Jennifer Hudson, DO, FACOG

Owner, Physician

Dr. Hudson's love for Women's Health started in her undergraduate studies when she engaged in a volunteer program at a local hospital, seeing her first birth on Labor & Delivery. She was determined then to attend medical school and the rest is history! During residency training, she had the unique opportunity to train in both a busy downtown hospital and a military medical facility which afforded her experience in both low and high risk obstetrics and gynecologic surgery in a wide variety of patient populations. Once on her own, she realized there was a whole realm of optimal health and wellness not being focused on in the conventional medical model and decided to marry modern and functional medicine. She completed both the Kresser Institute's ADAPT Framework Level One course and all advanced practice modules for certification through the Institute of Functional Medicine.
Dr. Hudson believes it is a joy and honor to serve the women and families in the community using a whole-person and more integrative approach to health. Her favorite clinical interests include fertility, natural/physiologic birth, lactation, family planning, and minimally-invasive gynecologic surgery. She takes pride in an extremely low cesarean rate and loves partnering with local birth workers to foster the beautiful process of childbirth in a hospital setting. She welcomes both low and high risk pregnancies. Dr. Hudson has delivery and surgical privileges solely at St. Luke's Boise.
Dr. Hudson moved to Idaho in 2011 as a newlywed and has called this “honeymoon” home ever since. She describes herself as a former New Yorker, collegiate athlete, Air Force veteran, and a crunchy mom who wants to share the journey of natural health with women and their families. When not in the office, she enjoys hiking the Boise foothills, biking the Greenbelt, concerts at Outlaw Field, visiting local hot springs or wineries, paleo cooking, and sleep!

Jessica, CNM, APRN

Certified Nurse Midwife

Jessica is a Certified Nurse Midwife who has been practicing in an advanced role since 2014. Her passion for women’s health started through her own experiences navigating the medical system, where she saw firsthand the need for providers who truly listen and partner with women in their care. When she began planning her own family, that interest quickly grew into a deeper calling—leading her to pursue midwifery and a career dedicated to supporting women through all stages of their reproductive lives, including pregnancy and birth.
Jessica relocated to Boise to work at Treasure Valley Midwives, a freestanding birth center, where she supported women seeking physiologic, low-intervention birth. Along the way, she also served as a nursing instructor at the college level and spent six years practicing functional medicine within a women’s health-focused setting, where she took on a leadership role supporting patient care and program development. These experiences shaped her integrative, root-cause approach to care.
Her clinical interests include hormone balance, PCOS, endometriosis, perimenopause, menopause, infertility, and comprehensive women’s health care. She also provides in-office procedures including Nexplanon insertions and IUD placement. While she uses conventional treatments when appropriate, her primary focus is helping women understand what’s driving their symptoms and supporting them in achieving long-term, sustainable health.
Jessica believes it is both a privilege and an honor to care for women through the many phases of their lives. She is passionate about meeting women where they are and helping them feel more confident, informed, and connected to their bodies.
Originally from Vermont, Jessica now calls Boise home. Outside of the clinic, she enjoys skiing at Bogus Basin, hiking, gardening, traveling, and reading—often finishing around 50 books a year. She especially values slow mornings with coffee in the sunshine, time outdoors with friends or her children, and evenings spent around the table with family—often with her dog, Bernie, nearby.
