Who We Are
Hi there! I’m Jen Latimer, MPH, sole proprietor at Your Uncompromised Path (YUP) NOLA, L3C. providing personalized doula support across the full spectrum of pregnancy, and end-of-life pathways. My vision is quite simple: I make every effort to support you in the way you navigate your journey, centering your values and augmenting your autonomy. Whatever your preferences, you’re in the driver’s seat. No soapbox, just support.
I trained in birth work with Sista Midwife Productions, Nicole Deggins' community doula program in New Orleans and as a death doula with Deathwives, Lauren Carrol and Erin Merelli’s groundbreaking end-of-life care program. My public health education and practice have afforded me over a decade of education in sexual and reproductive health education, patient navigation and counseling, motivational interviewing, gender-affirming care, and trauma-informed systems. I approach all my work through a lens of health equity and reproductive justice.
As your doula, I look forward to supporting you and your support network through whatever journey best suits you, here and now. I take pride in fostering phenomenal relationships with your medical team and other service providers, and welcome your support network to join us in any/all conversations according to your comfort.
