Jasmin Williams, Founder

Jasmin has been a certified Doula since 2012. Being a Doula is her passion and her heart and soul. In 2014, Jasmin founded the Doulas of Bavaria to be able to serve the community with a team of other doulas that followed the same ideals that she had. In 2018, she started an apprenticeship at an OB-Gyn office to become a physician's assistant. She still has one more year of studying and had to put a pause on her doula career to completely focus on the demand of the school curriculum. However, she is still involved with the birthing community here as much as possible. She also helps coordinate doulas with families to find their perfect doula match. Additionally, Jasmin helps plan local events for the community.
