About Jess
Jessyca Maachi
Birth Student and Teacher
Birth Story Specialist
I am 41 years old, have been married for 16 and am a mother to a lovely 5 year old boy and a baby girl born last April.
I consider birth a sacred ceremony.
After apprenticing and working with amazonian plant medicines for healing and transformation for more than a decade, I became pregnant. The initiatory aspects of conception, gestation and birth, inspired me profoundly.
Along with blessings, hardships, growth and glory, the birth of a baby offers infinite new possibilities for the future of humanity and the world.
I am certified as a doula and postpartum doula by Gloria Lamey (Wise Women Way of Birth) and perinatal educator by Anep Brazil (National Perinatal Education Association). Trained Birth Story medicine with Pam England and am part of a traditional midwifery collective from Brazil.
As I start accompanying women in all phases of their motherhood journeys I feel extremely grateful and honoured to serve life by serving them, their babies and families.
