Working with Jaimie was very relaxing and empowering. I did a natural birth for my first child with just me and my husband that went very well. However, within 18 months after my first child was born, I had lost 2 babies due to miscarriage. This left me with a lot of anxiety and questions about my ability to go through the birth process on my own. Jaimie met with me before my due date to hear my concerns and what was important to me. She also gave me some tips to stay mentally encouraged through the process. When the day off the birth came, she was a gentle and calming presence. After being in the hospital for several hours and then having labor stop, she really helped me not be discouraged and make good decisions to take our time and stay calm and patient. She also helped me to better understand the options the doctors were giving me and what the side effects could be from the different choices. It gave me a lot of peace to have her there beside me, and she was also very respectful of when my husband wanted to be involved and when he wanted a break. She always seemed to have the right thing to say to either get my mind off of things or to help my focus on the positive things that were happening for me and my baby. I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself and worry too much and I can say that having Jaimie there with me during the birthing process helped me stay more calm and relaxed. I was very grateful to have her there and she took an area in my life that had become very stressful and filled with fear and helped me go through it with strength and calm. When I look back on that day, I remember feeling loved and supported and it was a great celebration to finally meet my healthy baby girl
