Birth is the sacred dance between two worlds- life, and whatever comes before.
Are you ready to join the dance?

Hi! I'm Jenessa Berg (she/her). I'm a birth doula+creative dance teacher,
a wife, and a mother to four beautiful children.
My journey to birth work began as a child, devouring my mom's copy of "What to Expect When You're Expecting" at 8 years old and attending the births of my younger siblings. I began college at BYU with the intent to work in a hospital Labor and Delivery department. I soon realized, however, that it would be a path to burnout for me.
I switched gears to study contemporary dance, believing that the power of the arts was a path to healing and wellness. I learned so much about the power of the mind-body connection and it has changed everything about my approach to life.
I danced throughout my pregnancies, taking classes, performing, and teaching. As it came time to give birth, I found that what I had learned through creative dance, combined with my knowledge and passion for birth, made for a remarkable childbirth preparation experience.
My own childbirth experiences were wildly transformative. I've experienced a classic "cascade of interventions" birth, a redemptive but oh-so-speedy birth, a "home birth in the hospital," and a euphoric home birth in our RV.
I'm so pleased to be sharing what I've learned with my community, and learning from each beautiful human that comes my way, too!
Thank you for being here.
The way you are treated during birth matters deeply. I follow your lead during this sacred and intimate time, protecting your space and filling in the gaps by supporting you however you need. I have skills, knowledge, and tools to help, but I find that what is most often needed is a loving, trusting, and safe presence. I believe in you!
I'm located in Orem, Utah and travel up to 90 minutes for my clients.
Together we create, discover, explore, and more in these one-of-a-kind classes.
