About Jamie Raisleger:

Jamie Raisleger is a wife and mother to three children including a five-year-old and twin babies. She is a birth doula and childbirth educator with a Bachelor’s in Human Biology and caught the birth bug when she attended her first birth in 2009.

Jamie's extensive experience as a patient within the medical system at an early age taught her to dig deeper when given boilerplate answers, navigate research articles, demand adequate and thoughtful care, and pursue solutions outside of the mainstream recommendations.

In her childbearing years, she has become a huge advocate for bodily autonomy, access to birth options, and nervous system resilience work for her clients and herself. She chose a home birth for her first baby and continued to use her experiences, background, and Holy Spirit guidance to navigate her twin pregnancy and out-of-hospital birth in March of this year.

Her days are now spent mothering her children, holding space for birthing families, and hosting The Triumphant Birth Podcast, a new show focusing on expert interviews, inspiring stories, and creating legacies of wholeness and healing through pregnancy and birth for our children's children's children.
