most vulnerable moments?
What if your recovery was gentle and deeply nourishing instead of rushed and lonely?
What if your story could be different?
