Meredith and Jillian make a great team! My husband and I found our prenatal meetings very helpful and insightful. I’m grateful for their endless communication leading up to birth. I had many false alarms with prodromal labor that made the last few weeks of pregnancy very stressful. They were a source of encouragement, reassurance, and comfort for our family, especially for myself. Forever grateful for their support and making my second birth a memorable and good experience despite being very different from my first birth experience.

Jenell was so phenomenal to work with! My husband and I decided we wanted to find a doula about a month before our due date. Jenell's profile jumped out at me because of her previous work in a health care facility. After a phone and in-person interview, we decided to move forward. Our first prenatal visit was at our home and we talked about how we envisioned the birth of our daughter and chatted through preferences. This was a helpful process as it brought up a number of things I hadn't considered at that point. Jenell and I kept in touch via text as my due date approached. I ended up going into labor a week and a half early. When my water broke, Jenell helpfully told me I could take my time getting to the hospital since I didn't have any contractions at that point. In triage, she reminded me that I wanted to labor in the bathtub which was very helpful as I had omitted that from memory after hearing I was 4cm dilated! Jenell provided comfort as I labored in the tub, offering some peppermint oil when I felt nauseous and helping guide me through the contractions. Her gentle voice was so calming and I know she also put my husband at ease. It was truly a team of three getting through early labor and transition. Because of her, I felt comfortable being in the tub longer, and ended up being fully dilated before my epidural. Jenell helped me understand what would be happening as we transitioned into pushing which made me feel much more at ease and in control. She was such an awesome coach and supporter for both me and my husband during the final stretch. She stayed with us after we got settled with baby and we stayed in touch via text until our post-partum visit a week or two after birth. She brought notes on the birth and we talked through it during our visit. It was so nice to walk through everything again and process the birth together. I highly recommend Jenell ... she's informed, open-minded, calming and helped make our birthing process an amazing one!

Maria was an essential part of my birth experience with my first child. Maria devoted so much time to me and my needs during our prenatal meetings and even visited extra when I went a week over my due date. She brings her extensive training, resources, yoga expertise, and breastfeeding knowledge to pre and post partum visits. In the delivery room, Maria worked seamlessly with the midwife and nurse team. She always had a calm presence, but also brought strength and authority. And to top it off, she is SO organized: she took excellent notes during labor/delivery, was very proactive with scheduling meetings throughout pregnancy, checked in regularly, and just generally ran her business with such smoothness. This is not to be undersestimated when you have so much going on as a pregnant person!
