Testimonial for Jeni Dansand
Working with Jeni far exceeded all of my expectations. She was an incredible source of information and support throughout my pregnancy and an invaluable part of my birth experience. She answered all of my questions in an honest and non- judgmental manner and made me feel safe and comfortable.
During my labor and delivery is when I began to realize her true magic. She provided suggestions and encouragement to try different things to help progress labor naturally, which she knew was important to me. She seemed to anticipate my needs before I even knew what I needed. She offered food, juice, water, a breathing or pain control technique that was exactly perfect in the moment without my ever asking. At one point as the contractions were becoming more painful, she applied pressue to the outside of my hips, which provided such pain relief and was something I never would have though of myself.
One of the things that my husband I appreciated most was how much she included my husband. She gave him suggestions and showed him some of her pain management techniques so he and I could be near eachother and he could take an active roll.
Jeni functioned seemlessly with the rest of the hospital staff. She was a professional throughout. I know that my experience would not have been the same without heri. I only wish I would have had her involved with my first child. I have no regrets in my decision to hire Jeni and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a doula.
