Testimonial for Jocelyn Alt
I have no doubt that Jocelyn Alt made my natural childbirth possible. It is hard to actaully know, but I felt so much more confident when it all started happening because she was there to explain what was hapening and things to consider. She was available in the morning when my water broke. She calm, knowledgeable, and super thoughtful once we arrived at the hospital and she knew when to give us privacy.
Often you wonder if having a doula will mean that you trade an intimacy with your husband, but she was a support to both of us. My husband was there 110%, but he could not have done it without someone to coach him too! I loved being able to take walks and have conversations in the early labor and then have someone be able to run out and take care of errands when there was time and I wanted some rest time with my husband. It is remarkable to be able to have some there that has been through so many other births - the nurses and doctors are not (they are in and out). Jocelyn made the whole process feel less intimating and she helped us navigate the tough decisions. I will be forever grateful to Jocelyn's gift as a suppotive doula and I am now a strong advocate for doula services to any woman.
