Testimonial for Jet City Doulas
From the moment we connected with Jet City Doulas, we felt understood, dignified, and deeply cared for. As a queer couple, navigating pregnancy and birth in a healthcare system that often centers cisnormative, heteronormative, and fatphobic standards can be incredibly alienating. But with Katie, Mariah, and Jen, we felt completely seen, affirmed, and safe. They honored our family structure, used inclusive language, and approached every interaction with warmth, curiosity, and deep compassion.
The classes they offered were incredibly helpful—not only informative, but empowering. They gave us practical tools and the confidence we needed as first-time parents. We went into birth feeling prepared, competent, and grounded, which made a world of difference.
When our birth plan shifted and we had a cesarean, their support became even more crucial. They helped us navigate the medical system with clarity and calm, ensured our choices were honored, and reminded us that this birth—our birth—was powerful and valid. In an environment that could have felt clinical or disempowering, they helped us stay connected to each other and to the sacredness of our story.
After birth, their care was just as tender and consistent—checking in, offering resources, and helping us process the experience in a way that felt both healing and empowering.
Jet City Doulas didn’t just show up for the birth—they showed up for us. They held space for our queer family in all its complexity and joy, and stood beside us as advocates in a system that often erases or minimizes people like us. If you're seeking doulas who will honor your identity, affirm your body, prepare you with excellent education, and fiercely protect your right to be fully you in birth—Jet City Doulas is who you want by your side.
