I cannot recommend Jessica enough! I am a first time mom, writing this 4 weeks postpartum. Honestly, I was originally torn on whether or not I needed to get a doula. But wow, I am so happy that we had Jessica with us for labor and delivery!

Jessica was supportive of my goals for a natural, unmedicated birth. My labor was long and Jessica really helped me with what positions to do and was very encouraging throughout. She also sought to understand my husband’s goals for birth and empowered him to coach me throughout labor. It was great to meet with her before birth and then again after I delivered to debrief about the experience.

I delivered at a hospital but beforehand I was nervous on whether they would push for unnecessary medical intervention. I like that Jessica also had experience with home births and birth center births. Because I had such a great team (Jessica and my husband) coaching me, I feel like the nurses and hospital staff trusted us to go through labor without getting too involved. When decisions about my care came up, Jessica talked with my husband and I to ensure we understood the options and reminded us of our goals. Again, labor was very tough and exhausting. I honestly feel like I would not have been able to meet my goals if it wasn’t for Jessica. She has more of a gentle and steady persona so if you want someone that is more like a military sergeant/coach, Jessica is probably not your girl. She was assertive when she needed to be but for the most part, I really appreciated her calm and reassuring demeanor during labor.

I truly was thanking God for Jessica after delivering my first daughter and I am eternally grateful to her for her support. I will remember her forever as a beautiful part of the birth story. Hire her! You will not regret it!

We hired Jessica to be our doula and both my husband and I can't imagine what our experience would have been like without her. She provided reassurance and calm to my husband and was hands on in helping me find positions I could labor in and demonstrated a lot of endurance and strength in supporting me. She is an excellent communicator, nurturing presence, and fantastic under the pressures and intensity of labor. 100% recommend Jessica!!

I am a first time mom, and gave birth at a birthing center with Jessica Wilson as my Doula. I highly reccomend  working with Jessica! She brought a calm, peaceful, strong, and supportive presence to my birth. She listened well to me, and responded to what I needed to make sure we followed my birth plan. She also provided massage and counter pressure exactly where I needed it to help me rest between contractions. 

My partner and I were both blown away by how easily Jessica is able to be present at the pace I needed. We discussed my preferences for birth ahead of time, and she was skilled at honoring my desire to have a quiet birth environment without unneccesary talking. The words she chose were what I needed to hear and supported my partner and I well.

Jessica is also very responsive and kind over text and phone. It was also so wonderful to have Jessica to text as a first time mom, in the lead up to the birth, as I experienced body changes and wondered about when labor would start.

Having Jessica at my delivery was an unexpected blessing! My baby came 4 weeks early &  my mom couldn't attend as planned,  so Jessica volunteered to help me instead.  She showed up for me with no qualms or delays. She came with a blanket of calmness & support that did not compromise her efficiency in the slightest. It being my first delivery,  I needed someone to let me know that it was alright to do things differently than what the nurses were saying,  or to help me understand the pros and cons of certain choices I was being asked to make (epidural, for instance). Jessica's clear & unbiased answers are much appreciated in a time when making decisions is already fraught. She helped me turn as needed, massaged me to help ease my pains, held my hand through it all and even cut the cord! She was even waiting to help me after an emergency surgery to remove my retained placenta. She only left once she was satisfied that my LO & i were settled in with no issues and comfortable.

As I said at the beginning, Jessica's presence was an unexpected but much appreciated blessing at my delivery!

We met Jessica when my baby is a newborn. I liked her at the first instance but my fondness grew with time. She took good care of my baby and soothed him well. My baby was so comfy with her. Jessica never sits idle when working. She even made me healthy snacks. I would definitely recommend Jessica for any new mother
