Testimonial for Jodi Anderson
As a first time mom I was understandably nervous about experiencing pregnancy, labour and delivery for the first time. We had a friend and our midwife recommend hiring Jodi as a doula so we did. We also attended her prenatal classes. Having her as a doula was a game changer. Meeting with her prior to our birth to discuss preferences/birth plan was super helpful. She was great and helped to give us the confidence to advocate for our family. My birth did not go as planned and Jodi was a calm and comforting prescence through that. She supported us with the preferences we had expressed prior to labour and also supported me when I realized that some of those preferences were not what was right for myself and that birth in the moment. I ended up having an unplanned c-section which was something that I absolutely did not want and something I thought would have been devestating. However, the support I received from Jodi, my midwife and the rest of the team allowed me to process the experience, make peace with it easily and begin motherhood in a better place than I would have been without them. Jodi also provided us with support in two follow-ups following the birth of our daughter. One at home and one in office. These were hopeful for processing the birth experience and getting support with new motherhood. Jodi is is very knowledgeable and is up-to-date about best practices. I found that she was open and allowed us the space to make the best decisions possible for us and our family
