“It could easily be said that I’m a doula training junkie- I love learning and have an insatiable curiosity for didactic information that seems extremely available in the age of online media and connection. With that, I’ve sat through a variety of doula-related trainings and Jesse Remer’s is truly unlike any other. Her postpartum training was the most well-rounded in its delivery, exercises, and materials, and was easily the most diverse and intentional in its inclusivity and mindfulness. The most striking element of the workshop was how heart-centered it felt. I am not a doula trainer but I imagine it’s challenging to “teach” people how to trust in their ability to care. Jesse and those who lead in the workshop taught by genuine example. I felt cared for in an indescribable way and I suppose that’s what we can hope to learn as doulas. I’d recommend Jesse and her training to doulas at any place in their professional journey.”

“I began my journey with Mother Tree with the Postpartum Doula training. I cannot stress enough how beautiful my experience was. I trained with Jesse with the assistance of Jackie and I don’t think I’ve felt such dedication, compassion, and acceptance in a long time! The training was enlightening and fulfilling, it was shaped to the comfort and curiosities of me and my cohort and I would definitely recommend training with Jesse to anyone interested in Doula services. An added plus is the lovely farm and animals that are there too! <3“
