Testimonial for Jenn Smith, HBCE, CPD(DONA), CD(DONA)
Jenn is an amazing doula! She is the reason I had a natural birth. Her support and comfort measures made the world of a difference. Jenn came to my house when my contractions started to be difficult to manage - just having her there was therapeutic. She has such a calm, relaxed presence. She brought essential oils and used accupressure points and massage to help me during labor. She gave us suggestions for positions to try. She was a wonderful guide to help us know when it was time to go to the hospital. She stayed with me over 24 hours during my labor and birth and didn't complain once :)
While I feel like Jenn was crucial for me, my husband argues that she was even more crucial for him. She gave him ideas and directed him in ways to help me. She gave him breaks from massaging me and putting pressure on my hips. She let him take a nap while she stayed with me. After the birth, my husband said, "Can she be at our next birth, too?"
We took the Hynobirthing classes with Jenn also, which were so helpful. She taught us so much about birth and how to relax during labor. I am so happy that I chose Jenn to be my doula and I've already told her that she MUST be at my next birth!
