Testimonial for JESSAMYN KEAR
Part 2/2:
Another hesitation, was that I was worried that hiring someone that we weren’t initially close with was because I was concerned that a Doula would be a bother to me and get in my way. Man, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Jessamyn was my partner in there. My wife had some super scary complications. Thankfully Jess was with us to help navigate it all. The hospital was great, but they do things at their own pace and sometimes forget that it’s our first time. Jess took the time to explain everything to us in detail after the nursing staff left and go over anything and everything. She was always by our side when we needed anything, from asking the staff for water and ice chips for my wife to making sure I was also getting food, water and rest in where I could. She is not only extremely knowledgeable but an amazing care taker.
Aside from the moral support, she gave us SO much physical, mental, and emotional support. Being a licensed massage therapist was amazing too because she was able to give my wife some very necessary body work while in labor. On top of so much affirmations and reassurance that we both needed after 4 long days!
The only thing I would have changed is that we should have booked her WAY earlier in the process! Jessamyn has so much to offer! We were only able to fit in one prenatal visit before delivery, but was available via text/phone call whenever we had questions or concerns. She has also been around for questions we have had throughout this postpartum time.
Even for the budget conscious soon-to-be-dads out there, I would highly recommend not to sacrifice this crucial part in labor & delivery. Having a Doula is super SUPER important. I would pay Jessamyn's rate 5 times over! I could not have been the support person my wife needed me to be without Jess. Jessamyn will always be a part of our family after this experience. Jess thank you so much!
