I can't say enough wonderful things about Janice. Janice was brought to me by what I feel was a greater power. I saw her car in a parking lot with her name and services on it and when I went into the event I saw this woman walk past me and I knew she was the doula as she just exuded that spirit. I wrote her name down as I hoped to need her services in the future and a little over a year later I did! Janice is an instant safe space. She embodies the energy and spirit I envisioned the birth of my third child being welcomed into. Janice is warm, open, nonjudgemental, and pure. She is there with you on YOUR journey helping to guide you where you need and hope to go. After my 20 week ultrasound I sadly found out I had full placenta previa with a low chance of changing which drastically altered the course of how I hoped to birth my child. I now was faced with a high risk pregnancy and little chance of having a natural birth where I would have to have a c section at 37 weeks. Throughout this Janice helped me stay positive but also mourn the loss of the hope to have a natural, vaginal birth. I ended up having some complications from PP and had to unexpectedly rush to the hospital at 34 weeks pregnant. Janice met me at the hospital and didn't leave my side till we knew what was going on and I was settled into what turned into my home for the next three weeks in antepartum. Janice continued to visit me almost daily to support me in those final weeks. And she was there with my husband and I on the day we gave birth to our third child in a gentle, peaceful planned cesarian birth. I was able through her guidance, meditation, and mantras to experience a joyful, peaceful, beautiful birth with a rapid and very low pain recovery. I am so thankful she accompanied me in my journey, a journey very different than I had originally begun with her but one just a beautful in the end.
