In 2017 I was due with my 2nd baby after having a c section 10 years prior. I knew I’d need to fight for my VBAC & needed a tribe that would back me on that decision. Littlendid I know she would become much more than my cheerleader for a VBAC. During my pregnancy I had lots of ups and downs with the baby’s father and struggled immensely. She consoled me and lifted me up. She helped me feel strong & brave. During my labor she reminded me so much what an incredible woman I am and how strong I was. The thing is, she didn’t just say it as a doula. She said it as a friend and someone who believes it. Which made me believe it, too. Through all of this my almost 10 yr old was very intrigued and into learning about the birthing process. Joli encouraged her and help normalize it for her too. Thank you, Joli, for being an anchor in my successful VBAC, I will be forever grateful for you and the love you’ve shown me, Aria, and Kamerin. We love you!
