My husband and I feel so fortunate to have had this beautiful soul in our lives for the birth of our first child. With our families far away, she made us feel truly cared for, before, during and after the big day. Throughout a long and difficult labor and delivery that did NOT go according to plan, Jessica stayed completely in tune with our emotions while maintaining a poised presence that put us as much at ease as we could be under the circumstances. She gave me sensitive emotional encouragement and expert physical coaching and comfort (including massage - she is a licensed massage therapist). She ensured my husband was sufficiently fed, rested and caffeinated so he could fully support me. She helped decode hospital procedures we didn’t understand, and in turn ensured our needs and preferences were clearly understood by all the medical staff we interacted with (who were wonderful, but rotated through several shifts during the labor). As we had requested as part of our birth plan, she kept a meticulous written timeline of events and took amazing photos that we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. And she even laughed genuinely at the probably inappropriate jokes we made along the way. Since our baby was born we’ve continued our relationship with Jessica through her massage therapy services and taking her infant massage class. Her sensitivity, humour, and down-to-earth attitude would be an asset to any birthing family, and we recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you so much, Jessica!
