Testimonial for Dana Oakes-Sand AS, CCE, MCD, NMPP, IPES
Jessica Brown was my doula. It is hard for me to express how grateful I am for her service. I was hesitant at first to hire a doula, but decided to because it was my first pregnancy and my husband and I wanted to have someone there who knew what was going on. Jessica was absolutely phenomenal from day one. She came for prenatal visits and walked us through our birth plan. She made sure we knew our options, but also was supportive of any decision we made. When I was in labor, she came as soon as I asked, and jumped right in timing contractions, helping me walk around, and using pressure and heat packs on my back (since I had painful lack labor). At the hospital, Jessica was a stronghold for both me and my husband. I had a rough delivery and I honestly don’t know what we would have done without Jessica. Her support and encouragement prevented me from having a c-section. My baby almost died right after delivery, but by the way Jessica was acting so calm, I didn’t panic or worry. Jessica stayed until my baby was stable and we got transferred to another hospital. She came to visit us again at the hospital and after we had come home. She also made herself available for any questions I had after delivery (which was plenty!). I highly recommend Jessica to anyone, whether it’s a first pregnancy or not. You will not be disappointed.
