Testimonial for Jade Passamonte
My first birth was an emergency cesarean and I wanted to try for a VBAC for my second, which is why I sought out a doula. When I met Jade I felt a sense of peace. I’m not sure how else to describe how I knew she was the best match for us except that I felt calm and safe in her presence. I assumed a doula was primarily meant to provide comfort measures during labor and be an advocate and educator, but Jade was so much more than that. In fact, my labor was so quick (5 hours from first contraction to the birth) that we really only spent 1 hour together during my labor. I truly believe it was the prep work we had done throughout my pregnancy that resulted in that speedy of a labor. The education and resources she provided made my husband and I feel knowledgeable, empowered, and prepared. She also made sure I was prepared for the postpartum period. She suggested I prep meals to freeze and sent me invites to free events in the valley that set me up for success.
I had the most beautiful, unmedicated birth and attribute so much of my success to her. She made me feel confident and I learned to trust my body. My husband was so skeptical to hire a doula, but now he will tell you he is so fortunate we had Jade by our side throughout this journey. We would hire her all over again and are forever grateful she was a part of our birth!
