Testimonial for Jacquie Procopio, CPD, CLC
We had heard of a Postpartum Doula before, but had no idea what to expect
besides a good night’s rest and a person to care for our newborn son, Austin. We
hired Jacquie on a referral from another Doula for 2 weeks of Doula overnight
service, which later turned into almost three months! We consider her part of our
family.
Getting sleep is essential to any mom’s physical and mental recovery but what Jacquie
offered us as a family was more than a good night’s rest and a happy baby. Jacquie often
offered my husband and I research on questions about our baby to raise our awareness and
make choices on our baby’s care based on facts. Some of the research was from The World
Health Organization on sterilized formula feeding, other examples are the research she
presented on colic, second hand smoke and newborns, TV time and safe sleeping from The
American Academy of Pediatrics.
Jacquie also presented me evidence-based information on my physical and mental
recovery. She researched and presented options to aid in my recovery that ultimately lead
me to get help for my postpartum mood disorder and physical therapy for my birth
complications in hopes of avoiding another surgery. With information based research, she
helped my husband understated my postpartum anxiety. I don’t think I would be
overstating when I say that Jacquie helped keep my marriage intact and stronger than ever.
Jacquie is an amazing Doula, she not only cared for my newborn, she supported everyone in
the family, including me, my husband and my other son. Jacquie is kind, warm, and
energetic. She is knowledgeable, listens and communicates very well. She provides support,
researched based facts on newborns and postpartum mood disorders and judgement free
help with my recovery from birth.
