Testimonial for Jessica Mascher
My family and I had a great experience with Jessica as our doula. This was our first baby and I hadn't had any experiences with doulas, I just knew I wanted one to help me successfully navigate birth and the time surrounding it.
First, Jessica communicates quickly and effectivly which made scheduling the prenatal appointments with her very easy. At our first prenatal appointment she was able to answer our questions and provide us with valuable excerises and activities to practice at home to prepare for the birth. This was so helpful for me as I needed to feel like I was gathering 'tools' and doing something to actively work towards readiness as the end of my pregnancy became very close.
She also offers two prenatal massages as part of her standard doula package. This acheived the goal of feeling very comfortable with Jessica; something that I feel aided in feeling at ease with having her attend and support me during labor. She is a gifted massage therapist and I found this to be beneficial both prenatally and during labor.
When labor started, Jessica was quick to respond to the call to action. When she arrived, I was in active labor and she was able to jump in as a support person without any prompting or instruction; she just seemed to know the exact right things to be doing, which is probably the most important attribute of a doula. She exudes a quiet confidence which I was able to feel when I needed it most.
Not only did I feel that it was beneficial for me to have her support, but it was also important for my husband. He was able to be the type of support I needed because she was there to fill in the gaps in his knowledge and abilities. We would both highly recommend Jessica to any of our friends and family who are expecting a baby.
