Jenna Kolesar
Jenna is a mom of 3 (age 7,4 and 2) and a postpartum doula that serves Edmonton and surrounding area families.
She worked as a registered nurse for 10 years in various roles including pediatrics and mental health. Her journey to motherhood and the challenges she faced postpartum after her first two children became some of her biggest lessons and fuel for her passion to support families.
After dealing with breastfeeding struggles, postpartum anxiety and depression she learned more about holistic support for pregnancy and postpartum and the importance of planning for the fourth trimester. She experienced a totally different postpartum with her third baby when she took the time to plan for her rest, support and recovery utilizing food and nutrition.
She studied Ayurvedic postpartum doula care and now provides holistic support for families in their fourth trimesters. Her specialities include food and herbal medicine for recovery and Ayurvedic Belly massage and wrapping. She offers nourishment deliveries and has a line of hand crafted herbal products to support different stages of motherhood.
Her passion is being able to “mother the mother” helping support you through this pivotal transition in your life with compassionate support, practical in home help and guidance on holistic principles of postpartum recovery and baby care.
