Testimonial for Jenny Putnam, CD(DONA), CLC
Working with Jenny as our birth and postpartum doula was nothing but a positive experience. With Jenny’s support and guidance I was able to have the unmedicated birth experience that I wanted. Jenny provided me and my husband with resources and evidence based information that we would not have otherwise had. She was hands on in helping my husband learn comfort measures to use during labor. His knowledge of these tools was so valuable when it came to us laboring at home as long as possible which we were able to do successfully. She introduced us to acupressure as well, which we practiced every night starting at 39 weeks. We think that it helped immensely in getting my labor started. Jenny was always available to me whenever I had questions or needed more information on something. She never pushed anything on me and was super supportive of all of our decisions. She provided a fantastic worksheet to help me write my birth plan and went over the final revisions with me to make sure I had considered all the fine details. During the uncertain times of covid-19, Jenny took all precautionary measures to keep us safe and even reached out to the hospital to make sure her presence would be allowed during my labor and delivery. Jenny reassured me that what I was going through during labor was normal and that I was safe. She held my hand and talked me through effective breathing and pushing. With her help I gave birth to our beautiful baby boy with minimal interventions and time spent at the hospital. She also offered me a ton of postpartum resources and support. Jenny has such a calming presence which really helped me focus on the work that needed to be done to get through labor. Jenny is a naturally kind and caring person. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for support during their pregnancy, labor and postpartum period. Thank you Jenny!
