Testimonial for Jennifer Dzen
I am not sure there are words to truly express the joy of working with Jen. After having a rough time with my first birth I found out about doulas and knew if I had a second baby, I would use one. From the first meeting with her I know she was the one. She was so warm and compassionate. I felt seen, heard, and supported. I felt much more confident going into the pregnancy then I did with my first child and after a recent miscarriage. It really helped me stay calm during stressful times to have her to lean on. Doctors are busy, spouses do not completely understand but Jen was never too busy and always understood. She always understood if I was just venting and needed a shoulder to lean on emotionally or if I need guidance and what I might be open to. I really felt like she understood me and that she gaged her responses to fit my personality. We also took her birthing class. Her class was amazing and really helped my partner and I feel prepared for the birth. She happily went with me on a tour of the hospital when I asked. She was always willing to find ways to help me feel prepared and comfortable. When it came to the actual birth that was where she really shined. She supported my partner in supporting me and let him often take the lead but knew when to step in or give him guidance, I loved that she was able to help make him a vital part of the process. He felt that he was truly able to contribute and support me. I am not sure I would have made it through an induced labor medication free without Jen. She is incredibly adaptive and follows your guild to makes sure each family’s experience with her is unique to their needs and wants. She is a wonderful person that now feels like family and I want her in my life always. If you are thinking about hiring Jen, I feel I can assure you that you will not regret it for one moment!
