Testimonial for Jen Hamilton, BS, Full Spectrum Doula, IBCLC
Jen made the difference between being scared out of my mind about giving birth for the first time and feeling confident. The way she approached asking questions made me stop and really think about times of stress. Her questions made my husband point out a few things that I hadn't realized or considered myself. I was still nervous and a bit scared but those feelings were manageable. I had done weightlifting in the past and talking with Jen gave me the mindset of "breath through the rep, don't think about the next set" as odd as that may seem. I wasn't panicking as each contraction hit. I was focused on her voice and breathing through the moment as contractions hit, then focusing on relaxing as they eased. She made sure I knew my husband was near as that kept me calm. Her gentle encouragement was exactly what I needed and that low level of stress was incredible to feel in the moment. She took something unknown that I'd heard horror stories about and framed it in a context I could wrap my mind around. I can't recommend her highly enough.
