Testimonial for Angela Jenks, PD CD
I found Inspire Doula Services after searching for “VBAC doula near me.” At first, I was skeptical because all the reviews were five stars—but after my first call, I immediately understood why. Angela shared so much valuable information upfront without asking for a contract or payment. She even said, “Even if you don’t choose me, I just want you to have a safe and memorable experience this time.” That genuine care stood out, especially since my first pregnancy had been difficult.
I was unsure about trying a VBAC and only decided halfway through my pregnancy. By then, her rates had changed, but she honored the previous year’s pricing. She was like a “pregnancy Wikipedia”—every question I had, she had resources and guidance ready.
As my due date approached with no labor signs, I was nervous about induction and another C-section. She encouraged me, shared testimonials from other women, and reminded me not to lose hope. She also recommended natural remedies like acupuncture, raspberry leaf tea, and dates. After two acupuncture sessions, contractions began. She stayed on standby, updated my midwives, and arrived at the hospital within 10 minutes at 6 cm dilation.
Her calm presence and guidance helped me stay strong during pushing, and I delivered my baby girl without an epidural. She stayed with my husband for two hours afterward, helping with skin-to-skin and newborn care, and even took photos of our first moments while we were busy with the baby.
She visited twice at home postpartum, patiently listening to my concerns and providing guidance. I cannot recommend Angela enough for anyone looking to hire a doula—she made my VBAC journey safe, empowering, and magical.
This version is concise, polished, and still personal, perfect for a website or review submission.
