Testimonial for Joli Ammons
Joli was a fantastic resource for our birthing experience. During the birth plan development, she provided excellent research for us to use in educating ourselves as we formulated our preferences and acted as a sounding board for us as we evaluated tradeoffs of options.
We chose Joli in large part because of her easy, approachable manner. She is someone I knew that I would feel comfortable discussing the most intimate of matters without judgment. At the end of the day, you want to select a doula who you can develop a trusting relationship with, and who can help you be an advocate for yourself, bringing a stronger voice to preferences that might be otherwise drowned out in a hospital setting.
Unfortunately, as my water broke nearly 4 wks before my due date and my son was still in breech position, I ended up with a very quick emergency c-section, and was not able to put to use the birth plan we developed.
Still, the discussions we had about the birth helped prepare me mentally for what was ahead and be more confident and knowledgeable about my various scenarios going into the birth. We would highly recommend Joli as an incredibly value member of any birth team.
