Testimonial for Jodi Anderson
Me and my partner had a unique situation where we moved to a different city at 38 weeks pregnant. I knew I wanted a doula and I only heard great things of Jodi Anderson so I thought maybe she will be available for us! Turns out she was and this was definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made! When I contacted Jodi I was living in Vancouver at the time with the plan of moving and giving birth in Kamloops so I could be with family. Jodi was very understanding of our situation and made time for us when we would come to Kamloops for family visits. We knew right away she was the doula for us! She helped guide me to what I really wanted with the birth from reading my emotions to letting us in on her personal experiences. Every time I would talk with Jodi I felt more confident about birth! We were on the same page with everything. By the time my labour started she was so supportive and there for me and my partner whenever we needed her, on the phone or in person but at the same time she wasn't hovering which was exactly what I needed. I never felt like she wasn't helpful at any point from labouring at home to the hospital. The TENS machine was a dream when Jodi introduced that to us as my contractions were intense for 3 days! Jodi was available to us 24/7 for the longest labour! When I took an 8 hour nap she was by our side. We didn't want the room full so she was amazing on helping us keep it just me and my partner. The support she had for us was unforgettable throughout my active labour. My partner had a hard time with the intensity and screams from pushing and Jodi was there for him and for me! I felt like giving up at times I was so exhausted but Jodi gave me that push of encouragment and I did it! The baby finally came, Jodi stayed by my side and fed me a PB and J sandwhich. This experience would not have been as good as it was without Jodi and I believe that 100 percent. Thank you with all our hearts Jodi, and we'll be calling you for the next babies!
