Jennifer Hydefrost, CPM
In addition to being a certified Our Baby Class (OBC) teacher & mentor, Jennifer is a mother of 2, a midwife, a postpartum doula, and a wife. She brings a wealth of knowledge from professional as well as personal experience. Jennifer is passionate about the experiences of families in the childbearing year, especially the postpartum family. Having supported more than 80 families through this postpartum time and gone through 2 extremely different postpartums herself, she has seen that there are some universal needs for all families and also that each family and each postpartum time is unique. Jennifer has respect for those similarities & differences. She facilitates an openness in class to allow the development of “the village” that we all need to raise our children. She offers a compassionate, open, non-judgemental space for discovery, during this most tender of times.
