Testimonial for Jenn Carlson, CD, PPD, IES
Jenn is fantastic, I cannot recommend her highly enough! First of all, she is extremely knowledgeable about the birthing process. I am a first time mom and was very nervous about the whole process, but Jenn's confidence and experience helped me to feel much more at ease, both when i was at home and in the hospital.
Second, she loves what she is doing. You can see that this is her passion and not just business. She will be there for you as long as you need her and will be happy to help in al possible ways.
My labor was long and started to get exhausting, so I started considering having an epidural. Jenn gave me a confidence that I can continue with a non-medicated birth and she used a variety of pain management techniques (rebozo, suggesting to take a shower, advising how to breath etc) to help me through the process. As a result I was able to have a non-medicated birth as I originally planned. I know for sure that I wouldn't be able to do it without her. She never imposed any decisions on me, but instead empowered me and helped to manage the pain.
After I gave birth, Jenn came to visit us at home and once againg was extremely helpful with her advice on breasfeeding, postpartum period and many other things I had questions about. I thought I read a lot of books and already knew most of the information, but Jenn opened my eyes on many more things and also helped to reduce my level of anxiety about new experiences.
If you are considering hiring a doula, Jenn is a fantastic choice. I would definitely recommend her to any mother-to-be. You can count on having her by your side and being your best advocate!
