Jana is a direct-entry midwife nationally certified through the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) as a Certified Professional Midwife as of 2020. Before becoming a midwife, she served many families as a doula certified through the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA) and childbirth educator trained through Bastyr University Simkin Center.

​Her midwifery clinical experience was completed through apprenticeship working with 8 different midwives over the course of 5 years (2015-2020). She completed her academic work with Mercy in Action midwifery school in November 2019. Since 2012, she has attended more than 400 births as a doula, midwife assistant, or primary midwife.
​
In October 2020 she started her own homebirth midwife practice in Kansas City serving both Kansas & Missouri, called Blessing Birth Midwifery and in October 2023 she started a joint venture midwife practice in St. Mary's Kansas with two midwives-to-be called Morning Star Midwives. In 2021, she founded Global Education of the Midwife (GEM) with fellow local Kansas City midwife, Rachel Schwepler, CPM, with a vision to raise up many doulas and midwives to serve the nations through the care of families through childbirth.
