Testimonial for Joli Ammons
From the moment my husband and I first met Joli, we knew that she was the doula for us. We loved her friendly, easy going, nonjudgmental style and appreciated her willingness to share resources and information (even before we'd committed to hiring her!). She's well connected in the birth community and is an absolute wealth of information! Joli helped us craft a thorough birth plan, challenging us to think about scenarios and issues that we'd not considered previously. We even received compliments about the plan and its contents from our labor and delivery nurses! Joli was readily available by phone, text, and email from the time we hired her to well beyond delivery. Joli was by my side as I recovered from emergency abdominal surgery and 24 hours of preterm labor at 33 weeks (while my husband was out of the country!), and she supported us again when delivery day arrived 7 weeks later. Joli assisted us through several hours of unmedicated labor, and she was with us in the recovery room, helping us get started with breastfeeding, after a placental abruption created the need for an emergency C-section. I highly recommend hiring a doula to anyone who is on the fence about doing so, and I wholeheartedly recommend Joli to fill that role for you. She's an absolute gem!
