Jenn was an incredible post-partum doula. She gave me the care, confidence, empathy and love that I needed as a first time mom. She has a wonderful bedside manner and treats you and your baby with the best care possible. We used her for the first 4 months of my daughter's life and I was so sad when we said goodbye to her. She became part of the family! She taught me so many wonderful ways to care for my baby and I'm grateful to her for that.

Jen Dodd worked with us two nights per week for three months after our triplets came home from the NICU. She was an invaluable resource and support for my husband and me. Her caring and capable demeanor always made us feel comfortable asking her any question, and we completely trusted her with our precious newborns. I looked forward to her visits, not only because I would get a little more sleep, but also because we felt so confused and overwhelmed, and she helped us to manage schedules, figure out baby behavior, and take care of ourselves. We would recommend Jen to any new parents, but especially parents of multiples.

Jennifer was a key part in our family getting up and running with our first child. We had the utmost trust in Jennifer with our baby and in the creative ideas and expertise she would give us as new parents. It always felt good to have her in our home. We'd recommend her Doula work to anyone!

We hired Jennifer when our daughter was 3 weeks old.  She started as our night-time Doula and eventually became our part-time day doula until our daughter was 6 months old.

Jennifer brought us incredible peace of mind and taught us a great deal about how to care for our daughter as we were first time parents.  We had utmost confidence in her as she was dependable, reliable and great with the baby.  We never had any issues or concerns and trusted her completely.

I highly recommend Jennifer as we are likely to use her services again if the opportunity arises.

 Jennifer helped us with our infant twins. She was always on time, utterly reliable-despite wretched winter weather, always in good humor, and wonderful with the kids. Her support, when I was struggling with new mom stuff, was very grounded and sincere. Jennifer's awesome!
