Testimonial for Angela Jenks, PD CD
Angela was invaluable to us during the birth of our first child. At first I thought doulas were only beneficial to those who wanted a natural birth, but Angela proved that to be SO untrue! We did not want a specific birth plan and preferred to remain flexible with our options. Angela never once tried to sway us in any one direction. She remained nonjudgmental and supported our every decision, including the epidural and C-section I ended up needing. After my epidural I labored for a long time without being able to leave the bed, so Angela helped move me into positions that would ease my discomfort and help the baby shift into an ideal position for delivery, which I never would have known to do on my own. I could tell the nurses were impressed with her knowledge! Angela was respectful of the hospital staff and seamlessly fit herself in with the nurses and doctors to work with them as a team. She has a very calming presence that kept me, my husband, and my family at ease. She made me feel so comfortable in an otherwise uncomfortable situation and provided exactly what I needed when I needed it without me ever having to ask for anything. Even after we brought our son home Angela regularly checked in via phone and visited in person to provide emotional support and reassurance. Angela made us realize the incredible value of a doula and we would highly recommend her to anyone.
