Having Jenn with me through my second pregnancy and beyond has been so beneficial to my transition as a mother of two. I had a very quick labor, but as we arrived at the hospital at the same time she was there just in time for me to hit my transitional phase and i am so thankful for that. She was calm, nurturing at just the right moments and helped me feel comfortable when i didn't feel like anything was bringing me comfort. What has been so incredible for me is the support i have received from her postpartum. I am so thankful i was able to reach out to her with my concerns, emotions, anything , even still 6 months later. If you are lacking someone that you can totally unleash to free of judgment who actually can provide words of understanding and comfort, having that quality in a doula is something i find invaluable. I felt that she was able to voice my needs at the hospital when i was not, and she was able to gently guide me from the negative voices telling me i couldn't do it , it was just what i needed, and that is because she takes so much time to go over everything you are hoping to have for your birth, without ever feeling like you are being coached through your experience, unless that's what you want, I'm positive she could do that for you! She's upfront, but nurturing in all the right moments. And i will forever be grateful for having her in my life ! ?
