Hi, I’m Jill, owner of Birth Blessings Doula Services. My goal as a birth doula is to offer support (physical, emotional, educational) to moms and families so they can make the pregnancy and birth choices that are right for them, and then I do all I can to help them achieve that birth. I support moms who want to give birth in the hospital or at home, medicated or unmedicated, vaginal, cesarean, VBAC… I’m not here to tell moms what to do, I’m here to help them know their choices so they make the best decisions for themselves and their families. As a mom of 5 (one unplanned cesarean, 4 VBACs), I know the joys and challenges a new baby can bring, whether it’s the first or 5th! I provide postpartum support to help families adjust to their new lives- breastfeeding support, infant care, sleep assistance and more. I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, certified newborn care specialist, childbirth educator, certified lactation counselor and certified Body Ready Method Pro®. Serving families from Syracuse to Utica and surrounding areas.

At Thrive Chiropractic of CNY, we believe health care should feel like home. Not sterile. Not rushed. Not one-size-fits-all. We are Dr. Claire Petersen and Dr. Brooke Smith, two moms, chiropractors and real-life friends who genuinely love what we do, the people we serve, and the community we call home. We’ve built this practice to be the kind of place we’d want to go to—a place where you’re not just a patient, but part of our village. We both have the Webster certification through the ICPA and Dr. Claire has completed specialized training in pediatrics (CACCP). We understand the unique and incredible changes that happen during pregnancy – with your body, within yourself and within your family. If you have any questions, we’d love to hear from you!
