What is the Aligned & Thriving Peer Support Network?
Welcome! The peer-led Aligned & Thriving Peer Support Network is for women entrepreneurs—new and experienced doulas, perinatal professionals, health & wellness practitioners, service-based founders, and anyone who feels called who want to grow sustainable, aligned businesses without burning out or losing themselves in the process.
For those who don’t know me, my name is Jessica Palmquist. I hold a Master’s in Education with a focus on curriculum development and leadership and have been teaching for nearly 20 years. I’m an experienced full-spectrum doula, doula trainer (5+ years), yoga teacher (CYT-E 500hrs+), wellness practitioner (15+ years), and long-time mentor. I’ve built businesses from the ground up—multiple times, in multiple provinces.
Life has also been a powerful teacher. Travelling to 34+ countries, navigating IVF, leaving the corporate world, and re-designing my life through entrepreneurship has given me deep insight into what it really takes to build a sustainable, fulfilling business. I’m a lifelong learner, always immersed in professional development, and deeply committed to aligned growth—personally and professionally.
When I became a yoga teacher and later a doula, I quickly noticed a gap in support after certification. Years later, I still hear this echoed by new and seasoned entrepreneurs alike. That’s what inspired me to create the FREE Aligned & Thriving Peer Support Network—the kind of post-certification, real-life support I wish I had.
This is a peer mentorship-style community for women entrepreneurs and founders who want to reach their next meaningful milestone without sacrificing themselves in the process. It goes beyond business basics to include wellness, sustainability, leadership, and alignment—because your business should support your life, not the other way around.
This community supports entrepreneurs at all stages to grow into grounded, intuitive, thriving, and prosperous founders—in business and in life. What that looks like is unique to you: from scheduling and boundaries, to revenue, program planning, and lifestyle design.
How are we different from traditional business support spaces?
Here, we explore:
Business foundations & practical program planning
Leadership development & aligned growth
Personal & professional development
Wellness, mindset, and self-care practices (for you and your clients)
Intuitive and values-led decision making
Realistic systems, boundaries, and sustainable structures
With clarity and confidence, you can re-shape your business in a way that truly works for you.
There is a high burnout rate among care-led providers—especially those supporting others during intimate, vulnerable seasons of life, often on someone else’s timeline. This work is deeply rewarding and demanding. To show up fully and sustainably, we need spaces that support us too. This community is here to offer direction, inspiration, and collective care as we grow—professionally and personally.
In this community, there is no gatekeeping and no trade secrets. We are equals, regardless of experience. We believe in collective success. Everyone has something to share, and everyone has something to learn. Whether you’re building, levelling up, or re-designing your business and lifestyle, you belong here.
If you have questions keeping you up at night—this is the place to ask them. There are no stupid questions.

🩵No gatekeeping or exclusive tips - We believe in collective growth. Share generously, credit when appropriate, and avoid positioning yourself as the sole authority.
🩵Thoughtful support - There are no stupid questions. Offer feedback mindfully, with care, clarity, and kindness.
🩵Confidentiality matters - What’s shared here stays here. Please do not screenshot, forward, or share conversations outside the group. The content is meant for your personal use.
🩵Resources and referrals - Opportunities and offerings will be shared intentionally and with consent.
🩵Participation over perfection - You’re welcome to observe, engage quietly, or jump in fully—whatever feels aligned for you. No pressure to perform.
