Testimonial for Jeannie Baron CD/BDT(DONA), Dip CBEd (CBI), BRM™ Pro
When I was pregnant with my first son a friend of mine recommended getting a doula to my husband and I. We had never heard of a doula and the best part of their description was "they help to keep things in perspective". They highly recommended Jeannie and we figured we could use all the help we could get. Jeannie was there to coach my husband and I through the birth of both of our sons and that description could have been more fitting. She was able to coach me and motivate me during the toughest moments of labour and when I doubted that I could do it she assured me I could. As supportive as she was for me she was equally supportive for my husband. My husband was just as happy to have Jeannie there with us as I was. While its obvious that labour is very hard on women I don't think most men are prepared to see the woman they love in so much pain and feel helpless. She helped him understand how to support me. Jeannie is such a positive, caring person. She has a very calm demeanor which was so helpful in the labour room. I had hoped for a natural birth but reazlied that that might not be possible. She had lots of great labour techniques to help me manage the pain naturally. Before the actual labour we met with her a few times. She made sure to talk us through different decisions that could arise during the labour and understood what we did and did not want. It really helped to understand the different options and situations that could arise. In the days after both our sons were born Jeannie checked in and provided breast feeding support. It was helpful since she came to our house and I didn't have to head out with the baby. I would recommend Jeannie to anyone in a heartbeat.
