Hi, I'm Carrie Jimenez- founder, owner, certified postpartum nutrition specialist, and certified postpartum doula here at Desert Dove Wellness. 

I am a wife to the most amazing man, mama of three, Christ-follower, coffee lover, self-proclaimed butter snob, and avid reader. 

Born and raised in Arizona, I've grown to cherish the quiet strength and beauty that is our desert home. 

When I’m not supporting families, you can find me spending time with my husband and my own three little ones, sipping coffee in coffee shops, and soaking in the beauty of the Arizona high desert. 

My first birth was an unplanned cesarean section. Not only was I trying to navigate motherhood for the first time, but I was also having to deal with some postpartum depression and anxiety that largely stemmed from the disappointment of how my birth turned out - all  while having to recover from major abdominal surgery.  

My second birth was a planned home birth. I didn't have much baby blues with my second born, but I still felt overwhelmed now with two small kids in tow. 

My third birth was another planned home birth. This time around, I'd already been serving the beautiful postpartum moms in our community, so I planned and prepared for postpartum much better. By doing this, my postpartum experience this third time was a beautiful season of healing, bonding, family time, joy, comfort, and restorative rest.

My own postpartum experiences showed me just how much support in this season matters.  That's why I founded Desert Dove Wellness. I wanted to be the kind of support I wished every family had- calm, reliable, compassionate, and practical. My goal is to help parents feel seen, heard, and cared for during those tender early weeks at home. 

I would be honored to walk alongside you in this special season and make sure you feel truly cared for, confident, and at home with your new little one.
