Testimonial for Joli Ammons
Joli was our doula in September 2014. At first, we weren't sure that having a doula was the right choice for us. My husband and I are pretty independent and we thought that we could trudge through the birthing process on our own. After hearing about many other positive experiences our friends have had with doulas, we decided to give it a go. Joli came to us through the recommendation of a colleague. We interviewed her in the 11th hour (at 38 weeks) which made me a little bit anxious to be so late in the game with such a major decision up in the air. Joli was completely confident and incredibly accommodating -- we had to schedule all of our consults within a relatviely short amount of time but we did so with ease. Joli is a great communicator and facilitator. She was fully supportive of our birth plan and helped educate us about several issues that we had not previously considered or made decisions about. When it came to the birth itself, Joli was there when we needed her but also allowed me and my husband to experience the moment together as a couple. She was really good at hearing what we wanted out of the experience and then adjusting accordingly. I would highly recommend Joli to anyone who is considering a doula and I would also recommend her to anyone who is on the fence about a doula like we were -- I'm so glad we had her to support us throughout the birth!
