From the moment I met Joli, I knew she was going to be AWESOME and that's exactly what she was! She is extremenly easy to talk to and has a wealth of knowledge ranging from the birth process to various pain management and relaxation methods using essential oils. She answered every question I had and addressed my every concern. She was very thorough and really took the time to learn what my ideal birth plan would look like. Unfortunately, my birth didn't go as expected (they seldom do) due to high blood pressure, so I was admitted into the hospital a week early for what turned out to be several induction methods. I was there for eight days, what felt like an eternity, and she was with me every step of the way. She even held my hand during the most difficult procedures. She also served as my photographer/filmer during the precious moments right after the birth of my son. She took awesome footage that I will cherish for a lifetime and captured the expression on my dad's face when he met his grandson. My husband feels indebted to Joli as well for all the ways she helped him too. Joli was not only my doula, she also became my friend. I went to her after my birth to get a new "do" and she does fabulous hair too! And she even did my belly cast which was really cool! She's funny, smart, creative, caring, dedicated, and a whole lot of fun! I would highly recommend hiring Joli as your doula!
