Testimonial for Jennifer Mendelson
Jennifer was our doula in 2008 with the birth of our son and we hired her again in 2012 for the birth of our daughter. I had wanted to labor without drugs for both children and have births with as few interventions as possible. I succeeded in doing this and I could not have done it without Jennifer's guidance. There were complications that arose when our son had to be taken to the special care nursery due to breathing issues. My husband was able to accompany my son while Jennifer stayed with me and gave me emotional support. For my second birth we had many worries as I was at risk for birthing a baby with shoulder dystocia because she was large and my son had had partial shoulder dystocia. Jennifer accompanied us to our midwife appointment and helped make sure that all of our questions were being answered. She goes above and beyond what is expected. She is calm and humorous and her words are soothing. She helped ease any fears I had about the birthing process and helped me stay in the moment and go with the flow of what was happening. I wish every woman could have a doula like Jennifer by her side during labor and birth!
