Testimonial for Joli Ammons
We had known Joli for a while before we ever got pregnant, and when we found out we were expecting, she was the first person we callled. She put us in touch with our midife and answered our millions of questions we had early on. I attended her birth education class at Rebel Birth and between the knowledge i gained there and Joli's advice, my first pregnancy was a breeze. I tru;y enjoyed all my meetings with Joli and she was always extremely flexible when it came to scheduling. She helped us write our birthplan and was always available to answer questions.
When I was not certain if I was going into labor or not, she answered my frantic phone calls and texts early in the day, and ended up driving me to my midwife's office, since I had fooishly sent my husband to work that morning. I did not feel nervous or anxious about going into labor at all, but was confident and knew that my baby and I were in great hands. Joli was the perfect coach. She worked with me with the rebozo and took me for a walk and always made sure to help me keep going. when my labor progress stalled, it was Joli who noticed a popping in my pelvis and contacted a chiropractor for us who adjusted me got our labor going again. We may have ended up with an emergency transport if it had not been for Joli's expertise.
Joli made sure i was staying hydrated, energized, and as comfortable as possible. She was by my side all day long. She stayed well after the birth of my son. Words cannot begin to describe how grateful I am for Joli. She did not leave until I was well enough to see a few visitors and getting some rest and was the first to check in with us the next morning.
She also encapsulated my placenta for me and made us a beautiful placenta print with colors we had previously chosen. She will be the first person we call the next time we are expecting. She is the most caring, dedicated, strong person I know and we are lucky to have her in our lives.
