I can't say enough good things about my experience having Jill as my doula! I am quite an anxious person and was specifically looking for someone who would "calm my storm" so to speak during my labour. Around 1230AM I began to feel mild contractions and iimmediately texted Jill to inform her. She called me back in less than a minute and answered all of my questions putting me at ease. I called her back 2 more times (lol) and each time she was patient, answered my questions in a calm demeanor and assured me that everything was normal as it should be. When my labour bacame more intense, my husband called Jill and she came over to house quickly. When she walked in, I immediately felt her calm and relaxed presence and couldn't help but to feel relaxed myself. She spoke in a low, soothing voice, massaged my back during each intense contraction and assured me that everything that was happening was normal. I had my husband and mother there as support people but I definitely would not have been as calm if Jill was not there. If you are someone with serious anxiety, especially around the unknown, then Jill is your perfect doula. During and after my labour/delivery, she made sure that I was hydrated, eating properly, getting sleep and taking my pain meds. It doesn't hurt to mention that she is GREAT at taking photos right after the birth (we almost forgot!!) Jill was a breath of fresh air during such an intense time and I couldn't be happier with my labour and delivery experience. If you choose Jill to be your doula, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Jill!
