I’m Jesse Harris, the founder of Juno. While studying to become a nurse, midwife and women’s health nurse practitioner, I was also navigating my own journey through infertility, pregnancy, postpartum and now the early stages of perimenopause. I experienced firsthand how these transitions deeply affect the body, mind and identity and how difficult and confusing it can be to find the right support.

Even as someone trained in this field, I struggled to piece together care, ask the right questions and feel truly seen. I realized how overwhelming and fragmented the system was and how many others were trying to do it all alone. I naturally became a go-to for friends and family, offering guidance, teaching about the body, connecting people to resources and answering those 2 a.m. nursing questions from new mamas. I loved being that support and began to see a clear need for something more.

While raising my three young boys, including during the intensity of COVID, I kept hearing the same thing from my community. People were craving in-person connection and movement, and a sense of belonging. The idea for Juno began to take shape.

Instead of continuing to support people one-on-one through phone calls and texts, I wanted to create a physical space where we could gather together, move and heal our bodies, access expert guidance and find community through shared experience. A place that supports the physical changes and demands of being a woman, pregnancy, parenting and hormonal shifts while also holding space for the emotional and identity-level transitions that come with them.

Juno is the space I wish had existed as I moved through fertility, early motherhood and into parenthood and my own body changes. A warm, welcoming and inclusive space for education, healing and connection. Babies are welcome, diverse family structures are embraced and offerings evolve to reflect the needs of the broader community.

Wherever you are in your wellness, fitness, reproductive, parenting or hormonal journey Juno is here for you.
