The Pregnancy Loss Training
& Support Company
Training and resources for doulas and pregnancy loss professionals supporting families through grief, healing, and hope.
Welcome to Evelyn James & Company
At Evelyn James & Company, we are dedicated to transforming perinatal loss care by equipping hospitals & healthcare professionals, doulas and other perinatal loss professionals with the tools, training, and resources needed to provide compassionate and comprehensive support for bereaved families.
When a baby dies, the world stops for that family. The care they receive next can either break them—or begin to heal them.My daughter Evelyn died during labor—when I least expected it…
Once in triage, I was met with the deepest loss. My husband was deployed. I felt alone. And yet, the care I received—from my doula Kendra, my nurse Michelle, my midwife Gretchen—saved my life.
It showed me what’s possible when grief is met with presence, compassion, and true support. That moment shaped everything. I became a Bereavement and Postpartum Doula, then created the training I couldn’t find that suited my needs—one that blends lived experience, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based practices. Because when a baby dies, a family is forever changed.
The care they receive in those fragile moments impacts their mental health, healing, relationships, and future. That care matters.
Our mission is to train 10,000 professionals by 2030 to ensure no family walks this path unsupported. Will you join us?

A Conversation on Pregnancy Loss
With Raising Illinois, Gifts from Liam and Evelyn James and Company.
Raising Illinois partnered with Gifts from Liam and Evelyn James Co for a discussion on pregnancy loss. In this frank and meaningful conversation, Anna Calix and Vallen Webb sit down with Raising Illinois Community Engagement Lead Jesse Rojo to discuss their experiences with stillbirth, the stigmas and systemic struggles they faced, and the need for more open conversation about pregnancy loss. We’re so thankful to Anna & Vallen for sharing their stories with us, and we hope this generates more conversation so that we can better support those in our communities experiencing loss.
