Welcome to Powerful Mamas®!

About the Owner...
My name is Jacquelyn Duke, and I am incredibly passionate about birth and babies, and have been for as long as I can remember.  From a young age I spent many nights on our farm in the barn "doula-ing" our livestock until the wee hours of the morning.

I LOVE what I do! Aside from being a mother and full time Realtor, teaching and helping others understand their choices and their own POWER during childbirth has been a major passion of mine for the last roughly 12-15 years. For over a decade I was a CAPPA Certified Childbirth Educator and Labor Doula as well as a National Labor Doula Trainer. I taught hundreds of clients how to have an informed and empowered birth experience! I also created one of the first in the nation online childbirth education courses.

When my children entered school I began a career as a full time Realtor.  However, I found that I really missed working with birthing families! So I decided to continue doing placenta encapsulation for local clients. I have been encapsulating placentas for over a decade. I am a fully certified Placenta Encapsulationist with the International Placenta & Postpartum Association, formally known as Full Circle Placenta.  I also have taken Blood Borne Pathogens training and Food Safety training.

I hope I have the pleasure of getting to know you in person via real estate services, or perhaps if I have the pleasure of encapsulating your placenta. Please feel free to contact me directly at 515-240-7483 with any inquiries that arise as you look through this website.  Happy Birthing!!!

Always Remember...

​​Birth can be a natural, empowering process. It does not have to be a medical event to be feared, manipulated, or controlled. Women and their partners should be respected and supported during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. They have the right to make informed decisions that are best for their unique family.

I am honored you are considering allowing Powerful Mamas® to support you on your birth journey!
