Testimonial for Jen Allan
Jen attended the home-birth of our second son on January 1st 2018. Jen joined our mid-wife birth team with the primary function of sibling support for our 3-year-old boy who was to be home during the birth. However, the service that Jen provided to us far exceeded these expectations.
Jen was a great support in the lead-up to the birth and was available to answer any questions or concerns we had about the upcoming delivery. Her advice was always informed and thoughtful. We had expected an earlier due date with a fast labour and delivery. In anticipation of this, Jen checked in with me regularly over the Christmas and gave me great confidence that she’d be ready to come by quickly when the time came. As it transpired, Jen got to our home within a half an hour of labour starting (arriving before the mid-wife team).
During the birth, Jen helped with our son as we had planned, but also provided me with a huge amount of practical and emotional support. Her experience and caring nature meant that she intuitively knew what I needed during the entire process – from a back rub, supportive words or suggestions, and even a dose of her gentle humor. Having Jen at our son’s birth felt like having a member of our family there who really cared for our comfort and wellbeing. We would highly recommend Jen as a Doula for anyone wanting calm energy and an experienced pair of hands at your birth.
