Testimonial for Jenny Corbett
Jenny is fantastic. She has a real passion for this work and is very down to earth and knowledgeable. We interviewed several doulas and felt most comfortable with Jenny, in part because we found her very easy to relate to. She is very professional and client-centered; we never felt like imposing her own views on what our birth should look like. Jenny is available by phone and email and is very responsive. On the night/morning I was in labor, she came to our house upon request and assisted us with comfort techniques and, most critically, helped us figure out when to go to the hospital. She came to the hospital with us and was fantastic in the room - she’s a very funny, lively person in normal conversation, but during labor she was absolutely calming and just a wonderful presence in the room. She deferred to us, let my husband lead the way and gave him breaks when he needed them. We couldn’t have been happier. Jenny is very knowledgeable about breastfeeding, newborns, etc, and she made herself available by phone/email to us for six weeks post-birth at any time day or night.
We can also highly recommend Jenny's placental encapsulation services. This takes about 1.5 hours for two days in a row and takes place in your home. She brought all her own equipment, etc, and made sure she wasn’t in the way, didn’t impose at all, etc.
Ultimately, our goal was a natural birth in a hospital setting and we couldn't have done it without Jenny. I look back on my birth experience and describe it to friends as "amazing" and "empowering" -- Jenny was a big part of that. I will forever be grateful for the role she played in bringing our daughter into the world in the most loving, peaceful environment possible.
You couldn't regret choosing Jenny as your doula.
