Even before getting pregnant, I knew I would work with a doula to support me in bringing my child into the world as I was familiar with the statistics on improved birth outcomes. That being said, I had no idea what to expect nor did I anticipate the kind of support I would need.
Working with Jo Ann was so helpful and reassuring both before and after the birth of our son. Leading up to birth, Jo Ann provided education and answers on everything a new parent might need to know. I know that the preparation she gave us set me up for the best delivery possible. I was able to deliver my son without medication and have a hospital birth where our preferences were respected and I attribute this in large part to Jo Ann’s help.
Despite Covid restrictions, Jo Ann was able to provide virtual guidance to my husband so that he could support me during labor - and she stayed up all night to do so!
After our son was born and we were having major challenges with nursing, Jo Ann offered both the helpful guidance and the reassurance and emotional support I needed as a new mom. Jo Ann responded to any concern I had leading up to and after birth at literally a moment’s notice and gave me so much peace of mind.
I would recommend working with Jo Ann to any expectant parents! Regardless of what kind of birth you envision for yourself, Jo Ann offers education, guidance and judgement free support to help you have the birth you want.
