Testimonial for Jenn Fantasia, CLC
From the first time I met Jenn at an event, I had a feeling she was going to be the doula I hired. During the interview process and throughout our whole journey, I appreciated her professional manner and respect. From day one, I felt on the same level with Jenn and she treated me as an equal, which was another big factor in feeling comfortable with her and choosing to hire her. To me, my doula needed to be my equal, someone I could be vulnerable with, since I knew I was preparing for a vbac and had a lot of mental preparation ahead of me.
Being able to text Jenn and get her experienced advice at any time was invaluable. I never once felt judged, uncomfortable, or unsure around Jenn. During my labor, having access to her the entire time was exactly what I needed. Having her at my birth felt very comforting. I hardly looked at her or talked to her, but I never once felt that I needed to do anything. She knew where my head was and she was the presence that I needed.
Postpartum I still am texting Jenn with questions and updates because I feel like she is a part of us all now. I have gone to her mom support groups and I get to see how she is with all other moms, in whatever variation we come in. I can say without a doubt she supports families in however they decide to birth and parent, something that I hope to be able to emulate in my life towards everyone.
