I found Jessica from a Christian Hynobirthing website and app that I chose to use for birth. This was my 4th child and I had never used a doula or anything and I ended up experiencing my dream birth and it was wonderful. Leading up to it I felt so confident because I had a support person/friend in Jessica. I didn't know what to expect hiring a double and she ended up being the person I talked to constantly about any fear, question or funny thoughts that would arise my whole pregnancy. She was like my personal hype girl all pregnancy and also during and after labor and delivery. She truly cared about me and my whole family. My husband trusted her and liked her and so did my kids. We met because she was my doula and I think I got a new friend out of it too;) If you're on the fence about hiring her, just do it. I'm very thankful I did!

We decided to find a doula because I had a lot of fear going into labor. When we found Jessica, right away we were drawn by her empathy and her ability to cut through a sea of information for us. As I practiced the exercises she recommended and learned more about what to expect during labor, I felt more at peace and confident as my due date approaches. But of course my baby decided to do anything but how we planned it to be. My labor ended up long, and Jessica, having just helped with another birth hours before, still showed up fully for me. She soothed me through each contraction. When the baby wasn't progressing much, she helped me in different birthing positions--some very humbling and demanded a lot of physical help. Jessica also worked well with the nurses to help progress the labor. In the end, though my labor was difficult (without complications), I had no fear in the process because I knew I was well cared for. I'm grateful to have worked with someone like Jessica who is highly attentive with a lot of birth experience. Now postpartum, I also know she's someone I can lean on when I just need a mama's support.

Jessica was truly a Godsend for our family. My husband and I are first time parents and originally had planned to skip hiring a doula for financial reasons. We later changed our minds, and wow I am so glad we did. Jessica was a calm, guiding voice amidst the unknowns of childbirth. She helped us to feel prepared, confident and at ease. I desired a drug free birth, and she helped me achieve that. She was our advocate and helped us keep the birth experience in line with our desires when hospital staff pushed for something different. And most importantly, she kept Christ at the center of this incredible opportunity we get to partner in creation with him. She turned the hospital labor & delivery room into a sanctuary where I felt calm and safe. We have absolutely zero regrets and recommend Jessica without hesitation to any parents, regardless of what type of birth they desire.

Jessica was a literal Godsend before, during, and after my 24 hour labor without an epidural. Anytime I felt like giving up during labor she was there to encourage me and tell me how well I was doing. She offered different techniques and positions, snacks, and music during my labor. She even helped hold my right leg suspended in the air while I was pushing and I'm pretty sure I may have kicked her in the face on accident but she didn't even mention it once. Lol. Afterwards, she checked in and still offers her support and guidance to this day during my windy postpartum journey. Words cannot express my unending gratitude for Jessica, but I would recommend her to anyone a thousand times over. We love Jessica and you will too!

I cannot recommend Jessica enough! She made my VBAC dreams come true. My first pregnancy ended with a traumatic unplanned C-section due to baby being in ‘sunny side’ position and after 3 hours of pushing not descending through my pelvis. Postpartum recovery was rough both mentally and physically. It was my dream to have a VBAC with my next pregnancy but I still had a lot of fear from my first labor experience. From the start of our relationship, Jessica heard me when I told her my fears about having a poorly positioned baby. She was great at helping me create a simple and clear birth plan that highlighted my values. The weeks leading up to my due date, Jessica made a point to check in with me and give me exercises to help get baby in the optimal position. My due date came and went and eventually I scheduled an induction at 41 weeks. Induction was not part of my plan but I felt confident knowing that I had Jessica there to support me. When Jessica arrived to our delivery room she got to setting up the ambience with lights and powerful words of encouragement. She guided me in exercises all focused on baby positioning. When labor started to pick up, she was there pushing on my back and reminding me to breathe and stay loose. I had a moment during labor when the pain brought back memories from my previous labor that I thought I was better off with a C-section . Jessica was there to listen and remind me of my strength. I continued to labor with an epidural and she continued supporting me by working with the labor nurses on my positioning. She was by my side with energy and excitement as I started pushing. I couldn’t believe it when I could feel the head of my baby crowning. Jessica filmed my birth and captured the moments beautifully. I am so grateful for her love and care.

Jessica, we cannot thank you enough for stepping into the Doula role so quickly and supporting us both through such an amazing birth experience. Especially the moment when my wife‘s past birth trauma came up unexpectedly, and you so lovingly coached us both through that to then feel more empowered and ready to welcome our baby in the way she wanted to. This birth was a dream come true for my wife and I and we have you to endlessly think – your calm energy, guidance, and warmth is a gift. Much love, The Ellensons.

From the start of our second pregnancy journey, Jessica's influence was transformative. As a husband, I watched my wife's previous uncertainties from our first pregnancy dissolve. That earlier experience had been marked by a lack of guidance, leading to choices we hadn't initially envisioned, like an induced and medicated birth.

Jessica's approach was distinctly different. Her dedication to her craft, evident through her continuous research and up-to-date knowledge, offered us a wealth of insights and techniques. What stood out was her innate ability to reassure and empower my wife, helping her rediscover the inherent strength every woman possesses during this profound journey.

With Jessica by our side, the contrast was palpable. Our second pregnancy was a celebration of natural processes and informed decisions. The culmination in a timely, unmedicated birth was testament to Jessica's invaluable support and expertise. As a grateful husband, I can't emphasize enough the positive impact she's had on our family's experience.

Working with Jessica from the start of my second pregnancy to finish, made all the difference in the world!! It was such a wonderful experience and so very different from my first pregnancy! She is truly something so very special… and I believe was born and called by god to help, support and guide women like myself through this transformational time of pregnancy, labor and birth. 
I came out of my first pregnancy feeling very defeated for having to be induced and medicated.. and looking back very uneasy over the care I received. There was no guidance at all from the drs and nurses throughout my whole pregnancy on the actual birth/labor process and then when it came time to deliver I was scared, nervous and had no idea what to expect. Attempting to go in with no information on what my body was capable of, zero preparation for labor and ultimately birth, was a recipe for induction and epidural. Two things I did not want. 
Working with Jessica opened my eyes to the amazing ability of my body and what I was truly born to do as a woman. She helped me through every insecurity I had and all the worries and fear that can inevitable pop up throughout this 9 month journey. I felt seen and supported. Unlike my first pregnancy, Jessica was there every step of the way with me and my husband. Providing us with information and techniques from her vast experience and studies, to best prepare ourselves for the big day. She also shared videos and content from her continued research and personal development in her craft. It’s just incredible how up to date she stays on the topic of pregnancy and birth. 
I could go on and on about how wonderful she is, but most importantly I will say that my second pregnancy which ended in on-time spontaneous labor and an unmedicated vaginal birth was nothing short of AMAZING and ALL because of Jessica’s support, love and care!
