Meet

Hi everyone! I'm happy you are here! 

My name is Jacquelyne Livengood, I am the owner of Wild Roots Birth Collective, a Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, and Student Midwife, former CNA. I am CPR/First Aid + Neonatal Resuscitation certified. 

My love for birth and supporting mama's has spanned over the last 30+ years! I am a mom of 6 + 3 bonus kiddos, I had 4 beautiful, supported, home births with my first 4 babies, with my midwife present (well for 3 of them), and had planned that my 5th daughter would follow suit and be born at home, but that pregnancy came with many complications,my water broke at 24 weeks, I was hospitalized and they began prepping for delivery, thankfully, the meds slowed down the contractions, and I was able to go home a week later on bedrest, only for it to happen again at 34 weeks, 5 days, which led to a failed induction,and she was delivered by emergency c-section at 35 weeks. My son followed suit 6 years later. 

I have expirienced so many challenges in my pregnancies, from miscarriages, hemmoraging, hyperemisis gravidarum, pre-term baby, precipitious birth (the one the midwife didn't make it to on time ,LOL)  large babies,  ranging from 9 lbs 1 oz - 10 lbs 3 oz., I had should dystocia with the biggest baby, plus 2 c-sections, I've kind of experienced it all! Whew! 

Those contrasting experiences - the empowered, supported home births and the lonely, clinical c-sections, shaped my calling.  I understand both sides of birth, and I know firsthand the power of having someone who will listen, hold space and advocate for your voice and choices to be heard and respected.  I'd love to be that SUPPORT for you! 

Anyone that knows me also knows by BIGGEST passion in birthwork is LOVING on my POSTPARTUM Mama's! The client reviews speak for themselves. I am certifying to do Ayurvedic Postpartum Massage, I also offer BengKung Belly Binding, and offer concierage-level postpartum support for the families I support. 

I’m Terri Jones, MSW. I am 26 years married, mom of 3 incredible kids. I have a bachelor’s and Masters degree in Social Work. I have spent the majority of my Social Work Career working in Pediatric Emergency Departments. I believe this gives me a unique perspective in working with potential families. 

I have also worked as a portrait photographer for 21 years. This has been a passion of mine since I was a child. I have watched so many families grow over the years. Recently even begun photographing senior sessions of kids I photographed as newborns. What an amazing honor that is. 

I have such a deep connection to families I have worked with either in the emergency room or when photographing them. Some photography clients have become years long friends. I feel drawn to continue that with more growing families in a different way.  I want to support women and their families to have the birth they want and will do that through education, advocacy and support. I want them to feel prepared to bring a baby into the world and to parent that child. It is an immense blessing. 

I have started my certification journey through Maternity Wise Institute to become a— a certified birth and postpartum doula, and lactation counselor. In addition I would love to photograph your birth as I believe it will help you to remember the events of the day.

Like many other Doulas, I feel this is where I am meant to be. 

I believe I have been led in this direction and I can not wait to help many families. 

Hi, I’m Tracy Williams, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC). I’ve been supporting breastfeeding families since 2012, and my journey into lactation care began with my own experiences as a mother.

With each of my three children, I faced many of the same challenges my clients do – infant weight loss, poor or stalled weight gain, poor latch, nipple pain/damage, and low milk supply. I struggled, and despite my best efforts, I was unable to continue breastfeeding my first two babies. Everything changed with my third: with the guidance of a compassionate and knowledgeable IBCLC, I was

finally able to overcome those challenges and breastfeed successfully for 18 months. That experience showed me how the right help, at the right time, can make all the difference.

Now, it is my privilege to be that support for other families. My goal as your lactation consultant is to help you feel confident, informed, and supported in your feeding journey - whatever that looks like for you.

I offer:

~ Prenatal Classes & Consultations – Prepare for breastfeeding before baby arrives.

~ Postpartum Breastfeeding Consults – Help with latch, supply, nipple pain, and feeding challenges.

~ Bottle & Supplemental Feeding Consults – Guidance for bottle refusal, supplemental feeding options, paced bottle feeding, and feeding techniques for caregivers.

~ Return-to-Work/School Consults – Plan for pumping, milk storage, and maintaining supply.

~ Flange & Bra Fittings – Find the right, comfortable fit for your body and pump.

~Text Support – Ongoing encouragement and answers when you need them most.

Whether you are pregnant and preparing, newly postpartum, fully breastfeeding, combo feeding, or navigating the return to work or school, I’m here to meet you where you are - with knowledge, empathy, and a deep belief that with the right support, every family can find their rhythm in the way they nourish and care for

their little one and thrive together.
