I cannot express enough how amazing Jocilyn is. My original doula was unable to attend the birth due to a medical emergency, and Jocilyn stepped in as a substitute doula. (What a happy accident for me!) She met me at the hospital and immediately put my anxieties at ease. She was calming, attentive, present, helpful, knowledgable, and encouraging for me and my partner.
The moments that stick with me most are when I received an epidural - it was an awful experience and looking back I think I was having a panic attack throughout. The only reason I was able to get through that was because of Jocilyn's support. The second moment was right after my son was born - he was rushed away for being born "stunned." Jocilyn talked me thorugh those long minutes, reassured me and held my hand. I am forever grateful. She's also been an invaluable resource for me postpartum. I will NEVER be having children in the future without her by my side!
