"I attending the postpartum doula training. Jesse has such a warm and loving presence which made the training feel so magical. She made me feel confident in my path to becoming a doula and assist parents to the best of my abilities. I’m so thankful for the space and energy for this training. "

"Jesse is an amazing instructor! I highly recommend the postpartum doula training. The class was fun, thorough, sensitive to equity and diversity issues, and very informative."

"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."

"Jesse Remer was an excellent teacher and facilitator. She was warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. Although this was a very different learning environment that we are used to, it helped to remain open minded and accepting. This is a learning experience we will never forget, but will forever be grateful for our strong start and foundation. Jesse Remer is a ROCKSTAR and a true BLESSING to the Doula world! Thank you for this amazing learning opportunity!"

"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"
