Testimonial for Jocilyn Verham
I can't say enough good things about Jocilyn. She was a last minute substitute for my original Doula, so I met her as I was already induced and starting labor. From the moment she walked in, she had a smile and magnetic, positive energy that put me at ease. She came prepared with tricks and tools (fairy lights, suggestions for movement, etc) that I would have thought she had done this hundreds of times. She was incredibly knowledgeable and confident, which put me at ease, so I could focus at the task at hand. She felt like a true partner and I really couldn't have asked for a better suited doula for me. I trusted that when I told her something that she would relay it to the medical staff in a kind, yet strong, way. I never had any doubts that she had my back and was going to get me through what turned into a very much unplanned 48 hour labor and emergency c-section. Throughout all my emotional and physical hurdles, she talked and walked me through and I am eternally grateful. My daughter was born on Christmas Eve, and as we were approaching Christmas Day, Jocilyn made it clear that even though she has a young child, she would be remaining by my side and they would celebrate Christmas when she got out. I still can't believe how kind and important that was to my mental stability, and luckily, it was a non issue!
