Testimonial for Jennifer Mendelson
From the moment we interviewed "Doula J" we clicked. We were looking for a doula who would support both of us through the birth, be open to use of medication, and who had a style that combined direct and nurturing. Jennifer is all that and more. She met with us before the birth to learn more about our expectations, desires and fears. As the due date approached, she checked in frequently, giving great encouragement and support. Her presence during labor was incredible and invaluable. She was front and center when appropriate, and hung back and let us focus when appropriate. Her suggestions for ways to cope with the contractions and gentle reminders of what we'd discussed ahead of time were always right on. She was warm, funny when we needed funny, and strong when we needed strong. She connected immediately with the friends who were there with us, and helped them help us get through it all. It was a joy to have her there with us at our daughter's birth, and the experience wouldn't have been the same without her. She was a key part of the "village" that welcomed our daughter into the world. Her followup visit and advice were also invaluable. Jennifer is an incredible doula and great role model mom. We were lucky to have found her and recommend her highly.
