Testimonial for Jennifer Richards CD(DONA), CLD, HCHD, CYBE

When I found out the doula that helped me with my first birth would be unavailable to help with my second, I was apprehensive and a little nervous about finding a new one who would do as wonderful of a job as the first. I had already talked with a few doulas before meeting with Jennifer, but within minutes of meeting her at Starbucks for the first time I knew she was the perfect person to help me bring my next baby into the world.  I really appreciate our connection as military spouses and think that even someone without that connection would benefit from the strength and patience that she expresses because of it.  I wanted a doula who would be a calm, supportive, physically and mentally strong presence and Jennifer is all of that and beyond. She was a constant support during the difficult last several weeks of my pregnancy and I couldn't have asked for her to have done a better job during the delivery, reading my cues, anticipating my needs, and providing much needed physical and emotional support all the way through. I am proud to say that I delivered a healthy, nine and a half pound baby boy after eight very hard hours of natural labor and I wouldn't have been able to do it without Jennifer there by my side.
