The Inspired Doula Hi, I’m Angela Jenks, the heart behind The Inspired Doula. 💛
I’m passionate about walking alongside families with warmth, wisdom, and encouragement.

From pregnancy to postpartum, my goal is to help you feel confident, supported, and inspired! The miracle of new life is a beautiful time for your family. Your doula will be there to provide emotional, physical, and spiritual strength. She will be calm, knowledgeable, and even keeled. Her desire is for your child’s birth to be the best possible experience. Angela has 4 children of her own and an a

mazing husband. She has over 13 years of experience helping others go through the birthing process and adjusting to life as a parent. Her passion for this stage of life and her experience as a therapist uniquely qualify Angela to be your doula. Angela is ProDoula certified Labor Doula and holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology specializing in marriage and family. She also has several certifications, including First Responder and CPR. She is a Body Ready Method Pro, a trained Hypnobabies Hypno-doula, and a certified Birth Trauma Worker.

It has been an honor to walk beside each and every family through education, birth, lactation, and their postpartum experiences! I count each journey as a blessing! We share laughs and tears. I show them pictures of my own children and how crazy it was at the beginning having 4 babies in 5.5 years. They were all little and chubby at the same time and now we are amazing at the teens and young adults they are becoming. Motherhood is an absolute gift! I would love to come along side you on your journey, to honor the process of becoming a mom. If you are considering doula support; send me a message, give me a text or call, or shoot me an email. Let’s connect and see how INSPIRE can serve you! 🙌✨🫶🌞

Worth the wait… birth can be slow or it can be fast and furious, but there is always a wait at some point. One wait (I love) happens in the golden hour right after birth. It feels like time stands still and there are only 3 people in the room… mom, dad, and their new baby! Off to the side, quietly holding space, I am there!

Always look for the rainbow. It stands as a reminder somewhere between the storm and the glorious sunshine. It ties together loss and new life. If you have your rainbow or are still waiting, stay hopeful and consistent. Rainbows come when you least expect them. Those births are so special. I am there.

Often I walk the halls of these places during the night hours. Very few people get to witness my coming and going. I slip in and out with gentle words. Most have no idea that the care team that embraces the night hours is a different breed. Rare. Dedicated. Compassionate. Those that step into the night hold the gates open for the blessings these families welcome. I am there.

This space is holy. It is the gate between home and the birth room as we enter into the hospital. It is filled with strangers attempting to build trust. I never take it for granted when I am invited into this space. A doula can change the atmosphere especially during this moment. I am there.

I have been in this room often enough to tell you about the emotions this room holds. The sense of loss, struggle, fear, experience, minuscule joy, heartbreak, relief, and hope. In all honesty, there are 1000 more emotions, each person on the team supporting the beautiful family is holding in their thoughts. And I, as the doula, am watching, listening, and connecting because what happens next will shape their view of birth, possibly forever. I am there. 💕

The story this little bird could share recounting the power, determination, and love of the newest INSPIRE family as they welcomed their baby. If you have ever or never asked me what I do, I would tell you… I am absolutely blessed to share my calling and my deep dive education on perinatal support and wellness with over 500 families. Even on the hard days, I am blessed to walk with these moms and dads as they journey into parenthood for their first time or as seasoned parent professionals. Just kidding, the moment we feel like we know everything, be ready because a humbling is coming. If you are looking for a doula, a mentor, an encourager, or to visit with another mom on this parenting journey please reach out!

We just finished session 2. Birth can be hard. It needs support. It needs guidance. And even then… trauma creeps in . Let’s make birth better. Let’s Redeem Birth.

If you asked me why I go days without adequate sleep, eat food from vending machines & cafeterias that serve rubber eggs and it might be bacon, kiss my hubby goodbye without known when I will lay next to him again, hug all my babies twice because I might miss their bedtime, why I linger on a phone call just to make sure that I have answered all of that mom’s questions, I stay bedside after birth just to make sure you are safe, I double check on your husband because this is something that is completely out of his control and he can’t fix it, and a mile long list of other thoughts, feelings, and situations that make me the doula I am. I love serving families. I love my family. I love being a doula and if you are looking for someone to walk this journey with you, just reach out. I look forward to that long conversation filled with introductions and conversations about your hopes and dreams, the trauma you carry from a previous birth, or the challenge of connecting you with the right provider for your hospital, home, or birth center birth. And to my fellow doulas, you are amazing! Keep doing what you do best in your own unique way and I will be your biggest cheerleader! Together, we can make birth better!
