Joceyln and Autumn were amazing! From the initial meeting to the last postnatal visit I felt supported, taken care of, and so grateful to have them as part of our team. Jocelyn was our doula during the birth and was absolutely critical in helping me have a successful unmedicated birth. Her presence was calm and relaxed, but absolutely present, and assertive when she needed to be. She was so helpful in helping my husband help me during the entire process. I also appreciated that she's very knowledgeable about the current research about interventions, alternatives, etc.
A few days after the birth I was having some struggles with breastfeeding. Autumn came to my house the same day, on a Sunday night. During that time our baby ended up having her second full on meltdown for two hours, crying inconsolably. I cannot even tell you how helpful it was to have Autumn there to tell me I was doing a good job, that I was doing it "right" - and that sometimes babies just cry even when you're doing everything you can. She was a lifesaver that night. I would absolutely recommend Ohana - Jocelyn and Autumn as doulas and will definitely use them again in the future with baby #2.
