Jessica was our birth doula for the birth of our first daughter on May 17, 2021. Our experience with her was terrific from start to finish. I'd initially been unsure about hiring a doula, as I had some concrns about involving anyone outside the family in such an intimate and vulnerable moment. However, having had Jessica there, I can't imagine the birth any other way. The services she provided were invaluable. The pre-birth visits were easy to arrange, she offered either phone or in-person to accomodate our comfort. The information she gave us helped me feel calm, prepared, and cared for ahead of the birth. She checked in often as my due date approached, and was always extremely flexible with her availability. Her presence at the hospital was calming and gave both myself and my husband a sense of being looked out for by someone who really knew "the ropes". Jessica looked out for needs I didn't know I had. She helped me engage with the medical professionals in a way that was not intrusive. She helped my husband especially, helping him to engage and be involved in the process. The birth did not go as planned and Jessica was a huge comfort in a challenging moment. I would recommend Jessica to anyone, and hope she will be available for any more additions to our family.
