Testimonial for Jin Moon
Looking back on my pregnancy, labor, and birth, there were a million and one things that were unpredictable but the one certainty we had was the loving support of Jin. First of all, they are an incredibly kind, empathetic, and spirited human, never failing to offer sincere, non-judgmental, and gentle encouragement at every point. Jin supported us intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and resource-wise through a major decision when we shifted our birth plan from a hospital setting to a birth center experience. They helped me work through the fears that came up with this choice and lean into courage on our own terms. Their guidance made it more possible for me and my partner to identify our values more clearly and live out our intentions for my birth. Whenever we had curiosities, questions, or random concerns that popped up, Jin always made it safe for us to express them openly without fear of anything seeming too trivial or ridiculous to ask as first time parents. It was so easy and effortless to work together that by the time I was in labor, my partner and I totally and completely felt safe and cared for in Jin's presence. During active labor, Jin was locked in and there with us every step of the way (e.g. feeding us, hydrating us, on their hands and knees, counterpressure massages, responsive for every contraction, guiding my partner, cooling me down when I overheated, offering affirmations every single time I felt like I couldn't do it anymore, providing ideas, holding barf bags, etc.). Honestly, I'm not sure how I would've made it through a spontaneous unmedicated birth after a super long labor without Jin being there right by our side. Truly, we are so grateful for Jin and our baby girl is so lucky to have entered the world knowing love, constancy, and tenderness in this way.
