Greetings, I’m Jessica (Jess) Provancha. I’ve been a professional ASL/English interpreter for about 14 years and have been in the medical field since I turned 18. I currently live and work mainly in rural southern Minnesota. My own interest in birth, pregnancy, and family health began with my own struggle to have children and journey to discovering why. This lead to forgiving out how to partner with the patient and/or partner to provide a better birth experience for others.

My immediate family includes my husband Michael and our three delightful daughters: Violet, Alice, and Hattie. When I’m not working or chauffeuring my children, I can be found running or biking the many trails around our town OR planning our next family adventure.
