We hired Priscilla around 28 weeks, and I wish I'd had her the whole pregnancy! We gained so much knowledge from her and Kristina prior to delivery via zoom calls, an in person class, and 24/7 text support. As my due date approached, Priscilla  gave tons of advice on how to prepare and get baby to come naturally. When I got to 40 weeks I felt discouraged I would have to be induced, but I followed Priscilla's suggestions and sure enough, I went into labor the next day. When I wasn't sure whether I was having real contractions or not, Priscilla and Kristina were texting with my husband nonstop until we knew. Once at the hospital, I was having a difficult time coping with the pain until Priscilla arrived and I felt so much relief to have her by my side. She calmed my nerves by helping me breathe, massaging me, and making sure I pushed correctly when it was time. I could not imagine doing it without her! Our postpartum visit was also extremely helpful and put our minds at ease about newborn life. I would absolutely hire Priscilla for a second pregnancy, and would feel comfortable doing it at home next time. 

I have had the pleasure of birthing with Patti herself 3 times and once with her assitant Doula. 

Patti has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Her calm yet confident demeanor brings a sense of comfort in such a vulnerable moment as a woman. Patti has always been there for me with all of my pregnancies and birth. She answers every text and genuinely cares about the wellbeing of mother and child. 

My last pregancy my labor was going very slow at home. Patti however advised that I may have been further along than I had thought and advised me to get to the hospital to get checked out. I was having very irregular contractions, but she was right! I was in active labor already at 6cm! Patti was able to get my body in all the right positions to speed up my contractions. She is very skilled at getting baby positioned correctly. Her breathing techniques and massage therapist skills make laboring an experience verses a hurdle. Baby girl was born just a few hours after we arrived to the hospital - safe and healthy!

All 4 of my births were able to be delivered naturally, in the hospital, with no complications. For that I am eternally grateful to Patti. She is kind and truly passionate about what she does. We love Patti!

My experience and journey with JacQue as my Birthworker Doula was phenomenal!! I had no clue or knowledge on Birth, Labor or nothing else but she educated and prepared us on everything from start to finish. Also providing me with helpful resources that made my experience much easier and less stressful. Thanks for all that you've done and continue to do!!
