Post a testimonial for Jocilyn Verham
7/10/2026
I cannot express enough how amazing Jocilyn is. My original doula was unable to attend the birth due to a medical emergency, and Jocilyn stepped in as a substitute doula. (What a happy accident for me!) She met me at the hospital and immediately put my anxieties at ease. She was calming, attentive, present, helpful, knowledgable, and encouraging for me and my partner.
The moments that stick with me most are when I received an epidural - it was an awful experience and looking back I think I was having a panic attack throughout. The only reason I was able to get through that was because of Jocilyn's support. The second moment was right after my son was born - he was rushed away for being born "stunned." Jocilyn talked me thorugh those long minutes, reassured me and held my hand. I am forever grateful. She's also been an invaluable resource for me postpartum. I will NEVER be having children in the future without her by my side!

I cannot express how invaluable it was to have Jocilyn by my side during my birth experience. Before hiring her, I was feeling extremely anxious about birth. I really wanted a low-intervention experience but didn’t know where to turn or who I could trust to help me achieve that. Jocilyn was key to helping me feel in control and empowered during labor.
She was always professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and realistic. Jocilyn listened to all my concerns and even helped me connect with a new provider whose practice better aligned with my birth goals and care needs. I truly do not know what I would have done without her. When I was in the most pain, she was there with the tools I didn’t even know I needed. I loved that she was so inclusive of my husband. He was very committed to supporting me during labor, but wasn’t sure how. She taught him how to best support me and it made my birth very calm and manageable for both of us.
The birth of my first child is now one of my most cherished memories. It was such an empowering and pleasant experience. I couldn’t have dreamed that my first birth would go so well, and I credit Jocilyn for helping to make it such a special and positive experience. Now, Jocilyn still checks in on me postpartum, and I know I can count on her to point me in the right direction when questions or concerns arise. From prenatal to labor to postpartum, Jocilyn is your gal! I loved working with her and wholeheartedly recommend her to any expecting mom!

I can't say enough good things about Jocilyn. She was a last minute substitute for my original Doula, so I met her as I was already induced and starting labor. From the moment she walked in, she had a smile and magnetic, positive energy that put me at ease. She came prepared with tricks and tools (fairy lights, suggestions for movement, etc) that I would have thought she had done this hundreds of times. She was incredibly knowledgeable and confident, which put me at ease, so I could focus at the task at hand. She felt like a true partner and I really couldn't have asked for a better suited doula for me. I trusted that when I told her something that she would relay it to the medical staff in a kind, yet strong, way. I never had any doubts that she had my back and was going to get me through what turned into a very much unplanned 48 hour labor and emergency c-section. Throughout all my emotional and physical hurdles, she talked and walked me through and I am eternally grateful. My daughter was born on Christmas Eve, and as we were approaching Christmas Day, Jocilyn made it clear that even though she has a young child, she would be remaining by my side and they would celebrate Christmas when she got out. I still can't believe how kind and important that was to my mental stability, and luckily, it was a non issue!
