Testimonial for Jodi Utter
My husband and I engaged Jodi Utter as our birth doula for the birth of our baby in 2020. She came highly recommended from a friend of mine who had engaged Jodi as her postpartum doula.
Jodi was very kind, compassionate and understanding as she guided us through our prenatal appointments and newborn care class to help us prepare for our baby's birth . We definitely felt that she was the right person for us.
We were hoping for a natural birth, but our doctors ended up recommending a c-section due to the circumstances. Jodi helped us make informed decisions on how we should proceed. We felt greatly relieved to have her looking out for us, especially as this was our first and things did not go according to plan. Due to the pandemic, she was not allowed to be with us in the room as it was a c-section (she would have been allowed in during the labor and delivery portion had it not been a c-section), which was a bummer for us. But, we were able to stay in touch with her on the phone and via text, which was tremendously helpful.
She helped me work out some breastfeeding issues as well, and also recommended a very good IBCLC with whom I had a further consultation.
I have stayed in touch with her even after her postpartum visit and she has been kind enough to answer quick questions via text that I have asked her from time to time. I have also had a phone consultation with her to go over my baby's progress and tips for how to better support baby's needs.
I would absolutely recommend her to my family and friends.
