Testimonial for Joli Ammons
When I first considered using a doula to help me with my childbirth experience, I wasn’t sure that my reasons for wanting one were on point with the service they provide. I really wanted someone to advocate for and help educate my husband and me about our childbirth options. I knew I wanted to give birth in a hospital and get an epidural. I was a little self conscious that I might get judgment for not wanting a completely natural birth. but Joli never once made me feel judged. Joli made me feel confident in my decisions by helping and discussing my options to determine what was best for us.
The most important thing to me when narrowing down our doula options was to pick someone I knew my husband felt comfortable around. We felt right at home with Joli from the very first meet and greet. We talked about her doula services and then just sat and chatted to get to know each other. She really came to mean so much more to us than just a labor support professional – she is a good friend we are so grateful to have involved in our child’s birth. I can honestly say that our birth went almost completely to plan and we were so happy with our experience. Joli played a critical role to help educate us, relax me during labor and push for my needs. In the hospital, Joli was great about reminding me of what I wanted, but also reminded me it was ok if our plans needed to change. She really helped to ensure nurses were following our birth plan as closely as possible, without being pushy.
All in all, I would recommend Joli to anyone wanting a down to earth, highly knowledgeable and overall loveable friend to include in their birthing experience.
Thanks so much Joli!
