What a seemingly impossible task it is to choose just the right person, whom you’ve never met before, to attend one of the most important days of your life in such an intimate role! For this reason, finding the right doula is an incredibly daunting task. However, I was blessed to have found Jill, someone who instantly felt like an old friend, and who over time, became a most incredible mentor and compassionate advocate. Just as is the case for so many, my birth did not go as I hoped or anticipated, and it presented numerous complications. In short, it was absurdly long and tough. Through every step of the way, however, Jill was by my side providing everything from health advice to unprecedented emotional support. She not only was resolute in standing in solidarity with my choices, but she helped have the voices of both my partner and I heard when we had grown quite weary. Also, Jill has a way of putting everyone around her at ease, of speaking honestly and clearly, especially in moments that can become clouded with the drama or uncertainty of a moment. And she’s smart, confident, experienced and warm, all at once. She’s precisely whom you need when you are undergoing a most exhilarating and colossal life event and need it balanced with a steady and confident force.
