My pregnancy, like the majority of pregnancies, took unexpected twist and turns. There were many times that I found myself in darkness with the many decisions I had to make surrounding my care. Jenna was at every corner, helping me navigate my choices, not telling me what to do, but intuitively guiding me so that I felt empowered to choose my path. When it came time to birth, Jenna showed up with kindness, empathy, wisdom and love for my entire family. I can't imagine a more trustworthy, wise and wonderful midwife. Grateful for people with a calling. -Sandra and Teotl |
On May 2019, me and my Husband lived the most amazing event; the miracle of experiencing a natural birth (no epidural, no C-section, etc). It all started when I decided to have a natural birth for my baby girl and began interviewing multiple midwives in El Paso, TX. As soon as I met Jennifer ("Jenna") Olliges, I knew I had found the perfect midwife for me and my baby girl. From the very beginning, Jenna was very friendly, supportive, caring, accessible and most importantly very professional and knowledgeable to answer all of my questions related to pregnancy, birth and lactation. I will definitely hire Jenna again for my next pregnancy and delivery! (And she did!) -Paola and family |
Working with Jenna, I have never felt so seen and validated from a provider. Informed consent and body autonomy are very clearly important to her in every aspect and that is life changing for an expecting mama. I always felt like I could reach out or ask any questions with zero judgement from her. She was kind, informative and responsive. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a midwife! We love and appreciate her so much. -The Gajnos Family |
As a first time mom, I can't say enough good things about our midwife, Jenna! She provided exceptional care throughout the entire process with support, resources, autonomy, knowledge, warmth and passion. She was gentle yet confident with our desires, fears, goals and family members. She was always available when we had questions or needed guidance. I also think it's important to share that our experience with Jenna eased my husbands concerns. He loved everything about our home birth just as much as I did! - Dustin, Kate & Haddie Engle |
Jenna made all our homebirth dreams come true.
We switched to Jenna's care at 20 weeks for our second child (we birthed in a hospital for our first). She let us lead and guided us with her wisdom in all of our prenatal appointments and throughout labor. She truly honors the process of physiological birth and her calm and steady presence throughout labor was so empowering. Throughout the 20 weeks she was just a text message away for any worries and made us feel fully equipped and confident for birth. Her compassionate and calm support was everything I needed for my first six weeks of postpartum care. Her approach is warm, consenting, and educational (I learned so much more about birth and myself this time around)! I wish everyone could have a Jenna for their pre and post natal journey. - Sara and family |
