Testimonial for Jessica Mascher
Jessica Mascher is an amazing doula. At every appointments she was professional, answered our questions with thoughtfulness (one of which "was what does a doula do?!"), encouraged us to make informed decisions, provided resources and intuitively understood what we needed throughout our pregnancy. This carried over to the birth as well. I had the stressful experience of having to be transfered from a birth center to a hospital and I could not have had the birth I did without her help. My personal goal was to have a natural birth, but more than that, to have an experience of which I could be proud. Throughout the transitions, Jessica remained extremely calm and helped me to stay strong, not giving in to fear and stress. She coached me through my labor and was a support to my husband, guiding him through her actions and providing him with breaks. Jessica understands the different parts of labor: she knew I was in active labor, when I was transitionning and when it was time for me to push. She was a huge support when I needed to be advocated for (dialation checked, interference with the doctor, etc.) and she intervened for me without hesitation, dealing with healthcare professionals so that I could focus on labor and also follow my birth plan. Without her help, confidence and strenght I would not be as proud of my birth story as I am. On top of everything, Jessica is super fun. I recommend her without hesitation.
