Jessica was a tremendous pleasure to have for the birth of our second child. We had several meeting before the birth with plenty of time to cover the various aspects of what our ideal birth plan would be. She was knowledgeable with suggestions and respectful of everything that I wanted. She was ready with potential positions to labor in, massage techniques, visualization and even a book that covered natural remedies to induce labor when I was a week overdue. When the time came, I pretty much dealt with the contractions on my own and she never pressured me to do anything I didn't want to, but very much listened to what I wanted. She loaned me a birthing ball which helped a great deal in the early labor and allowed me to spend extra time at home more comfortably before I decided to go to the hospital.
overerall she was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.
