Testimonial for Therese Jensen
Having a baby as a single parent is scary and having no family in LA is hard. My mother was not able to fly over to be with me due to covid. I was dreading being alone at the hospital, when I know having birth is one of the most amazing life experiences to be shared with someone. So that's when I decided to search for a Doula and came across Therese. From the moment we said 'hello' on the phone I just knew that Therese was the right Doula for me. She asked the right questions in getting to know my needs and wants for birth preparation, as this was my first time so I had no clue what to expect. Leading up to the birth Therese checked in with me often, making sure I was OK, which I felt was nice.
On the day of my induction, Therese was on time and came prepared with all her tools for the big day! :)
From the moment we settled into the hospital, Therese was so warm and comforting with making sure I was comfrotable and calm. The induction took a while to kick in and Therese stood by me even though I kept telling her to go home to rest, she insisted on staying next to me.
When I was moved to the labor suite, Therese had set up the room with tea lights, essential oils etc to make it feel special and homely for me which was a nice touch. When I was having a contraction she would be right there making sure I had i what i needed and to remain calm.
Throughout the birth, Therese was my biggest cheerleader and encouraged me to keep going when I just wanted to give up.
I could have not done this alone and so thankful for Therese.
