She is the creator of the popular DVD “Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga ~ Jennifer Wolfe” and has just released a second DVD entitled “Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga~ Short Forms with Jennifer Wolfe”. She founded the Dolphin Yoga and Doula Center in 2002 to help birthing women and their partners have better birth experiences by providing knowledge, tools and a comforting environment for prenatal health and childbirth.

Jennifer has studied yoga for the past eleven years with a variety of instructors including Doug Swenson. As a hypnotherapist for the past eleven years, Jennifer has pioneered Childbirth Hypnosis, a unique methodology she developed for gentle birthing and anxiety reduction. Jennifer utilizes Childbirth Hypnosis and yoga in her doula practice to achieve deep mind and body relaxation. She has prepared hundreds of pregnant women for childbirth and provided doula support in over 300 births (over 7500 hours with Laboring women) at Mills Peninsula, Sequoia, Kaiser, Stanford, El Camino, Good Samaritan, Valley Care Medical Center, Pleasanton Birth Home, and California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) hospitals.

Tracy Stettner
Tracy is a Birth and Post Partum Doula, a certified Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor and Nutritional Counselor. Tracy has been working for many years in the fitness industry and has spent the last few years focused on pre/postnatal clients. She so enjoyed working with this clientele that in June 2006 she became a Doula as well.
Women have such different views of what a happy and healthy child birth is that Tracy views her role as a coach to the laboring woman in making her labor and delivery experience as incredible as possible. Since every birth is so unique whatever road is traveled to get there, the birth was successful if the woman and her partner felt empowered and educated to make safe and effective decisions. Tracy will participate in all kinds of birth situations from home births to medicated hospital births. She believes strongly that a Doula is beneficial in all situations.
As a fitness expert and nutritional counselor, Tracy is excited to not only assist pre/post natal women, but all those who are eager to work hard on bringing their bodies into optimal health. She has years of experience assisting women and men of all ages of become more physically fit and nutritionally balanced.
