Testimonial for Jenn Carlson, CD, PPD, IES
My husband and I selected Jenn as our Doula for several reasons: (1) she provided us with the most comprehensive set of information about childbirth and her role in the process, (2) she had quite a bit of experience working with women who wanted to have a natural, unmedicated delivery in the hospital setting and (3) her familiarity with hypnobirthing as a pain management tool. Jenn was able to provide specific answers to our questions and seemed very knowledgable on a variety of child birth topics. During the pre-natal consultations, she walked us through the labor process, demonstrated useful techniques with the rebozo, provided feedback on our birth plan and answered all of our questions. I had a relatively quick delivery (labored at home for 12-14 hours and went straight to labor and delivery) however she was present for the final hours and provided valuable support both to me and my husband which helped us to have the birth experience for which we had planned. During the post natal visit, she provided breastfeeding support and encouragement and also answered our questions about infant care during the early days. She is a sympathetic listener who provided us with practical guidance throughout every step of the process. I would recommend Jenn for anyone looking for an experienced and supportive doula for their birthing process.
