Working with Jenica was one of the best decisions we made during my pregnancy and birth. Long before labor began, she was already an incredible source of support. During our prenatal visits, she patiently taught me and my husband Spinning Babies exercises and showed us how to practice them correctly at home. Thanks to her guidance, our baby flipped head-down before delivery — something I am so grateful for!
When labor finally came, everything unfolded quickly and with far more pain and uncertainty than I expected. My epidural wasn’t effective, and the intensity of everything happening at once was overwhelming. Through all of it, Jenica was steady, calm, and deeply present. She helped ground me and provided so many tools to help me cope — including a TENS unit, birthing comb, and pressure ball. She was also crucial in helping me try different positions and gave me confidence and reassurance when the nurse I was assigned was very new and uncertain.
Jenica stayed with us through my entire 19 hours of labor. She talked me through every phase, supported both me and my husband, and never once left us feeling alone. When labor stopped progressing and I developed a fever and the baby’s heart rate began to decelerate — leading to an urgent C-section — she remained a calm, comforting presence. Even as plans shifted and nothing felt predictable, she made sure we felt cared for, informed, and supported.
I truly cannot imagine going through that experience without her. Jenica made an incredibly difficult birth feel manageable, and she supported me from pregnancy all the way through delivery with compassion and expertise. I am endlessly grateful for the way she showed up for our family.
