Testimonial for Jessica Gillan: Bellies, Boobs, Babies & Bliss
We really enjoyed working with Jessica. She devoted a lot of time to meet with my husband and I before the birth, offering guidance and support. She educated me from the start, loaned me books to read, sent me information and research during my pregnancy, helped me create a birth plan, helped me decide what to pack for the hospital, and even brought us food! Having her as a photographer was a double bonus - she took beautiful maternity photos and birth photos, and I am thrilled to have these to keep. :)
At the hospital, she collaborated respectfully and professionally with the doctors and nurses, while advocating for what I wanted. Without her as my doula, there was no way I could've made it through labor without any pain medication. She took meticulous notes during the pregnancy and the birth, and we reviewed them during a postpartum checkin (which was really great because I hardly remembered much once labor began).
Jessica made herself available 24/7 to answer questions about pregnancy, birth, baby, and breastfeeding. She has cultivated a lasting relationship with our family. Even though our contract has come to a close, I still feel like I can always reach out to her with any questions in the future. The amount of energy and time she invested for us went above and beyond. She tailored her services to our personalities and what we wanted with professionalism and care. I highly recommend Jessica!
