I'm Jenny Kramer, a mother of two, and a certified Nutrition Specialist and Postpartum Doula in Denver, through DONA International.
Originally from the East Coast, I now live in Denver, Colorado. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my kids and friends, going to live music, exploring Colorado, and traveling whenever I can. These are some of the things that help me fill my own cup—always seeking to find the balance in my life.
Before the birth of my first child, I felt well-equipped and confident in my upcoming role as a parent. I believed that my transition into motherhood would align with what I had always imagined. Although caring for my baby came naturally, I still found myself overwhelmed. From a difficult recovery to nursing challenges and sleep deprivation, everything was so much harder than I had thought it would be. Even with the loving support of family and friends, I still felt blindsided by my new reality. I felt that so much had been left unsaid about what was happening to me and within my body, and it was very frustrating. Sadly, at that time I had no idea that postpartum doulas existed. At this point, I made it my personal mission to help support and educate my friends and family members who became parents after me. In that way, I’ve been working as a doula ever since. Since supporting my clients through food was always so important to me, I decided to pursue a second second certification as a postpartum nutrition specialist.
I have always loved helping those around me - caring for friends and family when they are sick, cooking comforting and nourishing food, or simply just being there for them when they needed someone to listen. I have been helping care for babies and children since I was very young, working as a babysitter and camp counselor. As an adult, it was always a joy for me to be able to help my friends care for their babies, long before it was my profession.
After building a successful postpartum doula business here in Denver, I’ve recently shifted my focus to supporting families from a different perspective: postpartum nutrition. My experience as a doula continues to shape the way I work. I understand that nutrition is only one part of the picture, and that creating lasting change has to be realistic for your actual life. Together, we’ll assess where you are, identify what may be getting in the way, and create practical strategies for building new routines that help you feel more nourished, supported, and like yourself again.
