Testimonial for Jenel Maruk
We hired Jenel for my second birth, which was a vbac. Due to my first labour and birth being so long, with back labour, and ending in c-section due to positioning, there were specific qualities I was looking for in a doula and that I found in Jenel. Jenel had lots of knowledge about positioning/spinning babies, as well as strong hands from being an RMT. Thankfully I didn't need the counterpressure that I did with my first! Jenel's prenatal visits were extremely helpful prepare me for birth and put my mind at ease, and during labour she was invaluable. She beat us to the hospital and her reminders to slow by breathing between contractions, and guide my partner how to touch me were especially helpful. I enjoyed the opportunity to debrief with her following the birth, and the closing of the bones ceremony and the food she provided us were wonderful postpartum. I would definitely recommend Jenel as a doula if you are looking for a knowledgable support person for birth and everything before and after it.
