Testimonial for Jackie Prescott
Jackie was such a pleasure to work with and made our birth experience as first time parents a positive and empowering one.
We met with several doulas early in our pregnancy and were having trouble finding someone we thought was a good fit. We met Jackie through a referral from a friend and were immediately struck by her confident, calming presence and her overall approach to understanding our wishes and patiently answering all of our questions.
We met with Jackie two times leading up to our son's birth and both times Jackie did a great job demystifying the childbirth experience and providing us with practical tools to use during labor. Once we went into labor, Jackie guided us to labor at home (one of our birth wishes) and was readily available when we needed her. Jackie met us at the hospital and was there every step of the way -- from triage and labor to making us our son latched post birth! She helped me relax through painful contractions, gave my partner tips and advice to support me, talked through any decisions we had to make, and made sure we felt informed and confident in the decisions we had to make.
Post birth, Jackie came to our house one week after we gave birth to talk through the many questions we had with a new baby. She helped correct breastfeeding positions, talk about feeding schedules, and even showed us how to use our carrier for the first time. We texted with her with questions and she was always available as we needed it.
Jackie was amazing to work with and we can't imagine having had such a smooth and positive birth experience without her! We will be calling her again for our next child!
