Joli has been a part of our family since our second child was born. She assisted our birth mom in her delivery and it was an incredible experience. Shortly before our daughter was born we found out that we were pregnant even though we had been told that it was not possible. We immediately hired Joli to help us with our pregnancy. My wife wanted a VBAC since our first child was born via an unplanned and forced c-section. Joli was there every step of the way and helped educate us on our options. My wife wanted an unmedicated birth, but I wasn't so sure how that would go and we had trouble finding an OB who would help us. Joli got us in contact with the right hospitals and doctors! When the day finally arrived, I was actually out of town. Joli played a HUGE roll in making sure my wife got to the hospital safely. Once I arrived, she was already in full on doula mode- essential oils, massage, walking...she really helped me feel at ease with the process. When my wife got stressed or upset, Joli was there to step in. I worked hard to be my wife's birth coach, but Joli helped to direct me which took a lot of pressure off. In the end, my wife attained the birth she wanted and we couldn't be happier to have had Joli by our side. To this day, we are still in contact with her.
