We are incredibly grateful to Janine for her guidance and support through the birth of our first child. I had prepared for a natural birth and Janine's advice and constant positive presence helped me fulfill every part of my birth plan. She was by my side through every contraction as I labored in the tub at the hospital. She gently guided me through transition and communicated my progress with the midwife. I was 9.5 cm dilated when I left the tub to be checked. Janine stayed with me through pushing seamlessly becoming a part of the team of nurses, midwife, and my husband supporting me through that stage. When I felt like giving up after hours of pushing, Janine helped me visualize the finish line and I was able to recharge and summon up my last energy to bring our daughter into the world. Janine also helped bring my husband into the birth process to ensure he was able to be an active partner. We could not have done it without her!
