Testimonial for Jennifer Richards CD(DONA), CLD, HCHD, CYBE

Jennifer was my doula in February right before she left Okinawa. Originally she wasnt going to take on anymore clients because of her move, but fortunately for my family she decided to extend her doula schedule long enough to take me on as her last client! I cant imagine having a doula other than Jennifer there with us. We had planned on going to a birth center to have a natural, medication free birth but my body had other plans. Thanks to Jennifer's calming presence and amazing hip squeezes I labored at home and ended up having the perfect water birth. She was with me every step of the way and after my daughter was born at home she rode in the ambulance with me to the hospital and stayed until we were examined and comfortable. One amazing thing about Jennifer is that she worked perfectly with my husband. When I was in labor Jen would rub my back, make sure I was hydrating by drinking water, and time my contractions for me when I asked. Any pregnant mom and her family would be so, so fortunate to be able to hire Jen as her doula!
