From Katie Putman:
If I was a millionaire I would have paid Jeni Dansand 150,000 dollars! She was worth every penny and I wouldn't have had such an enjoyable pregnancy and birth without her.
During my pregnancy I dealt with some major anxiety and sickness. With this being my first, she helped answer all my concerns and things I had no clue about. Because of that, I felt motivated, confident, and I saw the positive when I felt sick and down. My husband felt like he not only learned a lot but also felt more confident with everything that was going on. Her classes were very educational and fun. I felt prepared for the big day. She supported me even with laboring more than 36 hours. She also helped flip the baby around from sunny side up so it turned and got into proper position for progressing my labor and birth. When it came to pushing she set me up with the Mexican blanket she brought and I gave my body the right resistance to push the baby out (versus squeezing my husbands handand not knowing where to put my hands and feet). I couldn't believe how well she took care of me too while I was pushing- Again unlike anyone else in the room, she was very intuitive as to what my body needed. Also I am a fainter, so she knew to keep putting ice cold rags on me every three minutes and supplying me with sugar drinks to keep my energy up without me ever asking. I don’t know what I would've done without her... I do know there would have been a Iot of discouraging moments. I think Jeni came into my life for a reason, and that was to help my baby come into my arms safely. I highly suggest her to anyone, and I have!
Thank you Jeni Dansand!
