Hi, I'm Jessica Mairs
Welcome to my world of midwifery, where each birth is a celebration of new life. I’m a Certified Professional Midwife with a heartfelt calling to support your unique birthing journey. From the moment I embraced midwifery, I knew it was my life’s work to support mothers to feel empowered and welcome new life. My background in Psychology and French, enriched with a specialization in women’s studies, complements my extensive hands-on experience from Birthingway College. As a mother and midwife, I’ve celebrated over 400 births and counting. Sierra Homebirth is a testament to my passion for providing nurturing, family-centered care. Let’s honor the beauty of your birth experience together.

Discover the powerful reflections of those we’ve guided. Each story shared here is a testament to the trust, connection, and personal growth experienced through our services.
It was clear from the beginning that Jessica was a gifted midwife and was absolutely in tune with a pregnant woman’s mental and physical journey. … After my daughter was born Jessica tended to both of us, ensuring that we were equally healthy and stable.
Prior to this pregnancy I had two hospital births where I felt I was not supported or allowed to be an active participant. … Jessica, Melanya and Cara are all thoughtful and intuitive care providers. During my pregnancy I was encouraged to be involved in my care and make decisions based on what was right for our family.
I deeply appreciate the complete presence these women held for the birth of our son. … When questions or complications arose, they were knowledgeable and swift to care for me.
I was a nurse in labor and delivery and I was blessed to have two wonderful natural hospital births surrounded by loving and supportive medical staff that were like family to us. … The moment I talked to Jessica on the phone and explained our situation, I knew that they would be the ones to help us on our journey. … They supported my family and I in ways that go beyond pregnancy and birth.
Throughout the process but especially during child birth, Jessica’s calm, loving, and mothering presence is coupled by her vast knowledge, keen judgement, and reassurance. … Melanya’s strong grasp of the issues concerning pregnancy and her easy going demeanor allowed for open discussions concerning difficult decisions. … Cara, their apprentice, has an unwavering ability to listen and provide comforting support.
