Jenn was a wonderful presence at the birth of our first child. My husband and I recently moved to Colorado from the Midwest, so we had few friends or family members to support us during the birth. It made a world of difference to have Jenn available to answer any questions we had in the weeks before my labor and for many weeks after. During my labor and delivery, Jenn stayed with me for more than 14 hours, from my arrival at the hospital to my transfer to a recovery room after the birth. In addition to her wealth of knowledge about pregnancy, labor, recovery, and newborn care, Jenn has an incredibly calm and supportive energy that created an atmosphere of positivity and strength that I needed during my labor. Working with her in the weeks after the birth, Jenn made it a point to check in on the mental health of both me and my husband, making sure we feel supported and empowered to provide the best care for our new baby.

Discovering I was pregnant at the young age of 19 in January of 2023 was a daunting realization, as it wasn't part of my immediate plans. Uncertainty clouded my thoughts, but I knew I needed guidance regardless of the decision my partner and I made. That's when Jenn stepped in. From the onset of my pregnancy journey, Jenn provided unwavering support, extending beyond childbirth. She offered exceptional advice on nutrition, prepared me for the birthing process, and most importantly, empathized with my emotional journey, understanding my desires for both myself and my child. During labor, Jenn remained a constant presence, offering guidance through every step. From walking the hospital corridors to assisting with pain relief methods and ensuring optimal posture through breathing techniques. Her swift response to my hospital admission due to preeclampsia exemplified her dedication. After 11 hours of labor and 14 minutes of pushing, my beautiful daughter entered the world, and any apprehensions about being a young, first-time mother faded in that moment of pure connection. Jenn's reassuring words were a beacon of strength throughout, reminding me of my capabilities even in moments of doubt. Reflecting on my birthing experience, I am filled with gratitude for Jenn's support. I wholeheartedly endorse her as an exceptional doula, and I am grateful for the opportunity to relive that transformative journey in my mind because of her.
