Testimonial for Jocelyn Alt
Jocelyn is a phenomenal doula! I delivered my firstborn with Jocelyn by my side, and it was an absolutely beautiful experience. I had a water birth without any medication, and our baby girl arrived at a whopping 9 lb 9 oz! I could never have done that without the support of a doula!! Having Jocelyn there meant I didn't have to remember every little thing from our birthing class. It freed me to fully focus on my body and the task at hand, and freed my husband to just be there for me as emotional support.
Jocelyn is a sweetheart. She has a very calming and reassuring presence, and from the moment she showed up, she had this natural ability to put me at ease. She also had a knack for knowing just what I needed and when, without me having to ask -- an awesome trait in a doula. She brought lotion for massaging my feet (a blessed diversion in triage!), and when the really rough contractions hit, she was right in my ear, quietly offering these great directives to help me relax through the pain. Jocelyn also worked really well with the other members of my birth team, intentionally making space for my mom and my husband to feel helpful as well. My mom had never heard of a doula-supported birth before, and now she can't stop raving about it.
I couldn't be happier with my birth experience. I highly recommend Jocelyn!
