Kerynn Jetton

Hello! I'm Kerynn (pronounced like Corinne or 'kur-inn') and I was born in 1998 and raised in Sacramento, California. I and am married to my husband, Galen, who I share a 2 beautiful children with. I became a doula in 2019, and have served over 50 families in the Sacramento area since I've begun this work. I am a Certified Birth Doula (CD), Certified Postpartum Doula (CPD), Certified Childbirh Educator (CBE), Lactation Consultant Assistant (LCA), and Certified Breastfeeding Counselor (CLC). I recieved most of my education through International Doula Institute (IDI) as well as through American River College. Though I've spent much time on my education, my experience in the birth room and in the homes of exhausted new parents has been the greatest teacher in supporting families as a doula. After the pregnancy and birth of my son, Cayden, I became very passionate about women's health issues, especially in regard to all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My first birth experience left me reeling, and I realized how important and transformative this time of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum was for new mothers. I began seeing the gaps in how our society cares for it's mothers, and how the idea of "it takes a village" is nearly impossible for many people. After discovering the world of holistic birth, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. Though I was pursuing a degree in Nursing, I found my calling to the childbirth profession, and I decided to do a complete 180. I switched my goal from RN to Licensed Midwife. Becoming a Certified Doula was the first step in my long-term goal of becoming a midwife and doing what I am passionate about. However, once I began working as a doula, I fell in love with the supportive side of birth and postpartum. I found that working directly in the field with new parents is exactly where I wanted to be, and I hope to continue working as a doula long into the future!
