Jesse is an amazing teacher! It was an honor to learn from her and receive her knowledge. Her years of being a doula has given her insight to help supply us with wisdom in our journey in becoming Doulas. She is an amazing mentor and set me up to be a successful Doula. I appreciate every aspect of her guidance I have have received. I would highly recommend her as a teacher.

I had the most magical experience with the Mother Tree Doula team for postpartum training! They were so incredibly friendly, respectful, empowering, and just overall an amazing learning experience. I am very thankful for them and look forward to the next time I’m lucky enough to visit again!

Mother Tree doula training is the absolute best. Jesse Remer is an amazing instructor who exudes warmth and wisdom. She has created more than just a class – it is an experience. I have taken both the birth and postpartum in-person trainings and both times I have walked away with a wealth of knowledge and a full heart after 3-4 beautiful days of learning and connection. I also just love the cozy yurt and the surrounding farm. I highly recommend Jesse Remer and Mother Tree!
