Hi, I'm Jessica.

(and art historian, and academic, and photographer, and writer, and educator, and calligrapher, and animal-lover, and beginner banjo-player, and chronic-pain-haver, and big sister, and daughter of parents who tried their best)
​
I made Soft Spaces for me, as I imagined somewhere that could encompass all these identities and where I could move slowly, close to the ground, and wholly held.
​
And I made it for you, your families, and your babies, new to the world and glowing and needing and already loving hard.
I'm a queer full-spectrum doula in Chicago.
