Testimonial for Jenn Carlson, CD, PPD, IES
We really could not have asked for more. Jenn is a wonderful, caring, relaxing, knowledgeable doula who is committed to help you develop a birth plan that works for you and adapt it as necessary when things may not go as you like. We felt 100% comfortable in her and her partner (Jen's) hands. A few things that make her stand out:1) Jenn offers a complete set of services (breastfeeding consulting, post partum support, placenta encapsulation, CPR training, infant care classes). That was really important to us as we were really busy and her flexibility was awesome. 2) Because we did classes with her we got to know both her and her partner well in the months leading up to our birth. When the time came we felt great about having either one of them with us for the birth. 3) Jenn REALLY listened to what we wanted and helped us decide on elements of our plan that we weren't sure about. She does not project her opinions on you. 4) In the first few days after my baby was born, I was really not sure how well i was doing breastfeeding (was my milk in? was my baby getting enough?). The hospital lactation consultant made me feel terrible. Jenn came by right after we got home, took time to look at a feeding session, at what i was able to pump, and assured me I was not starving my child. She also gave me pointers about how to hold my baby to make feeding sessions easier -- lots of solutions and things to try, and how to know if i was produing enough. I felt way better, and empowered that I knew what to look for and how to know my baby was getting enough. I don't know what iI would have done wihtout her. I HIGHLY recommend Jenn and we will be calling her again if we are blessed with more kids.
