Meet Jamie Davis
Jamie Davis is the founder of Whole Story Consulting, a practice dedicated to helping organizations design systems that truly work for real people.
Jamie brings a unique combination of lived experience, professional leadership, and systems expertise to her work. For years, she has worked alongside hospitals, nonprofits, community organizations, and statewide initiatives to strengthen support for families navigating pregnancy, recovery, and complex systems of care.
Her work focuses on bridging the gap between policy and real life—helping organizations translate good intentions into practical, compassionate solutions that improve outcomes for families and communities.
Jamie is known for her ability to bring people together across disciplines, facilitate honest and productive conversations, and design programs that are both thoughtful and sustainable. Her approach integrates trauma-informed practice, systems thinking, and the belief that families deserve to be supported with dignity, respect, and understanding.
In addition to consulting and training work, Jamie also provides doula services and recovery coaching, supporting families directly during pregnancy, postpartum, and the early stages of parenting. This direct connection to families keeps her work grounded in the real experiences that systems are meant to serve.
Through Whole Story Consulting, Jamie partners with organizations that are ready to strengthen their programs, support their teams, and build systems that honor the full story of the people they serve.
My Approach
At Whole Story Consulting, the belief is simple: systems work best when they are designed with the full story in mind.
Organizations are often asked to address complex challenges—supporting families, improving outcomes, and navigating systems that were not always built to work together. Meaningful change happens when we slow down, listen carefully, and design solutions that reflect the real experiences of the people those systems are meant to serve.My approach blends lived experience, professional expertise, and systems thinking. I work collaboratively with organizations to understand what is already working, identify where challenges exist, and create practical strategies that can be implemented and sustained.
Listen First
Understanding the experiences of families, providers, and communities is essential to designing systems that truly work.
Honor the Human Side of Systems
Policies, procedures, and programs affect real people. Compassion and dignity must be part of how systems operate.
Focus on Practical Solutions
Change should not live only in reports or recommendations. The goal is to build systems and programs that teams can realistically implement and sustain.
Work in Partnership
Lasting change happens through collaboration. My role is to support organizations as they strengthen their work and move forward together.
