I always knew I wanted to have a doula for my first birth.  After reading numerous positive reviews and speaking to her I selected Colleen.  I'm very happy with my decision.  There is a lot of information to take in and Colleen helped me get ready for my birth.  Colleen is a wealth of knowledge and quickly responds to concerns.  She provides weekly video pre-natal and post partum groups that I attended frequently.  Colleen also offerred to take photos of my birth that are very semential to me.  As I look back at my birth experience I'm glad that Colleen was present with me.  

Having Jenn as our birth and postpartum doula was the best decision! Jenn is compassionate, empathetic, warm, and extremely knowledgeable in her work. She was always available to answer all our questions during my pregnancy and offered invaluable advice when my due date came and went. She made me feel safe, calm, and excited about giving birth! Jenn supported me in my hypnobirthing journey, but was also encouraging when things didn’t go as expected. She explained all my options to me (I ended up choosing a membrane sweep at 41 weeks, which was successful). I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Jenn’s support and encouragement during my long labor. Our midwife called in sick the night I went into labor, so having Jenn by our side at the hospital ensured that my birth and postpartum plan was respected. While I didn’t experience the birth I planned, thanks to Jenn, it was an incredibly positive and transformative experience.

The five postpartum weeks we had with Jenn helped us enormously. We learned so much from Jenn about child-caring. She also has a wealth of contacts she can share with you— trustworthy lactation consultants, sleep experts, etc. She helped me navigate my challenges with breastfeeding, and thanks to Jenn’s support our little girl was finally able to start gaining weight! We were able to get some sleep during the nights Jenn was with us. Our daughter now has no problems falling asleep and is well adjusted thanks no doubt to the early, warm care she received from Jenn. We recommend Jenn with our utmost enthusiasm!

We were lucky enough to have Jennese present at the birth of both our children (our son in 2021, and our daughter in 2023). There are not really adequate words to express the value we placed on having Jennese there for us throughout our pregnancy, during the birth, and postpartum. Jennese was always responsive to my questions, providing reputable articles to help ensure I had the information I needed to make informed choices every step of the way. She spent the time with my husband and I to ensure we were mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared for the birth of each child. She brought an endless well of knowledge and experience to the table that was invaluable to us. During both births, Jennese was a calming presence who was tuned in to my needs through every phase of labor. While much of the birth process is not under our control, Jennese did everything she could to advocate for me and the birth experience I was hoping to have. My husband was thankful to have her by his side during both births to provide support for me and for him throughout. I truly am able to look back on both of my births with joy and pride, in large part because of Jennese's support. I wholeheartedly recommend Jennese as a doula and I am thankful to count her as a friend.
