Jasmine Sassack
Birth Doula
Northern Illinois & Chicago Area

I combine education, evidence-based research, and hands-on support to help you have an entirely different kind of labor and birth.
Whatever kind of birth you are planning, I am here to support your choices. I work at hospital births, home births, and birth centers. Many of my clients choose an epidural for pain management, and others choose to go med-free: I'm here to support whatever YOU choose. I serve many high-anxiety clients, as well as high-risk pregnancies and VBACs (vaginal birth after cesarean). Many of my clients are international, and English is often their second language. I am unapologetically inclusive.

Happy People
Jasmine supported me throughout my pregnancy listening and responding to me about decisions I was making, doc appts, family judgments, all while lending emotional support AND evidence-based factual support. She arrived at my labor at the perfect time, and helped me labor with my first son which was 110% better experience than what it would've been without her. Nurses complimented my room setup (essential oils, pretty lights, birthing ball & peanut..) and also the use of a tens unit which helped me in early labor. She described to me the logistics of what was happening as I was in pushing stage and my boy's heartrate was dropping. Many staff rushed in and it couldve been scary for me but she was in my ear with reassurance that everything was Ok. I would have her at my next birth!! Highly recommend. She goes above & beyond- she even got pictures!
