o'ahu postpartum doula services
 

MEET YOUR DOULA

Aloha and welcome, friend! My name is Jenna Clarke!


I was born and raised on the North Shore of O’ahu in Hawai’i.  In my personal life, I’m a wife, momma, daughter, sister, friend, essential oil lover, and follower of Jesus.

My husband is a kiwi from New Zealand, so we spent the first 7 years of our marriage living in Aotearoa.  We moved back to O’ahu in November 2013, and then in summer 2019 we moved to Lexington, Kentucky.

Yes, we moved from Hawai'i to Kentucky (by choice) and we love it!

Sweet words from amazing clients

Testimonials

“Jenna is absolutely the best. We first hired her for sleep training services 2 years ago when our son was 3 months old. I had read all of the books and tried it all, but nothing was working. Once we hired Jenna, our son slept completely through the night FOUR NIGHTS LATER! I was in disbelief. Two years later, he is still the best sleeper and I attribute all of it to Jenna. All of my friends are jealous of his sleep patterns and it truly is due to Jenna’s sleep training. The friends that I have referred to Jenna for sleep training have also had the best experience and have children who sleep just as well as ours, so I know our son is not a fluke and her methods and guidance are proven.”

Shannon, Seattle, WA

“Jenna is loving, kind and encouraging. Her willingness to learn what our families desires for our child's sleep was paramount to our success. Jenna took the time to meet with and learn about where our baby would be sleeping, family dynamics (siblings) and what our end goal was before prescribing an implementation plan. Jenna is available, encouraging and most importantly she is flexible in her approach. I cannot recommend Jenna and her services enough. She made bringing home our second baby less stressful and our family is more cohesive as a result. Thank you, Jenna!”

Jeanna, Columbia, MO

“Jenna used her extensive knowledge and expertise in newborns while sleep training our daughter. She is friendly, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and not afraid to take on a challenge. During her overnight shifts, her responsibilities included sleep training our daughter, preparing bottles, feeding, providing baths, changing diapers, calming and quieting our daughter, and allowing us a quiet night’s sleep and peace of mind knowing that our little bundle of joy was safe and being taken care of. Jenna’s calming energy not only kept our daughter calm, but also provided a stress-free environment while adjusting to our new family of three children.”

Marissa, Honolulu, HI

“If you want someone knowledgeable, kind and to be by your side throughout your birth and after then Jenna is your girl. I can’t talk highly enough about her and love that she also incorporates essential oils. You won’t be disappointed.”

Elizabeth, Victoria, Australia

“One quality that I appreciate the most is Jenna is open and understanding and always respects my personal decisions, views, and opinions. Jenna is a wealth of information and not only has the expertise backed by professional credentials, but through experience. Jenna was always just a phone call or text away to help answer any question I had and was always so prompt in responding (and in sending me resources and evidence based information to access). Jenna provided not only holistic remedies, but information on western medicine and medical procedures. She provided coaching and guidance for the labor and delivery process to both my husband and me.”

Jody, Honolulu, HI

Learn more about my journey

In addition to direct client care, I also offer classes and consultations on how to naturally prepare your body for conception, support your body during pregnancy, and use essential oils in labor, birth and beyond. We believe that natural solutions are safe, affordable and effective. I teach families how to utilize evidence-based alternative and complementary therapies in partnership with your health care providers. My background and Masters degree is in Public Health, so preventive health solutions have always been on the forefront of my professional career. It brings me great joy to pass on my knowledge and share plant-based tools that work! Trust me, I was a snobby skeptic at first. Turns out, I didn't know about alternative medicine. For the past 9 years, we have learned about a whole new world of lifestyle medicine (backed by research) that is just not taught or widely understood in western medicine. 

Both of our beautiful daughters were born at Birthcare, a primary birthing center in Auckland, New Zealand.  I planned for and was blessed to experience two wonderful, natural child births under the care of my midwife. 

Through these experiences and my background in health system management, I became more aware of the maternity system in America.  When we moved back to Hawai’i in 2013, I transitioned my career to start Malama Momma. A year later, I completed doula training and have been offering birth and postpartum services for the past 8 years. 

Malama is Hawaiian and means, “to care for”, “to protect”.  My hope and prayer is to offer my services to empower you to care for and protect your journey into parenthood. Becoming a parent changes you forever and having an expert guide can make the experience so much smoother. 

I look forward to meeting you either in Lexington, Hawai'i, in your area, or online. I am certified and belong to a variety of professional associations for my industry. Please book in a call with me so we can discuss how I may serve your family.
