Jordan was a referral from my cousin, and although I spoke with other doulas, after my first conversation with Jordan, my husband and I knew she would be the perfect fit for us. From start to finish Jordan was of great assistance for this new Mom. Speaking with her put me at ease and helped to alleviate the anxiety I felt particularly about delivery. She was available, by phone and/or email to answer any questions that arose pre/post delivery.
Unfortunately, when I gave birth Jordan was not able to be with me because another client went into labor just before me. When signing our contract with Jordan, and I imagine with any other doula, there is a clause about this very scenario and sending someone as a proxy. The possibility of two women going into labor at the same time is always something that must be considered. Jordan sent anoher doula, Elizabeth, on her behalf who was truly lovely. Although Jordan could not be at my bedside during the delivery, she was in constant contact with Elizabeth and was provided up to date information about my progress. The transition was not scary and seemed rather seamless.
After Jordan finished up with her other client she rushed from wherever she was to the hospital where I was. We spoke about the delivery, what I was feeling, and additional resources that may be helpful to me. Although all the information did not sink in at the time, there was a follow up visit to my house where we fully debriefed about my experience. She also provided pointers. Even after Jordan's services had concluded I have been able to contact her with any questions that may arise as I adjust to being a new Mom and the various "things" that may pop up.
I would highly recommned Jordan!
