Testimonial for Janice Miles Birthkeeper/ Birth and Postpartum Support
We knew we wanted to work with Janice right from her first email response to us :) She was knowledgeable, passionate, supportive and kind during our whole experience with her. Because of covid, we had to prepare for labour through zoom meetings but Janice was flexible and able to help us feel confident and ready for labour and postpartum, even through video chats. She also provided numerous very helpful resources and equipment that helped us to be ready physically, emotionally and mentally for childbirth. Although she wasn't able to come to the hospital with us, she supported us at home during the first stages of labour and was there for all my texts as my contractions started slowly over a few days. She was available to us at all times by phone when we went in to give birth. She also supported us endlessly after birth and went above and beyond in so many ways- she made lactation cookies, took pictures of us to remember our experiences, and genuinely cared about our labour experience, about us, about our baby and even about our puppy. Most importantly, she helped us approach labour without fear and helped us to feel ready and excited for the experience. My labour was positive and truly manageable, thanks in large part to her and her suggestion that I use the gentlebirth techniques. She also helped me debrief after my labour unexpectedly ended in a c-section and helped us to manage at home as I recovered. We deeply appreciated her support and would encourage anyone looking for a devoted doula to work with Janice!! She loves what she does and it is so obvious- she will be your greatest cheerleader and resource!
